[@stephenlisson1994]

We always talk about Freddie, Brian and Roger, when we mention the band Queen and rightly so. However John's bass.....what can I say. BRILLIANT!!!!! ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!

[@dsanket9273]

For real...

[@crystalhwang9568]

That's right!

[@waynememorial3746]

Freddy = clearly was THE DRAMA QUEEN - And LOVED TO BE PUBLIC ! + John = was the "normal Guy" who looked like he would prefer drinkin beer & playin darts in a pub instead performing bass on stage. - Roger = Was THE BAD ASS PUNK - and seemed to be happier playin drums for The Who or the Stones or AC / DC ! + And BRIAN = Always looked like he thinked : Why don't let those three stupids not let Me & my "Red Lady" make all the Music Alone ! - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- But , YES STEPHEN ! = Roger mostly was THE ONLY ONE who played "Straight 4 / 4 in time" - and the other three were SWINGING AROUND HIM ! - He was = more Drummer than bass player ! ***

[@soledadhernandez8538]

Yes!!! John deacon was so underrated,it’s upsetting that much people didn’t pay much attention to him before he left queen, I wish people gave him the same attention they gave the other members.

[@verena9911]

thats why i love roger... HAVE U EVER SEEN A DRUMMER WHO'S HOTTER THAN THE SUN WHO CAN SING LIKE THIS? i think not

[@laurenceellis8311]

The first three albums, monumental....

[@johncodee9175]

Well said there, Laurence! 👍 The first 3 albums had to live in the shadow of 'A Night at the Opera' and in my opinion were just as good, especially 'Sheer Heart Attack'!

[@lunacxx1330]

Laurence Ellis I agree

[@johncodee9175]

@@lunacxx1330 , they're classics and my personal favourite 3 albums from the band! From 'A Night at the Opera' onwards they got too poppy and the albums sounded weaker. I DO like some of their later stuff but only on 'The Miracle' and 'Innuendo', as that was like a return to their heavy guitar orientated origins.

[@lunacxx1330]

JohnCodeE yes! You are just like me! The Miracle is my favvvvv

[@johncodee9175]

@@lunacxx1330 That is so lovely to know you like that album; the more people like it the better! The Miracle is their best 80's album! Was about about 10/11 years old when that was first released and can remember seeing the catchy album cover in all the shops on LP, cassette, and CD. It has a special place in my heart that album! ☺

Holy shit this is heavy af for 1973.

It was written in 1971 bro 🤘🤘

[@ForgottenHorrorchannel]

@jackomo tunti neither does yours. how the song is played has nothing to do with the date it was written.

[@ForgottenHorrorchannel]

@jackomo tunti Actually it was Roger who written the song!! .Get your facts right 1st before giving me some personal opinons that has NOTHING to do with my reply. ... and I simply corrected the lad who said it was 73 in fact the song was written in 71 as most songs from first the Queen album was. What you are blabbing about is irrelevant and plus I don't care to hear what you think.

[@joaquinlezcano2372]

@Josh Tyler true, with guys like Black Sabbath and Budgie around, is understandable

And all of them are precious

[@l_rgn.02]

Roger was born to be a rock legend

[@GermanLeftist]

Every modern rock artist should listen to this song, not only to the lyrics but also to the music, to get a feeling for real hard rock, ah, what am I saying, real heavy metal! This is NWBHM prior the the NWBHM.

[@dopam1n3rva60]

OWBHM.

[@natebham]

1.25 speed is perfect

[@javierfermani3606]

One of Roger´s best contributions, along with Innuendo, Tenement Funster, Heaven For Everyone...So many pieces of art

[@dreamlifeds4412]

and . . . I'm in Love with my Car

[@toniearl3497]

And Sheer Heart Attack...although I know it's not everyone's cup of tea...I always loved it...for 40 years now.

[@luvittodeath7031]

Toni Earl Sheer Heart Attack is great. Love how it’s almost punk

[@Keston1302]

And Rock It(Prime Jive) and A Kind of Magic

[@beckysberries4441]

Some of my favorites from Roger are Radio GaGa and Drowse

[@frederickvonfinkelstein8729]

This song is so far ahead of its time. There are echoes of thrash and speed metal - genres which were still a good 10 years off and Taylor had them figured out in the early 70's. Even the lyrics are prophetic! Modern Times Rock and Roll is as good as any of their "big hits" and for the rock/metal enthusiast, this should make your top 50 easy.

[@tonyclayton6975]

Sounds a bit like Rock and Roll by Led Zeppelin to me, which was 2 years before. Good though.

[@greghansell5115]

Roger's songs always seem to be underrated. I really like most of his stuff - this song, Drowse, Tenement Funster, I'm In love with my car, etc. etc.

[@javierpineiro6675]

Don't agree

[@pouirritado9443]

Drowse is so nostalgic

[@adamborokowski3658]

Best bit is the scream at 1:07 - They were obviously having fun

[@aresfelipe4656]

New Wave Of British Heavy Metal! ! Classic Proto Heavy Song!!

[@marguskiis7711]

I always wonder how Taylor could not manage to pursue a great solo career.

[@leighburne4098]

He's had five solo albums and three with The Cross, so he hasn't done too bad outside of Queen.

[@marguskiis7711]

Yep, the most profilic Queen member as solo artist and has sold his solo albums more than others.

[@giegiebee1959]

In interviews they say that the arguing inside the band made every song perfect and gave them the right boost to write different songs. They were equal members so quite free to experiment. I also heard that freddie took ages to finish his first solo project because he didn't like to work on his own and found it boring and called roger to do some backing vocals. I think they all gave their best when they were together and they knew it very well.

[@Mercury-mw5xb]

Roger Taylor does have some kick-n-ass solo masterpieces. ✔️ Out fun in space. (It's his first solo endeavor)

[@Mercury-mw5xb]

[@MRV1985MRV]

This was 1973: long before Motörhead, long before iconic heavy metal bands like Judas Priest were, in fact, really heavy. Queen's first three albums have almost more riffs than any heavy metal band of the era. An when live, the thing was even heavier!

Put the 10 album tracks Rog wrote and sang for Queen in the 70's together as a playlist & you have the greatest rock n roll album for youth there never was. Try it, then stick it in your car. It'll blow your mind. The guy is a true rock n roll legend with one of THE GREATEST rock vocals of all time & in my view made the best solo albums of any member of any of the world's super groups. As a complete body of work his career output is second to none - check the dude out - Strange Frontier or Electric Fire both brilliant albums to start discovering the real gems in his canon.

[@ProfDanielVargas]

1. Modern Times Rock 'n' Roll 2. The Loser In The End 3. Tenement Funster (Abridged european single version) 4. I'm In Love With My Car (Queen Rocks mix / Greatest Hits mix) 5. Calling All Girls (I know 'Calling All Girls' is not a 70's song and neither is it sung by Roger but it is a Roger composition and in my head I'm In Love With My Car and Calling All Girls go together) 6. Fun It 8. Fight From The Inside 9. Sheer Heart Attack 10. Stone Cold Crazy (It was co-written by Roger) 11. Coming Soon 12. Rock It (Prime Jive) 13. Drowse 14. Interlude In Constantinople 15. Airheads 16. More Of That Jazz (Sadly there aren't really any more Roger's 70's songs but ten but for me this would be a better playlist...)

[@ProfDanielVargas]
