AnEggplant Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) Two prog/prog-related greats when it comes to albums from two legendary bands. Which do you prefer? BONUS - Song vs Song (Adjusting for the fact that Queen's offering has nearly twice as many tracks): Tom Sawyer vs Death on Two Legs vs Lazing on a Sunday AfternoonRed Barchetta vs I'm in Love with My Car vs You're My Best FriendYYZ vs '39 vs Sweet LadyLimelight vs Seaside Rendezvous vs Love of My Life (The order is shifted so the epics align)The Camera Eye vs The Prophet's Song vs Bohemian RhapsodyWitch Hunt vs Good CompanyVital Signs vs God Save the Queen Edited July 29, 2016 by AnEggplant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnEggplant Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 For me, I go with Queen. Moving Pictures, while I do love it, is not among my favorite Rush albums.

Lucas Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Moving Pictures is full of very good songs, but A Night At The Opera is classic .. There is no song on Moving Pictures that, when I listen to it, think "This is up there as the greatest song of all time" - that happens often with Freddie and the Queen stuff, esp Bohemian Rhapsody and The Prophet's Song, and even Love Of My Life Death On Two Legs is killer too ;) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronos Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 As much as I've tried, I've just never liked Queen. At all. Moving Pictures it is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Moving Pictures has always meant the world to me. It's focused. It's a linear experience with a band bringing out the best in each other. Night at the Opera has always impressed me. Four talented songwriters with individual visions bringing out the best in each other. Night at the Opera is all over the map. An aural collection of short stories. Moving Pictures is focused. An aural novel. I prefer novels. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving Pictures is definitely more cohesive But the unique and creative flow happening on Night At The Opera is something very appealing for me .. The fact that The Prophet's Song and Bohemian Rhapsody are on the same album is mind boggling . Both albums are classics, no doubt . .

Entre_Perpetuo Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 You asked the wrong Rush fan. Let's see...my favorite album by my favorite band with my favorite singer who wrote my favorite song plus three of my other favorite instrumentalists of all time ever forever...vs. my 2.5 fav Rush album which failed to impress me the first time I listened to it.... You guess what I picked. :P 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disk98 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Moving Pictures is a better record to me. I love Bohemian Rhapsody and You're My Best Friend, but A Night at the Opera has some duller moments (most notably '39 and Good Company). Moving Pictures keeps me interested the whole time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
searchingforthelostxanadu Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 For me, it'll have to be:1. Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon2.You're My Best Friend3. Very close between YYZ and Sweet Lady, but I'd barely go with Sweet Lady4. Love of my Life5. The Prophet's Song6. Very close between Witch Hunt and Bohemian Rhapsody, but BoRhap takes the cake7. God Save The Queen Moving Pictures isn't really my favorite Rush album, plus I've been a Queen fan much longer. Bohemian Rhapsody is among my favorite songs of all time, and the album it comes from is among my favorite albums, if not my favorite. A Farewell to Kings is right below it. I may have triggered some of you, but if that's the way it's gonna be, so be it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Don't like Queen at all, so.... How can you NOT like Queen? I find them boring, nothing about their music excites me...reminds me of Dire Straits in that way! I don't like Queen either but they are far from boring. Very adventurous band musically. Not sure how you can hear a song like Bohemian Rhapsody and think they're boring. Annoying is how I've always described them. Freddy was a fantastic singer but something about the overall sound always bothered me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
