14. Which song gave Roger Taylor the biggest solo collaborative success for any member of Queen in the UK single chart?

Well the official answer to this was "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" by Jimmy Nail (which featured Roger on drums and producing). This got to number 3 and is indeed Roger's biggest collaborative success. However, the correct answer is "The Stonk" by Hale and Pace (which featured Brian on guitar and producing, and Roger on drums) which got to number 1.

Blue

16. Which Queen song can be heard in the lyrics to "The Fallen Priest"?
