Roger's best album?

What do you think is Roger's best album (excluding 'The Cross') and WHY?

Mine is 'Happiness?', as it a) contains protest songs and is highly political and b) because it's a coherent album which doesn't fall to pieces because of a lousy song-order.

Strange Frontier is a close second though!

Well, I have to go for Happiness? too. But only because that album has a meaning for me personally. Brings back memories of one of the happiest periods in my life ;-)

Strange Frontier indeed is a good number two. Some outstanding songs but also some crap. The other ones? Sorry, but the songwriting on Fun in Space (although pretty cool as a cult-thing) and especially Electric Fire is way way below standard!

Go ahead, shoot me! I know some of you will ;-)))

Fun In Space - though the others come very near that. My least favourite is probably Strange Frontier - never liked some of the songs on side B (Young Love, It's An Illusion, Abandonfire).

I'm not sure. But yesterday I listened to Fun In Space for the first time in a while and was completely blown away. I had forgotten how good it was.

I like to listen to Happiness? whilst driving on long trips. Fun In Space and Electric Fire hype me up and make me want to dance!

I quite like Electric Fire but it would go a bit far to say that's his best....it's again all a matter of personal taste I think, no?

I still need to get Electric Fire, but for now, my favorite is Happiness?. I love almost every song on there, and it's got good variety and great lyrics.

Happiness - although it took a long time to grow on me.

Loved Fun in space and Strange Frontier back in the 80's when they came out. I must admit I don't really listen to them anymore. I never liked Happniness? when it was released but loved Electric Fire instantly. Now only recently I started to listen to Happiness? and it really starts to grow on me (but slowly..)

Not too familiar with Roger's albums(yet),but I LOVE "I'm In Love With My Car".

Yep, fabulous stuff. The non-album material from the Strange Frontier-period belongs to my favourite material in the Queen-related catalogue.

I have to go with "Electric Fire". Great songs (The Whisperers, Pressure On, Where Are You Now) and great sound.
