In what way? |

Yeah, in what way? Well, possibly the Beatles...? |

Anyone Musically? No. Attractiveness? No. Anything? NO! |
| Poo, again 08.04.2006 11:59 |
What about Paul McCartney? And the rest of the Beatles? I guess not. |

I think Rush is better. Musically and lyrically. Besides Rush hasnt let me down while Queen has let me down a few times. |

For me, no one is better then Queen... In ANYTHING! |
| Leonardo Venegas 08.04.2006 12:57 |
I like Rush very much, but I don't think that Rush hasnt let you down when they released a cover album. When you start doing this is only because your creativeness has gone away so that should be a dissapointing moment for you and for any band fan, I guess! I'm almost sure that Queen'd have never done a cover album. From 1971 to 1991 Queen was the Ultimate Band! From this era they were the BEST! |
| Oszmercury 08.04.2006 13:15 |
Pink Floyd Zeppelin Beatles and even the Who |

Better than Queen? Ehhm..... hard to say. But there are some that I do find as good as them. Like David Bowie and..... and... ok just Bowie. :) |
| bitesthedust 08.04.2006 13:54 |
my 3 other favourite bands are Foo Fighters, The Darkness & Metallica but they don't come close to Queen... |

Well the reason I'm such a fan of Queen is that they've appealed to me more than any other band (Yeah, including the Beatles- I like them, but not as much). So overall, for their music, charisma, attitude, and style, Quen's my personal "best in the book." |
| Just You and Me 08.04.2006 14:31 |
I kind of agree with Barry there. I don't listen to queen sometimes. But, when i think about it, queen is always the band I consider to have done the best, been the most creative...So I always go back. And even when I'm not listening, I still consider them the best. |

well..not BETTER actually - but equal perhaps: madonna pink floyd this is music, that means a lot to me. i don't speak for others, this is just my opinion! |

I'd have to say the Beatles. Sure Queen are the BEST!!!11!!1 band ever, but the Beatles do seem to...Exceed above them..Like Brian said..Nobody beats the Beatles. |
| Bono Mercury 08.04.2006 16:17 |
Dont know too be honest i think Queen and U2 are the best ever |
| SomebodyWhoLoves 08.04.2006 16:30 |
Beatles are so overrated. Their songs are so simplistic and now, totally irrelevant. Please do not even mention Queen and Beatles in the same breath! Queen is many times better than Beatles. There is NO BAND OR SINGER that comes close to Queen. This is not an opinion. This is FACT. |

Queen is THE GREATEST.BUT I would say lyrically in a way, Pink Floyd |
| deleted user 08.04.2006 18:42 |
I like a lot of bands and different artists, but i always go back to Queen. i love Queen far more than any other band/artist. xD come back come back to meeeeeeeee :D |
| deleted user 08.04.2006 18:54 |
I just have to say... I don't think anyone can honestly say who's "Better" as in, a real definition. It's all taste. I've heard Queen compared to Led Zepplin (I like them, too) a lot, but the only time I was listening to Queen and thought it sounded like Zepplin was during the song "Get Down, Make Love" - during the whole orgasmically spacey part. Bands shouldn't sound like each other, and that's good. My one thing that brings a band down, is when all their songs sound the SAME. I like Foreigner and AC/DC, but a ton of their songs sound the same and I couldn't listen to a whole album without going mad! Thinking about this, I see that a LOT of bands have their "sound". What Queen has is DIVERSITY. In my own opinion, that counts for a lot. Not only did every member of the band write songs, but each person's songs varied. "'39" is much different from "Tie Your Mother Down" is much different from "Who Want to Live Forever". Not every band could do that, or wanted to. I can't, at the moment, reacall a band with such internal diversity... by that convoluted language, I mean - not some cover band that covers Metallica and also Britney Spears. Plus, I just happen to like strange little ditties, and Queen had plenty of them. |

Sometimes I go off listening to Queen, for years I liked Queen but from time to time I don't listen to them at all. I think that the fact is I heard them thousands of times before. Usually after a length of time I will always go back and listen to them all again. Queen will always remain my best band ever. barry, could not put what you wrote better , top notch , excactly this , |
| Carol! the Musical 08.04.2006 20:03 |
No one beats Queen!! But of course, some tie up with them. Such would be The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and you guessed it- Billy Joel. |
| The prophet's song 08.04.2006 23:06 |
No. Some come ever-so-close, but none are better. I don't mean to offend anyone here, but I totally disagree with people thinking the Beatles are better, I mean, yellow submarine over bohemian rhapsody, I don't jolly well think so. |

musically... none. There may be some bands with more complex harmonies... some bands that could play better, but no one can get a better "final sound" as Queen did. That's where you hear how much effort and work they put in the songs. And Queen is one of the most creative bands... Lyrically? A lot maybe... But I don't really care about it. You hear the music, then you read the lyrics... and no one has a better sound than Queen, so I don't care if any other band writes a bible. Is it so hard to understand that Queen kicks 99,9% band's asses??? |
| magicalfreddiemercury 09.04.2006 12:20 |
Beatles? Goo-goo-ga-joob. Huh? I own more Queen albums than any other, so, no, I don't think there is anyone better than Queen. There are other great groups that I've enjoyed over the years (yes, Beatles included), but I have only one or two albums of theirs - mainly Greatest Hits albums, in fact. With Queen, almost every album can be considered a 'greatest hit' collection. IMO. |
| M a t i a s M a y 09.04.2006 13:04 |
The Beatles are awesome, marvellous and everything you could imagine, THEY ARE. But I must say again that Queen had a better final sound (I'm not talking about the studio in which they recorded their albums but all the work they put into them). Queen members were "better" playing their instrumentos (that doesn't mean that The Beatles were bad). Freddie was a better singer than John, Paul or George (Altough Paul is a GREAT singer). Queen had more clever and complex harmonies. What I try to say is that Queen showed that they can do something really complex if they want to; I really hate those bands that always write songs with complex harmonies just because people thinks that the more complex, the better. And Queen always put complex harmonies WHERE THEY MUST GO. So that's why I said clever, because they're in the right places and not over the whole song. Queen had GREAT, GREAT, GREAT arrangements, made by themselves. Almost all bands with good arrangements call an arranger to do that... (KayaK never called anyone and their records have a lot of the best arrangements I've ever heard, that's why I love them) That's why I think that Queen is better than the Fab Four. Anyway, the Beatles are just amazing, and they're not overrated. They're the only band that is loved as it must be. Their songs are not just 4 chords... you can find some amazing stuff from revolver to abbey road. They were the more original and creative band in history. |
