I think Queen are the best by far. They're all rounders. They make awesome records, they have natural talent, and you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who is better than them live. Sure, the Beatles were revolutionary, no one can take that away from them, but I just think Queen are stronger musicans all together.

the beatles were never known for being good technical musicians. they are famous because they were amaaaaazing songwriters and lyricists, and yes, because they revolutionized pop music. it's just silly to judge them based on playing ability.
there are no set criteria for judging the greatness of a band...you've gotta just appreciate each one for what it does best.

Queen sold more records than the Beatles. I guess that should answer the question.

there are so many things wrong with that statement it's not even funny.
first of all, it's not even a little bit true.

second of all, if record sales are proof of greatness, than queen's greatest hits albums are their greatest artistic achievements.

Dude, this is hard. You are asking me to choose between my two favourite bands in the entire world.
WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE WANT FROM ME!!!!!!
I"M ONLY ONE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know, if it wasn't for the influence of the Beatles, we wouldn't have Queen. These guys came together because of their common interest in this type of rock music. Queen praise The Beatles a lot and I think I saw earlier today on this site a quote by Paul McCartney that said "King Mercury."
I so wish that one of The Beatles could have recorded with Queen. It would be in my eyes one of the best moments in music history ever.
Another fantasy would be if Freddie, John, George and Tupac all came back to life and toured with the surviving members of Queen and The Beatles.
Think about.
The Queen Beatles Shakur

and lastly....beatles = 8 years
queen = 33 yrs...hardly a fair comparison
by this kinda reckoning...if the spice girls stuck around for 40 yrs they'd be better than the beatles and queen

Well, I think Lennon was a genius. Both, Freddie and Lennon were THE BEST EVER HAPPENED TO THIS WORLD...
by an odd coincidence, lennon's father was named freddie. i'm not joking.
