A hundred of these threads exist already, but i give you credit for the word "prefer" instead of "the Best" like it's a fact one is better than the other. My honest opinion is that I lean towards the lead singer in my favorite bands. Queen, Priest, early maiden. So naturally Freddie solo I prefer, but I could understand if someone hates his solo stuff with it's lack of rock....... Barcelona remains one of my favorite albums of all time. while Mr. Bad Guy is a weak album it does have some moments like the title track, love me like there's no tomorrow, living on my own and man made paradise. On top of that the great pretender is a great cover tune and in my defense is awsome. I find myself going back to those recordings a lot, while i rarely if ever listen to brian and roger's albums any more.

I Listen to "Fun In Space" more than any other solo album, although "Barcelona" comes a close second.

Roger's, definitely. I actually think that, on average, the songs on his solo-albums are better-crafted than the ones he wrote for Queen.

Add me to the Roger camp as well. Lately, I actually listen to his albums much more frequently than Queen's.

I have a fondness for Freddie's solo works.
I always knew I was a star And now, the rest of the world seems to agree with me-Freddie Mercury |

"the Biggles"... There's no turning back... (just for sheer oddity and rarity) I still play Fun In Space, Electric Fire and Strange Frontier... though most queen music can be culled from memory on just the thought of it. These days i kinda lean toward Another World more than Back to the Light... despite it having Love Token and Last Horizon. I Brian touched on some different vibes with that one. Everybody else hit the nail on the head with Mr Bad Guy... the good tracks. BUT(!)... Barcelona reigns as a crowning masterpiece and achievement. it's of its own kind

Barcelona, Back To The Light and Fun In Space. Equally good IMHO.

The only solo album I have on constant rotation is Fun in Space. I listen to it at least once every couple of months or so. That has to be my favorite. Barcelona is great but I rarely listen to it. Like Queen II, I guess.

I only heard a few fun in space songs.....It seems to get praise here on queenzone...I guess I'll give it a listen. The roger albums i have Are happiness, which i consider weak. A few nice moments, and the much better electric fire, which i rarely if ever listen to. I find his stuff awfully boring. one song i heard on youtube of his solo was pretty embarrassing. I forget the name of it, it was a dance song. I think he was playing the guitar.

Brians, without any doubt! back to the light, resurrection, and some other tracks never lost the magic they had to me when I first bought BTTL back in 92.

I will go with Freddie's solo works Love all the Mr Bad Guy album and some of the Barcelona album Barcelona is a fantastic song How can i go on very emotional song seeing as it probably related to what Freddie was going through at the time and I love the Golden Boy

Roger. Especially Fun In Space is great, seeing he plays almost everything himself, which makes it literally a solo album.

Queen II is the Queen album I play the most. I just can't get enough of it and I really do hope they 5.1 it sometime SOON...
