Who was the most consistant member of the band in studio

I really don’t get the question.

Not sure what being consistent means in the context of a band that made very diverse music. Queen was essentially four solo projects working under that title.

Each song has its merit — regardless of who performed on it and who was holidaying in Bali.

"Queen was essentially four solo projects working under that title"

?

True, but still interesting to wonder about I think.

It is something that surely varied album to album too which again we can’t know any truth of the details but it’s interesting to wonder who contributed the most/spent the most time working on any given album. And, if that had an impact on the overall sound of each album.

Of course “contributed” is up for interpretation too. Is it just studio time, time spent writing, time spent performing, time spent overseeing the full track. Do you include setting up? Have you truly contributed more if you just spent ages perfecting your part where someone else recorded their input quite quickly? Is it one of these more than the others?

I still think Freddie was the most consistent because He spent ages on making Bohemian Rhapsody in the studio back in 1975, Freddie lovingly nurtured that track and worked his socks off with the opera sections and we all know the tapes went transparent with so many overdubs and backing vocals. I honestly cant think of another Queen song that Freddie worked on for so long?

Black Queen, Somebody to Love, Millionaire Waltz, Master-Stroke, etc., not to mention songs he didn't write but where he lent a hand to the songwriting process such as Ga Ga, Break Free, Save Me... and songs he wasn't creatively involved with but which still required a lot of work from him.

But, then again, the same would apply to everyone else: John didn't write 'Teo Torriatte', but who knows how long he spent rehearsing the backing track with Maylor; Brian didn't write 'Killer Queen', but he worked his backside off doing those guitar harmonies and backing vocals; Roger didn't write 'Bo Rhap', but he was there for the backing track, the drum overdubs, the timpani, the gong, the cymbal overdubs, the countless backing vocals...

For all we know, nobody used suppositories..

That said, I would speculate that Freddie was the most consistent and "regular".

What kind of garbage trivial question is that anyways? What's done in the loo ought to be left well alone.
