Posts in chronological order
Wrong forum I believe, and The Beatles simply because them along side the other amazing artists of the 60s(Stones,Dylan,The Who etc) Changed music forever, they brought a certain esscence to the world of music which will never be replicated. I'd love to go into detail, but we'll save that till this topic gets moved ;)
Mm, well, Queen is my favourite and musically and technically, IMO they are supearior, but as in having a collective impact on the world/the collective fandom, the beatles win, but Queen's my favourite.
I think Queen were more capable instrumentalists and Freddie was far better singer than the Fab four. Yet I prefer Beatles' compositions and George Martin arrangements anytime and consider John Lennon to be the greatest genius ever regarding rock music.
hm... they are from two different eras, so it's really hard to compare. In my opinon, i believe that they both rock.
1 Beatles
2 Queen
3 Stones
2 Queen
3 Stones
Tough because I am a huge fan of both. Certainly the Beatles had a big impact on popular culture as well as influencing musical styles even today. But both bands are versatile,and the musicianship equally as good, but personally I would choose the Beatles coz Strawberry Fields Forever is my all time fav. piece of modern music.
They are my two favourite bands, so I suppose I know what I'm talking about. The Beatles are the most famous band ever and that's something Queen can't compare with. As instrumentalist I think Queen are better than the Beatles. Freddie's voice is far much better than John's, Paul's, George's and certainly Ringo's. As composers I think the Beatles were better the Queen...
I remember I once read an interview done to Freddie in which the interviwer told him that Duran Duran (we are talking the 80's here) have said that they were better than the Beatles and Freddie's answer to that was: "There is no one better than the Beatles", so I suppose this summarize all, doesn't it?

Well remember the Beatles came first. They alongside other rock legends such as the Who, Led Zepplin, the 'Stones and other great bands like Yes were major influences of Queen.
Queen's music is basically all of the above mished and mashed together, coupled with a homemade guitar with one of the most capable players to date playing it, possibly the greatest frontman ever to have lived with an angel's voice, and a damn solid rythm. Though of course Queen had their own style(s).
The Beatles started the whole mulitracking and harmonies which Queen then took to another level so you have to hand it to them. They were all geniuses who changed music forever but then so were Queen. I prefer Queen mainly because I love their music more than I like the Beatles'.
But in the end they are incomparable. They are two of the greatest bands in British rock music and they are also from different eras.

QUEEN rule better for me.... :P
The Beatles were and still are are a great band but Queen are the best all you have to do is look at Sir Freddie's showmanship compared to john and McCa's and Sir Freddie's was and still is the best and Queen are a louder act.
I love both but if i'd have to choose..probably Queen because i think they were just better and 'developed'..like Freddie had a more powerful stronger voice and Brian's guitar solos are amazing..Roger could really hit those top notes and John...erm..yea..

How the hell can you ask such a question? There is a difference in the musical genres and style of both bands. They are both amazing in their own "unique" way. I will not choose. The Beatles are one of the greatest bands on Earth, and Queen is also. Stupid question, no offence.
