As the topic says, who was the best synth/keyboard composer out of the four?
AND.... Is the Synth/Keyboard a musical instrument that has any major credit, regard or skill in playing on a recording in a world of Queen, and having the title "the best Synth/keyboard composer in the band"?

As we know, each member of Queen is a multi instrumentalist with guitar being the only instrument that they have all played on a recording unless, Roger has played a piano part on a Queen recording that I have over looked... Then we have Synth/keyboards. The only instrument that all four have played on, that is credited on an album, which isn't their main instrument

I think it is Brian. His work on WWTLF is extraordinary.

Possibly 'Action This Day'.
John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.

Freddie is unique especially early albums, but he did great work on the Miracle chord progression and Innuendo.

His of writing and his orchestrations made him one of the Greatest ever! He was not virtuoso but he had the best feeling and passion. Very different from all the other musicians.
