The band that was closest to Queen's situation was Lynyrd Skynyrd, and they chose to continue with the same name and were quite succesful.
I don't think the same can be said about Q+PR, although I have not heard any of their songs. I refuse to. Queen for me ended when Mercury died.
Nor is Black Sabbath with Dio the same as Black Sabbath with Osborne. But I have to wonder if Sabbath with Osborn could have have continued to produce quality music at the time they split up. Their last album together was not nearly as good as the previous ones.
What the topic started meant to say, though, is that without Mercury Queen would not have had the success they had. And I whole heartedly agree.
Who came up with the name Queen, or who the founding members were, is really irrelevant. I doubt that we would even know Deacon and Taylor if they had not the fortune to team up with Mercury. Brian May may have been succesful, but not to the degree things worked out for him with Mercury and Queen. At least in my opinion.

I don't know what the problem is here
I mean Roger and Brian are at least the
half of the members so they have every
right to call there selfs Queen.
And everybody van change his mind at anytime,
please correct me if I'am wrong.
So let us all be happy that they are continue making music.
Because they are great musicplayers after all.
And they are keeping Queen and the memory of
freddie alive.
Queen wasn't just freddie it was the 4 of them that's what freddie always said.
Don't get me wrong nobody can replace or even get
a little bit close to freddie, but it would be a
waste if great poeple like brain may and roger taylor wouldn't play music anymore.
