Brian.

They are both magnificent singers.. Not in Freddie's leage, of course not. But to me, Brian has a better quality for soloing in softer songs, Roger's has more of a rock quality to it. It's a very hard decission of which I can't choose since they have different voice qualities. But Roger's is by far sexier. :P

huhn...i do think that Roger has a very sexi voice but i prefer Brian more...i agree, he sings with more emotion and just has a soft sweetness about him
Freddie Mercury is my sexi moon lobster "Mis francais est la meme que before. C'est un peu crap"-Brian May "I'm just a musical prostitute, my dear!" -Freddie Mercury

I like both their voices, however, Roger is, IMO, by far the better singer, his voice is much stronger, as someone said before, Brian's voice can get very squeaky and it's quite unreliable live.

Personaly I think it's Brian. But if Freddie hadn't joined after Tim Staffell left Smile (they wouldn't be called Queen and they would probebly suck now but whatever) then I think Roger would have taken the place of lead singer mainly because his voice is more capibel of doing extravaganzic stuff (spelung is way off there sorry). Brian is good for soft stuff but Roger's voice is just plain better for rock.

Roger is a better singer, I think. If you'd listen to his solo stuff and then Brian's stuff...you would know. Maybe I say this because i'm a drummer too :) and play shitty guitar.

i have to disagree (sorry!) with those who say only Brian sings with emotion. i may have agreed with you before I saw 46664 - but ever since I heard Roger sing 'Say It's Not True' I'd have to say that they are on a par with each other regarding emotion. Roger, however IMO has the STRONGER voice with a wider range, as does this guy called Freddie...can't remember his last name for the life of me...

Roger! No, wait -Brian. No, Roger. Then again, Brian.. Eh, I guess Roger. Did I say Roger? I meant Brian. Oh f'%$ it I just can't decide.
Now seriously, I think I prefer Roger because he can vary his voice from raspy Rock 'n Roll to those high notes that I love so much.

Roger absolutely!
Well I like also Brian's voice coz is so sweet, but Roger's voice is stronger and more powerful and when he reaches those high notes...mmmm... just love it!
