Action This Day. Even better live.

It has to be Drowse of course!
Besides the usual candidates, I simply love the Fun in Space album. As for later solo songs, I like Touch the Sky and Nation of Haircuts. Surrender is a top song, too.
INNUENDO
1. Radio Ga Ga
2. Sheer Heart Attack
3. A Kind Of Magic
4. I'm In Love With My Car
Tenement Funster, Loser In The End and Modern Times Rock N Roll aren't bad at all either. It's just they have more limited appeal than any of the others' songs. Mind you, you could say that songs like March of the Black Queen has limited appeal. I love it but all non-Queen fans and semi-Queen fans I know go 'WTF?' at that song, they having only had access to 'Greatest Hits'.
Oh I also love TATDOOL of course. And Old Friends. And Innuendo, I don't care what y'all say. I know Roger wasn't responsible for the whole song, but there was some input as far as lyrics are concerned. Quite a lot I'm guessing as the lyrics are very Roger-ish...I might say One Vision too.

Roger has to be my favourite for some reason I love most of his ones. These are my favourites:
Modern Time Rock n Roll
Loser in the End
I'm in love with my car
Radio Ga Ga
A Kind of Magic
Breakthru
Invisible Man (I swear he wrote this one, sorry if I'm wrong)
These are the days of our lives
I read someone said Innuendo I never knew he wrote that until then but I really love that song one of my favourites.

its hard to pick one outright but heaven for everyone would be there or there abouts along with ride the wild wind,but i do have a fondness for hijack my heart
Much like with Brian, the songs Roger sang were much better than the songs he wrote that he didn't sing in my opinion. Sheer Heart Attack and Action This Day are the two biggest exceptions.
Though songs like Tenement Funster and Loser In The End have never really been my favorites, other songs he sang like Modern Times Rock 'n' Roll and Drowse I never really get tired of. And, like I said before, Action This Day is one of my favorites on Hot Space and one of the best Queen songs. Fun It is very catchy, and Fight From The Inside is great as well. I'd have to say his worst composition would be More Of That Jazz.
I guess overall his best composition is Breakthru (which I forgot to mention earlier is another one of the best Freddie-sung Roger compositions).

DROWSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Drowse, More Of That Jazz, Believe In Yourself, Beautiful Dreams, Man On Fire...
I could go on and on....

Sorry random but I think roger sounds hot in I'm in love with my car. I'd say it is a well written song. I personally don't like Radio GaGa (please don't hang me for that but I just don't)
I like sheear heart attack and a kind of magic. I also like I'm in love with my car and calling all girls.
Future Management, Foreign Sand, New dark Ages, Final Destination, Man On Fire.
From Queen: These are The Days, Drowse, Radio GaGa, A Kind Of Magic, Heaven For Everyone ,BreakThru and Thank God It's Christmas

[/QUOTE]That may have been me. I say that because although the song was credited to Queen, I read somewhere that Roger was responsible for at least some of the lyrics of Innuendo. However some people on here object strongly and even get slightly annoyed when Innuendo is discussed as a 'Roger Taylor penned composition' but, as I say the lyrics have a definite Roger feel to them. He surely had some input although the music is almost definitely Freddie.
I forgot about 'Heaven for Everyone', Jeez how could I forget that little gem.

Innuendo is about as much Roger's as BoRhap and March of the Black Queen.
Besides the fact that Phobe, Hutton, and M. Austin all remember Freddie writing Innuendo.... lets use common since...How many other 6+ minute epic songs did Roggie have in Queen before Innuendo?
What about Freddie??
And let's quote Steve Howe from GFTPM 1993 "Working with Queen was a true pleasure, they are all consumate professionals. I was really suprised by Freddie, as he had this reputation of being a frantic songwriter of doing it on the spot, my experience was quite the contrary, on Innuendo he knew exactly what he wanted played and where, I just had to transpose on guitar what he had already written on piano, and Brian of course is in a lead of his own, it was a great time working that closely with him."
Anyway.... Roger's best for me:
I still can't understand why noone likes "Loser in the End"
I'm in Love with my car
Drowse
Action this Day (live especially)
Breakthru (but I like Freddie's intro alot)
Ga Ga (Roger himself will tell you that it should have been a co-write with Fred, as he took over the song)
One Vision- Brian has said lyrics are mainly Roger with some Fred input....the riff is Brian's.
