The Profile

Roger Taylor is the drummer of Queen, a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who has released several solo albums and led the side project The Cross.

Roger Taylor is best known as Queen's drummer and a songwriter for that band (reviews cite songs such as "Radio Ga Ga", "Drowse", "Breakthru" and "Heaven For Everyone"). He has a solo career with albums reviewed on DeBaser (including Fun In Space, Happiness? and Strange Frontier), formed the side project The Cross, sings lead on many solo tracks and plays multiple traditional rock instruments. Reviews note his experimentation with electronic and space-rock sounds and occasional political lyrics (e.g., "Nazis 1994").

DeBaser reviews portray Roger Taylor as an eclectic, multi-instrumentalist songwriter and vocalist best known as Queen's drummer. His solo records mix rock, electronic and space-rock touches and vary in consistency. Critics praise his experimentation, voice and songwriting while noting uneven tracks. Several reviews highlight Happiness?, Fun In Space and Strange Frontier as significant solo efforts.
