I'm in Love with my Car has some of my favorite backing vocals

And some of the worst leading vox at the same time ;)

I definitely focus more on the backing vocals when listening to the song, but calling Taylor's voice on the song as "some of the worse" is kinda exaggerated imo

Oh I'd exaggerate even more if I wasn't a true gentleman.

Taylor's vocals is definitely not to my liking either, but I've listened to several worse vocalists tbh.

He sounds like a constipated, subpar Rod Stewart. Which only gets worse because his meaningless song is sandwiched between two lovely Freddie Mercury performances, for me.

dude but his high vox are pretty impressive



from what I've read, Taylor's singing is raspy because of a early smoking habit. I might (read: I'm most likely) be wrong.

Just being mean with my assessment of him because I never enjoyed his songs, singing, or flamboyance. I don't really consider him bad but I can't stand the dude, especially after having heard Mercury sing in the majority of songs.

However, Lemmy is the representation of pure rock n roll. However, even he has some lame performances on albums like Sacrifice and Snake Bite Love.



But it's not just the vocal performance. My problem with Taylor is mostly the songs on which he sings. They're not that good. For example, I prefer Seaside Rendezvous a million times over Taylor's song on here.

Roger is definitely the weakest link when it comes to songwriting, but when he gets it right, he really nails it.



Thinking of his backing vocals in some tracks (In The Lap of the Gods, Bo Rhap) makes me believe he could've been a solid vocalist for a metal group. Kind of a shame his backing vox weren't really utilized in the 80s/90s for the most part.

Roger's backing vocals are great, I can definitely agree with that. Sheer Heart Attack is also a brilliant song written by him.
