Entre_Perpetuo Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Queen is the one band I love more than Rush, in every era. Let's see... Queen vs. Rush = Queen Queen II vs. Fly By Night = Queen II Sheer Heart Attack vs. Caress Of Steel = Sheer Heart Attack A Night At The Opera vs. 2112 = I may have more copies of 2112 than any other album in three formats, have written a 4,000 word essay about the title track alone, and admit that if Cygnus X-1 Book I weren't my fav I would openly call 2112 the greatest thing rush had ever done, but A Night At The Opera IS my favorite album of all time ever, without question. A Night At The Opera A Day At The Races vs. A Farewell To Kings = A Farewell To Kings, my favorite Rush album vs. the first Queen album I was slightly disappointed by News Of The World vs. Hemispheres = News Of The World, revitalized Queen finally capitalizing on pretty much ruling the world vs. Rush's perfectly flawed masterpiece of prog, guess I'm just that much of a Queen fan. Jazz vs. Permanent Waves = Permanent Waves The Game vs. Moving Pictures = Moving Pictures Hot Space vs. Signals = Signals The Works vs. Grace Under Pressure = The Works, though neither is perfect. A Kind Of Magic vs. Power Windows = Power Windows, too much filler on A Kind Of Magic, though both are incredible The Miracle vs. Hold Your Fire = The Miracle, any day of the week Innuendo vs. Presto = Innuendo, by a country mile Made In Heaven vs. Roll The Bones = Made In Heaven, I can't bear to think about Roll The Bones most days. As for the rest of Rush's career, it would trump Made In Heaven in total, for the record. Nevertheless, I love Queen more than Rush. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithrandir Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Rush. Not close at all. Queen made some solid music in the 70's. But Rush made incredible music. Queen was more accessible to the masses, so they were much more popular than Rush. But not better! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

custom55 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Nothing in the 70's that Queen released tops this. http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w276/custom55/rush___hemispheres__anim_gif__by_joelremy222-d5kqx3c_zps651d06b3.gif 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedRush Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Does this mean we get to debate whether the obviously 70s album PeE was 70s or 80s again? Yay!!!! If we make PeW a 70's album then Rush gets the nod. Rush made PeW a 70s album. You know, cause, like, they made it in the 70s. Goddamnit, sucked in again! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedRush Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Queen was a singles band, even in their "prog" era. They rarely had more than 3 good songs on an album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMCXII Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Love both bands, but Rush a little more. But in my book 70's Rush beat 70's Queen by a small margin, 70's Queen beat 80's Rush by a fair margin and 80's Rush beat 80's Queen. So my answer to this topic is Rush. ..and if Queen wants to beat RUSH they need a time machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
