I'm sure dozens of hardcore fans have bickered over this time and time again, but I believe ANATO could win in the debate of 'best Queen album', but then again, Queen II is one of few Queen albums I don't own. Loads of opinions make it seem as though Queen II could win. So I want to get the debate finished once and for all: Queen II or Opera? What do you think?

why would you begin a debate about an album you don't own?
surely that's like saying "jupiter or earth, where would you rather live?"
ps - Queen II everytime, and Venus ;-)

Yes, a very good point. You gotta have the album first...
itunes?

LOL
PS: Queen II and Mercury (heh)
No contest - A Night At The Opera.
Queen II was where their vision took a big step forward, but they perfected it by ANATO. Queen II had progressive and ambitious compositions, but it didn't have the diversity of styles nor the accessibility.
It's a common trait for hardcore fans of artists to want to bring more attention to lesser-known records that may have stronger material, but in Queen's case their best-known record is creatively their best one as well. ANATO has everything one needs to know about Queen. Even side 2 alone is pretty much the entire picture.

Sheer heart attack.
That's probably really annoying of me to say, but it's true.

but what about your planet?
so far we have venus and mercury (although i think that choice was queen-centric)
I'm in a rocket ship on my way to Mars on a collision course, myself.
A Night At The Opera wins it for me. Queen II is an extremely close second.
Uranus, by the way. ;)

agreed. A Day At The Races trumps II as well
Why isn't your favorite planet Mercury?
No contest - Queen II...
A Night is good... excelent... but Queen II is a bit (a little tad) better:
The March of the Black Queen beats Bohemian Rhapsody
From Anato we have that Excellent song called the Prophet´s song, But Queen II has Ogre Battle that is excellent too. (draw)
Procesion/Father to son is excellent as well Death On two legs (draw)
White Queen is wonderfull... almost legendary beats Sweet Lady too
Funny How love is a bit better than Lazing on the Sunday afternoon, but maybe an draw
Someday one day and Good company... musically Good company wins but in the lyrics wins Someday one day (draw)
I´m in love with my car is better than The loser in the end
The fairy feller´s master stroke beats Seaside Rendesvouz
Love of My Life is Beautiful... maybe better than Nevermore that is (maybe) too short... Love of my life is a know one.
Seven seas of Rhye beats You´re My Best Friend
and god save the Queen is only an anthem (i like procession more altough)
