Quite a question isn`t it?
For me, obviously Queen, I also adore The Beatles, but Queen is Queen... I would like to know most Queen Fans` opinions about both bands.

In terms of sales ? Concert attendance ?
Talking of music I am sure there a loads of people who think that Aqua is the greatest band ever. Or N'Sync. Or 5ive. Or even New Kids on the Block. You just can not define it as long as personal taste is involved.
But if we stick to that, seeing it only as personal opinion in terms of the impact a band has on music (you said the "greatest", that implies a discussion about achievements and influence on other artists), the greatest band for me are the Beatles. Simply because they started the whole craze and influenced generations of musicians (incl. our 4 lads) - and still do.
But Queen obviously is by far my favourite band ! A love-affair for 18 years now...

A good friend of me used to write on his site:
Beatles were the first, Queen were the best...
I couldn't agree more!!

The Beatles had such a huge effect on popular culture that will never, ever be repeated. Queen may have bettered certain things, but they did not pioneer things the way The Beatles did.
Sure, Queen concerts were better. Sure, Queen lasted longer as a band. But The Beatles changed the world. Queen did not, not even close to the extent of The Beatles.
Queen will always be my favourite band, but I completely bow down to what The Beatles stood for and accomplished in less than a decade.

Couldn't have said it better myself, dear sir.
If eiter bands are "the greatest" (whatever the fuck that means!) then its The Beatles. They made a bigger impact than Queen socially & musically- plain and simple.
Theyve influenced many bands/artists that are still around today, which can't really be said for Queen unfourtunately... the only particuarly Queen influenced band around today are that pseudo-rock band The Darkness that look and sound like a bunch of music teachers who heavily rely on high pitched vocals and fret-wanking due to lack of actual songs.

Each band has their time, The Beatles were the greatest at that time, Queen's big time came later.
I don't think you can compare them at all, not even say which band is better because they were so different.
I don't think that any band in the world could ever top The Beatles and the impact they had.
Plus, I don't even think Queen would've been the same band without The Beatles. They were a huge inspiration.
As Freddie said in Life Is Real "Lennon is a genius living in every pore"
And he truly was!

Yeah, pick two groups that I obsess over. I'm being Switzerland on this one. I ain't choosing. That way I can stay on my OWN good side.
damn it
Queen are the best!
the Beatles suck

Fuck**g Question.
Queen is the best band ever!
There is no doubt.

For me, it's Queen. I think The Beatles are great, and it's amazing how much they changed the face of music in such a short span of time, but I've never fully appreciated their work the way I have with Queen. I think that Queen perfected what The Beatles had accomplished.
Sir GH laid it down very nicely. Thanks for that.
Queen were better musicians, singers, producers and arrangers than the Beatles. They were arguably equal as songwriters. Queen's live shows were spectacular, and they wrote the song of the century and had arguably the greatest frontman in rock and roll history.
The Beatles changed the world and have a catalogue that will never be matched. And teh winner is???
The Beatles by a mile.
