Roger Taylor

Roger Taylor is a proper name shared by two prominent British rock drummers: the Queen drummer (born 1949) who sang falsetto harmonies and wrote hits like "Radio Ga Ga," and the Duran Duran drummer (born 1960).

Context usually clarifies which one: Roger Taylor's drum solo on "I'm in Love with My Car" points to Queen; Roger Taylor left Duran Duran briefly in the late eighties to the other.
