Queen is better but I think Led Zeppelin were better musicians

how can you say such things? - this guy wrote yesterday, penny lane and virtually all of sgt pepper - he also pieced together (from bits of tape) and co-rpodcued with George Martin (imo) their greatest work abbey rd - while john and George were high on drugs (allegedly) and "forgot" to turn up to recording sessions

Jean Luc is lucky my girlfriend isn't reading this. She's a Beatle/Macca-fan and would probably make a vicious post about Star Trek or something. =)

Can't agree. Bonham was definitely the better drummer, but May was the better guitarist. Even in his best days, Page still had that sloppiness in his playing. May is a much more diverse and clean player. Almost everything Page has ever played is a variation of a major or pentatonic scale.

Mercury, Deacon, Plant, and Jones were all great in their very different ways.

I agree. Led Zepplin made good music but Queen were in a different league to them. Stairway and Kashmir are fantastic, but the overall production of Queens music was far more superior.


As for the Beatles, I dont know how many times ive spoken about them, they were dog crap. Three chord specialists. Queen didnt pick up the Beatles baton, Status Quo did! They are Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo over-rated its unbelievable!

Okay, I've thought about it and I've decided... the Beatles. No, Queen. Then again, the Beatles. No, actually Queen. Wait, scratch that, the Beatles. No no no, Queen.

Oh, who am I kidding... you can't expect me to answer a question like this.

Who is the greater composer? Mozart or Beethoven? Well, I don't know. I just know I like Mozart better. Then, again, which is the greatest band? Queen, Beatles or Led Zeppelin? I don't know, either. I just know I love Queen the best. It's just a matter of opinion.

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.


I fully agree with you!
i like both, but ducksoup (i wanna duck!) has a fairly good point. but admit it, some beatles song are pretty trippy and funny to listen to when high/drunk. hell! even when sober they are funny, but in a cool way.
Whereas queen i can just listen to whenever the fuck i want, and i always know i'll love it. but sometimes i just feel like the beatles.

to answer the question, i prefer queen, but the beatles were a much more influential band.

Talking about influential ... there weren't many other (serious) bands beside Beatles who did music for the masses all over the world.

There is no way to compare Queen / The Beatles. Different times, different feelings, different points of view.

If both bands would have existed in the same time, then perhaps.

Let it be, 'cos both are the champions. :-)

Anyway, I like Queen more than Beatles, but Beatles was very good anyway. They were the first and influenced a lot of bands after them. Maybe they use to be a little bit overrated (thanks to fact they were first), but their era after Rubber Souls was really interesting.
But now it's time to be gone - forever...
