I don't post forums a lot...and rarely contribute to disscussions because you're all so firey tempered and witty :) I take back all...as i might get some jockstrap saying we're not all like that! Anyway,I remeber reading a few posts a while back about the worst Queen songs. Drowse popped up in quite a few peoples answers and i don't get it man! The first seconds of the song when i heard it mad me go WOW. I thought maybe some of you didn't like it as much because its quite a contrast to the other songs on A Day At The Races(fuck your abbreviations) :) i think its class especially at the end where he's taking to him self saying oh i think ill be Clint eastwood...Jimi Hendrix was good...now who esle do i like? I can't help smiling! I find nothing bad with Rog's song either...fine...he's not writing Bohemian Rhapsody but he is the cool cat!...you cannot judge him just because he writes macho? well i dont know...maybe not macho songs. Just different. Everyone knows that all four of them were completly different. So superb song. Simply Roger. Owh Yes!

If you mean Drowse is a great song, i totally agree with you.
I used to totally hate Drowse, but now I sometimes put in A Day at the Races just to hear it.
It's an aquired taste, I suppose.

Well said! Drowse is a song that has its very own atmosphere. I like the lyrics as well as the music. I can't imagine Brian or Freddie singing this song, it's very Rogerlike.
The song does not rock, nor does it roll (whatever that may be) but to me it is a very unique song. The guitar part sounds like a Hawaiian guitar that is too tired to play some more hoolahoop music after having it played all night long.

I agree as well. I'd go further and say it's Roger's first really good song. e.g. Loser in the End stops Queen II from being 10/10 for me!
Drowse is a great song.
Have my eggs poached for breakfast I guess!!!!

adatr is a perfect album, but my least favorite is 'drowse' it's still good though.
I love that song. Reminds me of being over in England somewhere, and enjoying a drink and song with friends. Don't know why, but I'm fond of that style just because it goes on a tangent from everything else. Guess that's why they're so popular, from being diverse.
Drowse is Roger's best song! I love it! I remember I was on a flight and I had Drowse playing on my headphones. It fit so perfectly as I looked out my window and passed through the clouds. That song is one reason why ADATR is such the gem that it is.
Nicely done :) im glad i found some humans who love it! you'll find meh in a few months randomly commenting on another song :D adios! *salutes*
Yes Drowse, one of the few songs where Taylor showed depth. And I love the slide, I wished Brian had played w/ one more often.
A cracking song on a cracking album listened to it just yesterday and i also love the slide guitar on the track who knows what the anthlogy will bring up another slide guitar track somewhere.
Drowse is a classic song and one of his best.

I love Drowse! It's one of my favorites on ADATR.
Hear, hear! Drowse is absolutely Roger's best song to me. Always loved it and still do. Great vocals, great instruments and a realy special, unique arrangement and structure.
Really the only problem with it is that it is difficult to make out a lot of the lyrics.
