Al Stewart + Roger Taylor

Roads To Moscow 8:00
Written by Al Stewart
Appears on: Past, Present, & Future
Roger Taylor appeared playing percussion on two tracks from Al Stewart's 1973 Past, Present, & Future album. The only track to be positively identified of the two is Roads To Moscow. The tracks were recorded in 1972 at Trident Studios, where Queen was in the middle of recording their first album. The track itself is quite good, starting with wandering acoustic guitar. Stewart's voice is very folky, with an English slant. The track sounds very ominous and has some great harmony sections near the middle (sadly without Roger). The album was re-released in 1992 in both the US and UK.

Billy Squier + Roger Taylor

Emotions In Motion 5:00
Written by Billy Squier
Appears on: Emotions In Motion LP album

One of Billy Squier's best. The track itself is very bass and dance heavy, but still manages to keep somewhat of a rock feel. Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor provide backing vocals. Freddie's vocals are particularly recognizable in the background, while Roger singles the chorus with Billy. Recorded in January 1982, Munich, during the Hot Space sessions.

Camy Todorow + Roger Taylor

Bursting At The Seams 3:41

Written by Mark Ryder
Appears on: Bursting At The Seams 7" vinyl

Released in 1985. The track was recorded at Queen's Mountain Studios in Montreaux, produced by Roger Taylor and David Richards, and percussion provided also provided by Roger Taylor. Not a bad track, given the era it was released. Camy's vocals are fairly good and slightly raspy. Nothing too notable from Roger's drumming; he just provides a standard backing track.

Elton John + Roger Taylor

Too Young 5:10
Written by Bernie Taupin/Elton John
Appears on: Ice On Fire

An excellent track from Elton John's 1985 album, Ice On Fire, which is an often overlooked album. Roger Taylor provides drums, while fellow Queen member John Deacon plays bass guitar. The song has a slow tempo and is classic Elton John. Highly recommended.

Angeline 3:24
Written by Bernie Taupin/Elton John
Appears on: Leather Jackets

Both Roger Taylor and John Deacon appeared on this track, which appears on Elton's 1986 album, "Leather Jackets." Leather Jackets is widely considered to be a weaker album than his previous 80's releases. This track is nothing special in particular, especially compared to the rest of Elton's catalogue. Angeline is basically a light-hearted throwback 60's style dance rocker.


Eugene Wallace + Roger Taylor

Dangerous 3:13
Written by ?
Appears on: Dangerous
, UK Kind Woman Kind 7" vinyl
Along with the bands Headstone and Queen, Trident unsuccesfully attempted to sign Eugene Wallace as a package to record companies. Recorded in 1972 and released in 1975, the Dangerous album originated from Trident studios and was released by EMI. Roger plays drums on the title track. The track features accompanying horns and electric guitar and sounds a bit like Joe Cocker (mostly from Wallace's vocals). Not particularly interesting, but worth a listen.


Fergal Sharkey + Brian May

Loving You 4:16
Written by ?
Appears on: Loving You 7" vinyl

Roger appears on this 1985 single, providing additional drums, synth, and co-producing with David Ricards. Sharkey was the lead singer of the Undertones, a new wave band. The track is very light and airy, making quite a bit of use of the drums and synths provided by Roger. A bit repetitive and of it's time, but not all that bad.

Loving You (Extended Version) 5:52
Written by ?
Appears on: Loving You 12" vinyl

Not all that different from the 7" single version. The extended version has longer periods of synth and drums to fill the space. Nothing special and not really needing an extended version, considering there isn't much to the original.


Fox + Roger Taylor

Survival 4:17
Written by Armstrong/Young
Appears on: Tales Of Illusion

Recorded during the Night At The Opera Sessions at Sarm East, August 1975. Fox was an obscure classic rock band that seems to have only issued one album, Tales Of Illusion in 1975. Roger provides backing vocals (in harmony with the other members of Fox) on the track Survival. Survival has a light, atmospheric sound; somewhere between Beach Boys and psychedelic rock. There are times when you can pick Roger out, but his voice seems to blend well with the rest of the band.

Gary Numan + Roger Taylor

You Are, You Are 4:03
Written by Gary Numan
Appears on: Dance
Gary Numan, the one hit wonder who produced cars, wasn't able to duplicate previous success. The same goes for his 1981 album, Dance. This isn't one of Gary's better tracks and is slightly annoying. Roger plays drums on this track.

Crash 3:39
Written by Gary Numan
Appears on: Dance
Again, more of the same from Gary, which isn't necessarily a good or a bad thing. This (like most of his songs) sounds like "Cars". This track is so similar to Cars that it could almost be considered a sequel. Roger plays drums.

Moral 4:33
Written by Gary Numan
Appears on: Dance
Not a very bad track at all. Moral, not surprisingly, also has a very similar sound to "Cars". Moral has a heavy beat, lots of synths, and a very slow tempo that builds up speed at the end. Gary's vocals work very well for the track. Roger plays Tom Toms.

