Kiss have released a collection of 'Best of' CDs by member. 4 Cds which feature the 'best' songs which every member has contributet / performed for the band. I thought about this kind of collection
from Queen, and about my personal favorite songs from every member. The result was quite interesting, for me.
I realized that Brian did by far the most songs within the Queen catalogue that I like. It took my quite a while to decide which tracks to skip, and it was tough to leave songs like who wants to live forever,
too much love will kill you, white man, fat bottomed girls etc out.
An I think that John's contribution to the Queen catalogue is really exclellent. Although it is minor
in numbers, it makes a great collection with a very nice flow.
Freddie did some great tunes in the 70s, but after 1980 he somehow lost it to me.
And Roger...to my personal taste his contribution to what I love about Queen is the smallest.
