Queen or The rolling stones?

I agree the Beatles are EPIC they should'nt even be in this disscussion!

and also WHY!? is there a Queen vs topic? This is a QUEEN forum the majority and going to say Queen so whats the point?

I think it`s good to have such threads too to highlight the glory of the favourite band!
Certainly, I agree that The Stones are great, but they are more traditional rock, which is in abundance. Though Queen is more Glam-rock but with very specific sound, immediately recognizable and unique. There has never been anyone like them since then and I doubt that there will ever be. I believe their contribution hasn`t been fully appreciated so far.

Let's be honest with ourselves for just a moment...

How many Queen albums changed the world?
How many Beatles albums changed the world?

It's true, millions of people tried to emulate The Beatles... because their sound is the sound that changed the world of popular music, while their image changed popular culture.  And since we're on the topic of the Stones, Mick Jagger's bad boy image had a huge impact on the counter-culture of the 60s.

    Queen admired the Beatles greatly and I think one of the band members said the [i]Beatles were like their Bible.[/i]

You are actually comparing a shitty band like rolling stones with Queen?! funny stuff.

[i]I like both bands.. I unfortunately never got to see a Queen peformance live.. but I was lucky enough to see the Stones in concert.. I wasn't a huge fan before seeing them live, but now I am a more of a fan. As for the band that has had the greater impact and legacy, it the Stones, and its not even close.[/i]

I just joined the Queen group on all three of my facebooks :)

Never really liked Stones. I can listen to them sometimes but I just can't watch it. I remember when I saw that video with David Bowie. For me it was just a joke. I just can't take it seriously or find some value in it.

we can't compare Queen with Rolling stones!!!You know why?????

Rolling stones just play a kind of music(Rock),,, Queen know how to play music, playing a lot of music style, Queen mix the styles and make a good song!!

sorry the wrong typing,,, i'm from brazil!!!!!!!

Are people that closed-minded?  The only determining factor of what makes a good band is going on tangents, trying out other genres of music?

But since the Stones didn't write Seaside Rendezvous, I guess their records sucked...

sigh...

they did mix styles, they mixed rock n roll with the blues.

Actually both are great. The rest is a matter of choice. I choose Queen.

Sorry,, i expressed poorly,,, but u understood when i said that they mix styles,,, u know,, it's not just that style,, however,,, i like rolling stoness, but I PREFER QUEEN!!!!
