Queen’s Roger Taylor celebrates his birthday today (July 26), and while he’ll forever be known for being the drummer in one of the greatest bands of all time, we’d like to focus on some of his solo work.  

In honor of Taylor’s birthday, here’s a playlist of some performances outside of Queen (and a really cool duet with Jeff Beck.)
