Not sure what that has to do with anything, "You're my best friend" was released 21 years before Deacon retired.

  It contradicts that he didn't have a say in the creative direction. That may not have been true at the time the gp indicates though.

    It doesn't contridict that Deacon didn't have a say in the creative direction: having written one song that was popular is not the same as having influence on much of the band's output. I don't know enough about Queen's history to say that Deacon did or did not have creative influence, but citing one song isn't support.

    John Deacon did write songs, so he was not completely out of the loop. But just look at their discography: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_discography http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_discography John Deacon had a very small part in their total creative output, and so, his contributions to their creative development wasn't comparable to that of the other members.
