Queen Song Writer Analysis


This table summarises how many songs each member of the group has contributed to Queen albums over the years. The figures ignore retitled tracks (eg 'Blurred Vision' and 'A Dozen Red Roses For My Darling'), re-recordings, and also 'Queen Talks', 'Yeah' and 'Track 13', which don't really count as proper songs. Also, 'Seven Seas Of Rhye', 'It's A Beautiful Day' and 'Small' are all counted twice, while 'My Life Has Been Saved' is only counted once.
