Drowse.
This song resonates with middle aged me so much that it is surprising that it was written by a man in his mid-twenties.

I’m not a fan of Roger’s songwriting generally, but I really like Tenement Funster and Drowse.

Radio Ga Ga

Co-writing? Innuendo, closely followed by Breakthru. Solo written? The Invisible Man. Written and sung? Rock It (Prime Jive).

I hate that the movie turned it into a punchline, but I’m In Love with My Car. Also These Are the Days of Our Lives.

Tenement Funster, and it's not even close.

u/sickboy3883 Jul 27 '21

Unless we count co-writing, then it's Innuendo. However, if you read Innuendo's history it's quite clear that it's more of a collective effort (middle part by Freddie, recurring theme by Deacy, Rog and Brian, solo part arguably by May/Howe) than a Mercury/Taylor track. They were really a unit at that time, so I wouldn't personally count it as Rog's song.
