Ah, two great bands. But Beatles gets it for being more original.

I do not like the Beatles. I have their greatest hits from 67 to 70, but I can't stand it, whereas I actually can listen to Queen and hum along.

Queen! The Beatles were morons right before the end, anyway. Queen should win for Bohemian Rhapsody alone, dammit!

Ok, I'm going to be honest here. Personally, I don't care much for the Beatles but I fucking LOVE Queen.

However, I had to vote for The Beatles because of what they did for music and rock and roll itself. I'm trying to be as unbiased as I can here.

But again, Queen fucking owns my soul.

Great match-up, by the way.

Queen was ridiculously theatrical glam rock. Pretty much the epitome of 'style over substance' in their day not to mention a precursor to some of the most atrocious music in history(glam/hair metal). The Beatles were just some britpop trash before they discovered LSD... but once they started dropping acid regularly (and explaining to everyone that "All You Need is Love"), those charming young men made some of the most brilliant pieces of modern music ever. John Lennon was one hell of a human being with a wonderful head on his shoulders, too.

The fab four get my vote.

Hmm.... why can't I vote?

The Beatles revolutionised music, whilst Queen revolutionised performances. However, The Fab four would just edge it out for me. What a titanic battle!

You have to be logged in to be able to vote.
If you are logged in, I have no idea what the problem might be.

well, personally i think it's silly to be comparing The Beatles and Queen. I like both of them a lot.. but they're just too different to compare.

on one hand The Beatles set the foundation for any work that Queen would ever do. on the other, Mr. Mecury was an amazing vocalist, his voice can still give me chills no matter how many times i'll here his songs.

In short, my vote is for none. Well, actually both, because you can't realistically compare the two. and that's a fact.

I'm voting Queen for the sole reason that nothing beats riding with the guys singing along with Bohemian Rhapsody.

I voted for Queen because I like their kind of Rock more than Beatles kind of rock.

They also have some great songs like "We will rock you" and "We
