During an interview in 1984, Roger Taylor affirmed that "it was really ]" who turned the band towards a more disco sound. Elaborating, he said: "John’s always been R&B orientated, our bass player who wrote “Another One Bites The Dust”, [...] which turned out to be the biggest selling record of the year. And I think that was the song that catapulted us into taking that road. I think we went too far and did too much. [...] Everybody in the band feels that way now."
