I know the songs on the last few albums were credited to "Queen" rather than individually, so those don't count as far as my question goes. I am paying more attention to who wrote what, and I am amazed at how many songs Brian wrote - the greater share? Please factor in A and B side single releases as well.
Yes, it was a worthwhile experience.
I'm gunna total guess here...
John 4%
Roger 8%
Brian 40%
Freddie 48%

I really have no fucking clue!
Freddie was the sole dominant composer in all of the albums, except Races (co-dominant with Brian), Game (co-dominant with Brian) and News (Brian wrote one more). So of course he'd got the biggest share.

Flash Gordon has more songs credited to Brian, but mostly they're reprises from Flash, so we shouldn't count them. Same for some Fred reprises as Seven Seas ... in Queen (I) and Seven Seas in Queen II.
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.
Can someone do a bar graph on this?
Freddie- 49
Brian-38
John- 10
Roger-5

I'm taking a guess here...

Brian: 40
Freddie: 39
Roger: 20
John: 9


I honestly have no clue. :-P...It's possible to tell the percentage...but in a more GENERALIZED statement... :D

I'll have to correct you on this...Roger wrote more songs than John. ;D
I see the level of debate has not improved since my last visit...

Alright...

Queen =
B-4
F-5
R-1

Queen II =
B-3
F-6
R-1

Sheer Heart Attack =

B-4
F-7 (Counting SCC as his)
R-1
J-1

Night at the Opera =

B-4
F-5
R-1
J-1

So far...

B-15 (34%)
F-23 (42%)
R-4 (9%)
J-2 (4.5%)

If anyone cares, they can continue, and John will go up in percent certainly in the 80's.

If something's off, please don't flame me !
B-15 (34%)
F-23 (42%)
R-4 (9%)
J-2 (4.5%)
