What's the best song Roger ever wrote???? In my opinion it's Sheer Heart Attack. It still blows me away. Radio Ga Ga is also one of my favourite Queen tracks. Don't forget Tenement Funster either.

roger is probably my least fav songwriter in queen, but he has a fair share of gems. My favorites in the 70's are tenament funster and sheer heart attack, maybe I'm in love with my car. I should say Modern times rock and roll is not bad either. I also think roger went about 7 years between 1978 (jazz) to 1984 (the works) without writing a good song and then finally nailed one with the overated but still good "radio Ga Ga." The song "a kind of magic" continued his Songwriting comeback. "Breakthru" and "these are the days of our lives/heaven for everyone" cemented rogers legacy as a fine songwriter. Never been a fan Of "the invisible man" loved the video, but the song doesn't work for me.
In the 70's I'd have to say either Tenement Funster or Sheer Heart Attack.
In the 80's definately Breakthru or Radio Gaga.
90's would be These Are The Days of Our Lives for sure.

That would be impossible to say. Your phrasing implies objective truth, which there can never be in art. Thus, it is simply in the ear of the beholder.

that's a pretty good summary - i agree mate...but i would add One Vision to the good list...and of his solo stuff Old Friends stands out well with anything queen did in later years

Hahah, no one's talking about "Man on Fire" yet?
What a video!

Ride The Wil Wind is way underrated IMO. I also like More of That Jazz, Drowse and Machines, though many fans seem to ignore them. Roger wrote (& co-wrote) many good songs. Hard to pick just one...
Outside Queen, my favourites are: Pressure On, Where Are You Now?, Dear Mr. Murdoch, Celebration, New Dark Ages and Final Destination.
