Roger... without a shadow of a doubt.

Neither are in Freddie's league.
Neither are in Paul Rodgers league.

But at least Roger has a real distinct rasp.

Brian's voice really does nothing for me.
Having a smoking area in a restaurant is like having a pissing section in a swimming pool

Roger has a stronger voice, but I find Brian sings with more emotion... since that's the #1 thing I look for in a singer, I prefer Brian.

It depends on the mood of song you are looking to listen to. I find both of their voices rather nice. Brians can sound like more of a soothing storytelling voice whereas Rogers varies. Raspy at times, but that fits very well.

I agree with Sir GH.

Roger is technicaly more sound but Brian is more emotive.

I like both their voices - Roger's has a raspier quality that's perfect for rock, but there's something about Brian's I like more. The emotion he puts in is great.
Resistance is futile. You are now an orb.

I like both. They both have good quality in them for different reasons.

Roger.
Only because I can not get through Brian's 1st solo record 'Back to Light" without pulling clumps of hair. Just listen to 'Love Token'.

At least with Roger, on 'Strange Frontier" or "Happiness", one can get through these in one sitting.


Roger just needs a throat lozenge. Brian, unfortunately, needs stronger vocal chords.

I agree 100%! Though I DO like Rogers voice... Though, I didn't until a few months ago. ;p

i think Brianns is far too squeeky for most tracks, take tie your mother down and too much love will kill you performed at the Freddie Merc Tribute Gig, killed my ears, Roger on the other hand is a brill voice, always great to hear his voice at a concert!
