I think that is a great song for driving down the road in.
The song Sheer Heart Attack is clearly sung by Freddie, Roger is only in the backing vocals.

The lead vocal on the studio version doesn't SOUND like Freddie, but that's just a credit to his versatility because Daniel vZ is correct: it's Freddie. A closer listen should reveal that fact.
Plus, the album liner notes for the song SHA read, "Bass and rhythm guitars Roger," yet, by contrast, on "Fight from the Inside" they read, "Bass guitar and vocal Roger."

Don't take this too harshly, but between this and the other thread about Brian singing on "Put Out The Fire" I'm starting to wonder...Can certain people can really not tell the difference between Freddie's, Brian's and Roger's vocals?
Freddie sings lead on BOTH tracks.
If you really need more than auditory evidence, the News Of The World liner notes credit Roger and Brian on the songs they sing. "Sheer Heart Attack" is NOT one of those songs! And before you argue that the lack of evidence is evidence that he might, the liner notes are very specific as to who does what on each song.

To be honest, for years I thought Roger sand Sheer Heart Attack. I even posted about it when Brian May mentioned it in his Soapbox. Somebody had asked him about it. I didn't hear the end of it on this Forum! haha
Roger sings Sheer Heart Attack in the same way Brian seems to be singing Dear Friends. Freddie is not singing like Freddie in those songs. He appears like he is consciously trying to sound like the songs' authors or maybe he really stuck to their guide vocals.
I believe that if we heard a demo for those songs with Roger and Brian on vocals, they would sound exactly the same.

Fun It
Seriously. Especially his vocals on '...only soul you'll ever meet' @ 1m16s and 2m25s.

I see that nobody has mentioned 'Fun It' :P I kinda like it, because it has an odd catchiness about the guitar riff, with Taylor's vocals being sort of mysterious. Personally, I like 'Drowse' and 'Tenement Funster'.

I LOVE the guitar riff in Fun It. The rest of it isn't so good...
My favourite is probably Drowse at the moment, though Tenement Funster is also very good.

I rather think that Freddie is simply invoking styles and tones based on what the song requires. Sung a different way, the song does not achieve the desired level of emotion. "Dear Friends" is like a lullaby, it's meant to be soft and moody. He sings parts of "You Take My Breath Away" the same way, for example.

Sheer heart attack clearly and obviously is freddie on lead vocals. It's freddie singing roger style, for the song like the above poster said. You clearly hear roger in the backing vocals.

Tenement Funster, nuff said.

Totally agree with Rhyeking! I don't feel that Fred tries to sing in the style of BM or other...He sings to suit the song.
Drowse has long been one of the top songs but has recently become my fav Arty song since I started to record a version of it....Great lyrics and such a great feel.......but 'Fun In Space'(song) is also up there too.(I know, not a Queen track!!!)
'No More of That Jazz'
'I'm In Love With My Car'....brilliant and I like the way the lead voc is double-tracked.