How Come You're So Dumb 2:41

Written by Taylor/Vance
Appears on: How Come you're So Dumb 7" vinyl

Recorded and produced 1979 at Mountain Studios, Montreux, during Queen Game Sessions. Released only on a UK 7" single. Roger plays drums, guitars, keyboards, bass, and produced this 1980 release. The backing instrumentation is actually quite good and reminiscent of other Roger tracks. The vocals by Hilary Hilary remind you of an 80s new wave performer. Not a bad track.

Rich Kid Blues 3:08
Written by Reid
Appears on: How Come you're So Dumb 7" vinyl

Recorded during the same session as How Come You're So Dumb, Rich Kid Blues is the B-side to the 7" single. Again, Roger produces and provides all instrumentation. The track starts out as a ballad, but quickly turns into an 80s synthesizer rocker.


Ian And Belinda + Roger Taylor

Who Wants To Live Forever 3:45

Quite a big UK hit for Jimmy Nail from 1985. Roger provides drums, synths, and co-produced the track with David Richards. Not a bad track, with a has a slow, deliberate tempo. Very atmospheric and slightly bluesy.

Kansas + Roger Taylor

Play The Game Tonight 3:27
Written by Ehart/Flower/Frazier/Livgren/Williams
Appears on: Vinyl Confessions, UK/US Play The Game Tonight 7" vinyl

A great Kansas track. The track starts out very slow, almost as a ballad, and then turns into more of a rocker. From there the song alternates back and forth from ballad into the rocking chorus. Roger provides backing vocals. Recorded in Los Angelas, California in August 1982, during a short break before the L.A. shows of the US tour.

Right Away 4:07
Written by Elefante/Elefante
Appears on: Vinyl Confessions, US Right Away 7" vinyl

A classic Kansas track that was a hit in America, and is still in heavy rotation on US Classic Rock radio. A fantastic rocking track. Recorded in Los Angelas, California in August 1982, during a short break before the L.A. shows of the US tour. Roger provides backing vocals.

Diamonds And Pearls 4:50
Written by Livgren
Appears on: Vinyl Confessions

A very different track from the other songs from this album. The track features heavy use of horns and piano and does not have the rock edge that is a constant throughout the album. Recorded in Los Angelas, California in August 1982, during a short break before the L.A. shows of the US tour. Roger provides backing vocals.

Magnum + Roger Taylor

Sometime Love 4:19
Written by Clarkin
Appears on: Vigilante

Magnum were a 70s progressive rock band that are barely known outside of the UK (and barely known inside the UK at that). Roger sings backing vocals on two tracks from their 1986 album, Vigilante (which he produced with David Richards). Sometime Love is a fairly typical 80s rock track, with synth, heavy drums, and guitar. Roger's backing vocals are in harmony with other band mates, but can be heard at the high end.

When The World Comes Down On You 5:22
Written by Clarkin
Appears on: Vigilante

Again, sounding like a typical 80s rock power ballad with synthesizer and dramatic drums. Nothing remarkable. Roger provides backing vocals.

Written by Mel Smith
Appears on: Mel Smith's Greatest Hits 7" vinyl

Instrumentation, backing vocals, and production done by Roger. You can actually hear Roger's backing vocals fairly clearly. Another comedy track with some harmonica and electric guitar. It is what it is. I imagine if you like Mel Smith you'll like this, otherwise, skip it.

Richard & Joey 2:26

Written by Mel Smith
Appears on: Mel Smith's Greatest Hits 7" vinyl

A 1981comedy track by UK Comedian Mel Smith in which Roger provides all instrumentation, sings backing vocals, and produces. The track starts spoken word with some piano and goes into some over the top vocals by Mel. Not particularly funny or good.

Roger Daltrey + Roger Taylor

Under A Raging Moon 6:42
Written by Downes/Parr
Appears on: Under A Raging Moon, UK Under A Raging Moon 7" vinyl

From Daltrey's 1986 album, which served as an ode to former Who drummer Keith Moon. Many all-star drummers appeared on the album (including Cozy Powell of Brian May Band fame). Under A Raging Moon was released before the album, as a single in 1985. The track starts off with some synthesizer effects that are very similar to "We Won't Get Fooled Again." Overall, the track sounds very 80s rock and very Who all the same. Roger's drumming is excellent; he even manages to squeeze a few solo drumming bits in here and there.

Under A Raging Moon (US Single Edit)
Written by Downes/Parr
Appears on: US Under A Raging Moon 7" vinyl

There is a US edit of this track from the US 7" single. It is possible that it is the same version that appears on the Roger Daltrey Anthology CD collection. The time of that track is 4:31. Anyone with information, please contact me.

A traditional Irish folk song, typically featuring a pan flute and fiddle. This version with The Corrs and Roger Taylor is a bit more rock-friendly. A very good instrumental.
