I was listening to No-One But You last night on my headphones and I found myself thinking that Roger's vocals on this track were just superb. This gave me an idea for the above topic, although I wouldn't be surprised if this was discussed here before. Anyways, what I'm interested in is what is your favourite vocal performance by Freddie, Brian and Roger on a Queen album (just studio albums - no live ones, no solo projects, just Queen)? Obviously, John didn't sing so you can provide your favorite example of his bass work, if you like.
Cheers
PS. I wouldn't mind if you suggested only one song per member, just so that it's transparent. I mean, it's up to you, but obviously Fred sang a few more tunes than the rest of them (combined), so this could give him a certain advantage. If we decide on only one song then perhaps we can choose the best vocal performance on an album, by any member. Just an idea.

I love Freddie´s voice on many songs in ADATR: You Take My Breath Away, The Millionaire Waltz, You And I .... although I also like his raspy voice in the 80´s, AKOM album specially (Princes and Gimme The Prize) and The Miracle album too.
Brian: Sail Away Sweet Sister .... and Good Company too !
Roger: he´s the man to me :) ... Drowse, I´m In Love With My Car, Fight From The Inside, More Of That Jazz ... even Let Me Live.
cheers

While you mention John - I always loved his Queen 1 work - Keep Yourself Alive, Liar, Great King Rat.
This last week I've been listening to Hammer to Fall a lot - and really noticing the bass!
Cheers.

Too many great moments from freddie, I'll leave him out.
Brian- 39, His soft weak voice works perfectly for this song
roger- Tenament funster shows rogers voice as a solid rock singer, but He sounds good on most of the rockers he sings.

Freddie - too many to mention and I can't stick at one, so: Save Me/ Play The Game/ Too Much Love Will Kill You/ Heaven For Everyone/ Innuendo/ Show Must Go On/ Days Of Our Lives
Brian - '39 as lead, Show Must Go On for backing
Roger - Rock It as lead, Let Me Live/ No-One But You for backing
John - excellent bass on A Kind Of Magic

I think Freddie's best was One Year Of Love, but there really are too many to choose from.
Brian on '39 because I really don't like his lead voice and this one is fun enough to stand.
Roger on Hijack My Heart was nice.
John (singing) on Bohemian Rhapsody.
David Richards tapping the M-1 keys for Roger on I Can't Live With You

I'm also going to leave Freddie out, although Bo Rhap would pobably be my pick.
Lead:
Brian- Sleeping on the Sidewalk.
Roger- Fight From the Inside.
Non-lead vocal contributions:
Brian- Keep Yourself Alive/Let Me Live.
Roger- The March of the Black Queen.

That would probably be my pick as well, it's certainly one of the greatest ever vocal tracks from any artist; but if we include songs in which the three all sing, just not at the same time, then three other contenders are IMO Keep Yourself Alive (god, I love Brian's line :D), Bo Rhap (of course!) and Let Me Live, which IMO remains among Queen's most underrated songs.

Roger- His part in Let Me Live Freddie- this one nearly impossible to do but off the top of my head I'm gonna go with Who Wants to Live Forever Brian- '39

Think Roger's part in Let Me Live is fantastic Johns bass in Under Pressure and AOBTD Freddie I really like IWTBF but my favorite by him is killer queen i love the range he has Brian i like his beginning bit of WWTLF cant really think of any others that i really like to mention
