Does anyone else think that The Loser In The End sounds a lot like Son & Daughter?

Once you have answered, you can mention another pair of sings that sound similar.
This can't end well.
Haven't noticed that before..

It's a hard life & Play the game sound similar to me.
Not those are losers who fall, but those who don't stand up.
The Loser In The End...Queen couldn't sound more like the Who if they tried.
This is what you wanted, this is what you're going to get.

Oh wow.
I see what you mean. Not just the music, but Roger Taylor's vocals parallel much to Roger Daltrey's. Strange.

No, no. Other QUEEN songs, not other bands.

Well that's dumb. ;)

well the koto at the very end of "The Prophet's Song" and the beginning of "Love of My Life"
Stone Cold Crazy Sounds a lot like Nevermore
Wear a rubber next time Freddie =(
The whole Works album has strong flavor of a selfcopying.

There's only so many notes, eventually they all get used up.
There's one riff in Stone Cold Crazy identical to one in Great King Rat.

Compare the melodies of Rockyou and Dragon Attack: "buddy you're a boy make a big noise" with "take me to the room where the red's all red" (or however it is).

Flamenco cadences (or variants) were used several times in Fred's tracks, sometimes only in the bass though: Vagabond Outcast, Liar, Great King Rat...

Ogre Battle and GKR's structure (similar way to introduce the bridge and develop it sustaining the chords).

Abrupt arrangement simplification in the middle (or beginning) of a track featuring piano vamping during two measures: My Fairy King, Millionaire Waltz, Bo Rhap, Death On Two Legs.

Almost identical synth-string part during The Miracle (after "the one thing" part) and Was It All Worth It ("we love you madly").

Spread Your Wings and Seven Days couldn't be more similar when it comes to musical structure and harmony. Lyrics share some tricks as well imo.

Lap Of The Gods and Bo Rhap share a one-measure descending bass lick.

The string break in Don't Try So Hard is similar to the "no no no no no no no" in Bo Rhap in the sense that it starts in B, ends in Bb, and has got a similar motion (down-up-down).

I'm In Love With My Car shares several things with Drowse.

Innuendo's bridge is in 3/4 like the one in Bicycle Race.

And so on.....
John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.
You Dont Fool Me is the Under Pressure bassline backwards.
Freedom of choice is what you've got Freedom from choice is what you want http://queen4ever.19.forumer.com/index.php
Intro to Tie Your Mother Down, and White Man (although likely intentional, as an album intro?)
the endings of bohemian rhapsody and march of the black queen. i'm pretty sure there is another prototype to the ending of bohemian rhapsody, just can't think right now, rough night
