Yes, but in the case of TSMGO 90% of the music is just the same chord progression over and over. Hence, whoever wrote it (i.e. Roger & John) have already composed 90% of the music. Lyrics are of course something different.[/QUOTE]
The chord progression is one part. Lyrics, Melody, Rhythm ... they all add up to a song. The Chord progression may repeat throughout the song but the chords don't equal 90% of the song.

You people have issues with the creative process. Brian didn't write the song! You people are answering your own questions. This is so friggin' insane. Now to open your minds to a level as close to mine as possible ask yourself these questions:
Did Brian write all the lyrics?
Did Brian write all the music?
Without the input of others would it have been the same song, as good or not?
All fof those questions are probably no. So you can't give any one individual credit. I think this is just a case of people feeling a need to condense information so they can understand it better. It's easier saying so and so did this instead going in to detail about the facts. It may be easier but it doesn't make it right.

It's a Queen song as far as I can tell.
Brian did not right ALL of the song. Everyone knows this. Brian has never, EVER said this. He has taken credit for the CONCEPT behind the lyrics, but has given full credit the involvement of Freddie and the others. They were involved, but the concept was his, and he has every fucking right to take credit for it.
This is why they decided to credit all of the songs to Queen instead of an individual writer. Because obviously one of them as an individual would bring a concept or lyric or piece of music to the table, all four of them would usually contribute something to it.
Try again Fat Queen Pig, honest to God, you are fucking pathetic. You give trolls a bad name, you're so inept. What real evidence is there that Brian is an egomaniac? The centre of a donut. Nothing. And no, your moronic theories don't count as real evidence. What evidence is there he is a humble, kind and good hearted man? The testimonial of just about everyone who's ever met the guy. But maybe I shouldn't be so hard on you. You've obviously a broken failure of a human being who will never accomplish anything worthwhile, whereas Brian's music and charity work has made a real and good difference to the lives of countless people all across the world. I suppose if I was a pathetic and bitter nothing like you, I'd be looking for someone to lash out at too.

No, but 90% of the music. The chors already have the metre incorporated, you know...

Sing the melody and you get the song. No chords required.

Yes, but in that case chords dictated the melody, not otherwise.
