I was listening to No-One But You last night on my headphones and I found myself thinking that Roger's vocals on this track were just superb. This gave me an idea for the above topic, although I wouldn't be surprised if this was discussed here before. Anyways, what I'm interested in is what is your favourite vocal performance by Freddie, Brian and Roger on a Queen album (just studio albums - no live ones, no solo projects, just Queen)? Obviously, John didn't sing so you can provide your favorite example of his bass work, if you like.
Cheers
PS. I wouldn't mind if you suggested only one song per member, just so that it's transparent. I mean, it's up to you, but obviously Fred sang a few more tunes than the rest of them (combined), so this could give him a certain advantage. If we decide on only one song then perhaps we can choose the best vocal performance on an album, by any member. Just an idea.
I love Freddie's voice on many songs in ADATR: You Take My Breath Away, The Millionaire Waltz, You And I .... although I also like his raspy voice in the 80's, AKOM album specially (Princes and Gimme The Prize) and The Miracle album too.
Brian: Sail Away Sweet Sister .... and Good Company too !
Roger: he's the man to me :) ... Drowse, I'm In Love With My Car, Fight From The Inside, More Of That Jazz ... even Let Me Live.
Too many great moments from freddie, I'll leave him out.
Brian- 39, His soft weak voice works perfectly for this song
roger- Tenament funster shows rogers voice as a solid rock singer, but He sounds good on most of the rockers he sings.
Freddie - too many to mention and I can't stick at one, so: Save Me/ Play The Game/ Too Much Love Will Kill You/ Heaven For Everyone/ Innuendo/ Show Must Go On/ Days Of Our Lives
Brian - '39 as lead, Show Must Go On for backing
Roger - Rock It as lead, Let Me Live/ No-One But You for backing

That would probably be my pick as well, it's certainly one of the greatest ever vocal tracks from any artist; but if we include songs in which the three all sing, just not at the same time, then three other contenders are IMO Keep Yourself Alive (god, I love Brian's line :D), Bo Rhap (of course!) and Let Me Live, which IMO remains among Queen's most underrated songs.
Roger- His part in Let Me Live
Freddie- this one nearly impossible to do but off the top of my head I'm gonna go with Who Wants to Live Forever
Brian- '39
Think Roger's part in Let Me Live is fantastic
Johns bass in Under Pressure and AOBTD
Freddie I really like IWTBF but my favorite by him is killer queen i love the range he has
Brian i like his beginning bit of WWTLF cant really think of any others that i really like to mention
My favorites
Freddie - Save Me
Roger - I'm In Love With My Car
Brian - Leaving Home Ain't Easy
John- Does anyone recall him screaming "wo wo la la" live?
