Solo


ROGER TAYLOR

He first released a single by the title "I Wanna Testify", in 1977

His first solo album was "Fun In Space" released in May 1981
The album was recorded in between legs of Queen's tours for The Game and Flash Gordon albums. Taylor wrote, produced, sang and performed all of the songs himself. While the album did fairly in the UK, it done poorly upon its US release.
The albums cred
its state "P.P.S. 157 synthesizers", a joke referring to Queen's usual statement of "No synthesisers".
"Future Management" was issued as a single in Europe while "Let's Get Crazy" was released in the US.
The album was re-released as a digitally remastered CD in 1996.
The 'alien' writing on the magazine on the front cover consists mainly of upside down Hebrew scripture. The actual words are meaningless.

Strange Frontier is his second album. This album includes two covers as well as a heavier sound than the previous album. Although Roger again played most of the instruments himself (drums, guitars, bass and keyboards) and did most of the vocals, there were some occasional cameos by producer David Richards (on synths and piano), Status Quo member Rick Parfitt (on rhythm guitar) and Queen's John Deacon (on bass and mixing), Brian May (rhythm guitar on "Man on Fire") and Freddie Mercury (additional keyboards, and it is rumoured Mercury did backing vocals on "Killing Time", although this is speculative). The US edition has the track order rearranged.
Multiple musical elements from the song "I Cry for You (Love, Hope and Confusion)" (the drum machine, harmonies, chord progressions and overall arrangement) would be reused for the Queen hit song "Radio Ga Ga", released later the same year. 
Released on June 1984.

Happiness? is his third album. It was his first album since Queen's 1991 album Innuendo, and his first solo album since 1984's Strange Frontier
Released in 1994

Electric Fire is his fourth solo album. It features a cover of John Lennon's song "Working Class Hero".
Released in 1998


The Unblinking Eye (Everything Is Broken) is the upcoming fifth studio album , due to be released in 2012. It was recorded in late 2008 and throughout 2009, after the conclusion of Queen + Paul Rodgers' Rock the Cosmos Tour, and was continued after the collaboration ended. It's the first album he has worked on since 2008's The Cosmos Rocks with Queen + Paul Rodgers, and his first solo album since 1998's Electric Fire.
Roger began recording his new studio album in late 2008, a few months before the breakup of Queen + Paul Rodgers. News was first published regarding the new album on Queen's website on 17 November 2009. Regarding the release of the album's lead single, Roger said:
"What happened to the protest song? Music is now so polished, shiny and predictable, we have forgotten to try and say something with it. I am getting old and like everyone, have the right to say something about the "state of control" we live under - powerless to do anything about it. In case you hadn't noticed. The high street is full of holes. We are fighting a pointless actively negative war which is killing our young soldiers and which we simply cannot afford. This war promotes and prolongs terrorism. This is our Vietnam. Unwinnable. Pointless. We are taxed and retaxed while the nation is not only broke but utterly bankrupt, being propped up with tax payers' money and money which is simply printed. We are spied upon by 5 million cameras. We have thousands of petty rules and regulations more than ever before – no wonder people are bewildered and confused. As a nation we own almost nothing including water, electricity, gas, airspace and major manufacturers. Personal privacy is non-existent. We are directionless. I'm pissed off – you should be too.
Roger confirmed in an interview in 2011 that The Unblinking Eye (Everything Is Broken) will be released in 2012. The album did not appear in 2012, and Taylor later announced that it would see release in 2013, with the fans choosing which songs will appear on the album in late 2012.
