Tenament funster and These are The Days of our lives.....modern times Rock N roll is one of his bettter songs..I'm in love with my Car...Ga Ga, magic,  Breakthru. SHA

He had some decent solo material as well...some that I think was better than his efforts with Queen...just sayin...

How about Innuendo? Also, wasn't Under Pressure in it's initial stages a Roger song called People on the Streets? BTW, I love Rock It, but maybe that is why The Game was my first Queen album, which I got at the time of it's release.

I am also absolutely nuts for Machines and I Go Crazy, both co-written with Brian.

Oh, and if QPR counts, Cosmos Rocking and Surf's Up are great.

Let us not also forget Invincible Hope (studio version): classic RT pop.

And as for solo, I just love New Dark Ages, No More Fun (especially the TV version), Foreign Sand, Strange Frontier, Man on Fire and Let's Get Crazy.

Mmmm... it seems like I do like Roger's songs... LOL

How come Drowse never gets a mention in these things? Its a superb song, the lyrics are well written and the song is a major highlight on the ADATR album.

Roger Taylor is excellent. Here's my list, not in any order:

Rock It
Coming Soon
Sheer Heart Attack
Drowse
Modern Times (Especially those later live ones EG Rainbow '74)
ADRRFMD
Tenement Funster
Radio Gaga
A King Of Magic
Heaven For Everyone

Haven't included ones credited to the whole band. Of the Cross and solo stuff, there's a great deal I like, but 'Shove It'? Christ on a bike no.

Tenement Funster
Fight From The Inside
Modern Times Rock and Roll
Sheer Heart Attack
Those Were the Days of Our Lives
I'm in Love With My Car
A Kind of Magic
Drowse

Arnaldo: Innuendo is not Roger's. Way out of his league. Under Pressure is Freddie's and David's. I Go Crazy is just Brian's, not a collab.

Fact: Bowie wrote a song called 'People On The Streets' for his 1973 side project The Astronettes. It was unreleased until 1995.

Thanks for the corrections, Seb. As for Innuendo and UP, those were just rumours I thought were true. The weird thing is that, for some reason, I always thought I go Crazy was a collaboration! I guess synapses go wild with age :)

Back to the topic, Sheer Heart Attack, Tenement Funster and Modern Times Rock'n Roll are class. A Kind of Magic never really impressed me, but it was one of the highlights of the Argentinian QPR gig I managed to go. Roger sung it in his small catwalk kit and Brian went nuts during the solo.
