Hands down, Freddie. Talent was grand amongst them all, but without Freddie's talent of persuasion, showmanship, songwriting and natural charisma, I don't believe Queen would have been all it could be... or all it was.
Natural talent: Freddie
Considering by accounts he didn't touch the piano unless he was writing, recording, or on stage.
Freestone says it wasn't uncommon for Fred to go a month or 2 and not touch the piano....however, if he was in a tiff or row, with a lover...look out...he'd be at the piano all night.
Freddie needed chaos to write his best work.
Learned skill: Brian
I think Brian is a players, player...always learning, and very patient.
Freddie was very frantic, no patience.... Brian would take the time to learn something just how he wanted it...with Freddie, it was probably either there, or it wasn't.
Rog and Deaky very talented too.
But really, without Freddie, and Brian....there absolutely could have been no Queen.
brian has a great voice, he plays awesome guitar, and he´s able to play piano and keyboards, plus he is an excelent writter

Queen wouldn't be Queen if it didn't have Fredie Brian Roger and John.
Freddie's voice, stage persona ideas and energy.
Brian's guitar, voice and ideas.
Roger's drumming, voice and ideas.
John's bass and also brill ideas.
As Brian said Queen is better than all of them.
xD
god Queen rock..:)

EXACTLY! Right on sister! Hehehe....
I agree 100% =D
THIS is SO rediculous to ask.....really....would you also ask : wich wheel is the best/most important on a formula 1 Ferrari? Or...wich leg is the most important from Zorro's horse? or runs faster? IT is NOT important. Queen as a whole were better than each member solo....because each member brought something that was dearly missed when not joining the others...the Brian May band, Roger Taylor's Cross, or even Queen + P.R. don't even come close to Queen with Freddie....Freddie died, and Queen died with him....no matter how great the show they pull off in the meantime nowadays...it is not half as good as the shows with Freddie on stage...and none of the songs from the other solo-acts is as good as any of the songs that Freddie wrote....i am very curious what the album with Paul Rodgers is going to be like now....i am adamant it won't even come close to even the worst (if there is one) Queen album with Freddie.

I like how a question about talent turned into an anti-anything without Freddie rant.
Hmmm... I have to say Freddie too...His voice is better than mccartney and Lennons, and he is a really good good good songwriter. though i dare say, that Brian doesent come far behind. He just didnt exactly reach to be a genious. (please forgive my horrible spelling)
