Brian May Vs. Freddie Mercury (songwriting)

who would you say is the better song writer? It really is tough to say, because these two wrote some of queen's best hits and songs

just to name a few from each:

Brian:

'39
Fat Bottomed Girls
We Will Rock You
I Want It All
Tie Your Mother Down
Who Wants To live Forever
We Will Rock You
Keep Yourself Alive
White Queen
The Show Must Go On
Sail Away Sweet Sister
Hammer to Fall
Save Me

Freddie:

Bohemian Rhapsody
Killer Queen
Love of My Life
Somebody To Love
Crazy Little Thing Called Love
Play The Game
Bicycle Race
Don't Stop Me Now
We Are The Champions
Seven Seas Of Rhye
Under Pressure

these songs are just some of the great ones they each wrote, but who do you guys think were more talented at song writing?

I think Freddie was... i like most of his songs a little better, and he had more hits...

I think they're equally good songwriters.

I think the same, because both wrote very different kinds of songs. I think there is no way tsaay that one of them is better!!!

My favourite tracks tend to be Brian's (which doesn't mean he was better). Of course Fred was more advanced in musical things like modulations and complex structures and rhythms, which doesn't make him better either.

They were both brill, and a good team whenever they collaborated.

Me too

I would have to say Freddie Mercury not taking anything from Brain May.They are both great,but Freddie Mercury was better.

Both equal in the eyes of moi! :D

Ditto!:D

I like/love more of Freddie's songs than Brian's, but the songs of Brian that I love, I LOVE.

I guess that's my way of saying I also think they're equal.

I find that Brians writing is more emotional but thats just me.

We cant say who's better...but which songs do we like better...I like freddie's songs better..but who want's to live forever is the most beautiful song ever written for me...

Under Pressure is hardly a song written by Freddie Mercury though...

I would have to say Freddi...March Of The Black Queen and Bohemian Rhapsody both amaze me...Brian has absolutly amazing songs as well like The Show Must Go On
