Sports fan maybe know a man called Johan Cruyff, once he said when asked for his favourite moment in football (in a different language, so i'll translate the best as i can): People are obssesed making lists, rankings, and picking their favourites, i can't do that, i can't pick just one moment i enjoyed all my career, or for example, who is my favourite children? I can't pick one, i just enjoy the time i spend with them. With women is easy because i only have one wife.
(is an extract of a video interview).
That means, don't worry trying to know what is the ''best of'', or who is better musician or who sell more. just enjoy the wonderful music of Queen, and if you like other bands enjoy them too, no matter popularity.

while their early influences were based in rock n roll - elvis, perkins, cochran, holly and even some orbison, their later stuff is an entirely different story. the second half of their recording career is astonishing in it's variety and arrangement.
FACT: The Beatles style and the genres of music they produced between 65-70 varied more than queen's did thru the second 5 years of their recording career.
just a few of the examples you can definitely hear in their "2nd half" to consider:
folk. victorian ballad, rhythm & blues, psychedelia, metal, music hall, ragtime, rock, soul, country rock, vaudeville, blues, country & western, celtic, classical, baroque and eastern (Indian).
You can say what you like, but to compartmentalize them as "it's all shitty loves songs" - proves you to be nothing more than a musical Phillistine and queen-stepford to boot. You disregard groups like the beatles at your own cultural and musical cost - it's your loss - and on that score i pity your ignorance.

As for Muse, I have all their albums and they are my sort of band. But in terms of place in history I wouldnt say they are in the public consciousness to any great extent. People aged 10 to 80 will all be able to name Queen/Stones/Beatles/Deep Purple/Zep songs but I dont think so with Muse. They have not transcended to that level.

Let's be polite, and let's do a little experiment. Hey Jeff, listen to this songs, they are some songs i like from the 60's to now. There are more, these are just a tease.
Don't listen to them doing rankings or classifing them or comparing that songs with Queen.
Just listen to them trying to enjoy the music, and then, tell me if you like them or not.
