I can appreciate everything the Beatles did for music, and the music scene, and objectively, I can even recognize that they did some good music, it's just that it never appealed to me. On the other hand, I love Queen. Their music is awesome, Mercury probably had the best voice of any artist in history, and there has never been a Queen song (Mustapha aside) that I didn't eventually grow to love. How about you guys? Which one do you like more?

I have a friend that likes Queen but doesn't like The Beatles. I like Queen, but The Beatles are okay.

I like Queen better too. The Beatles are great, but I don't really listen to them.

Also, Mustapha is is awesome... If you focus your ears on Brian's playing.

It goes the same way for me as well.

Always liked Queen, but the Beatles were never as awesome to me as some people say they are.

I like the Beatles but I don't really like anything by Queen but a few songs.

I don't care for Queen, just Freddy. Regarding the beatles, I only like the white album, and a few other singles.

I absolutely hate this song, my digital design teacher in high school would play her ipod on shuffle, and that song constantly came up.

It fits into the album beautifully. As a standalone song it's kind of WTF?

I like both, but even then, are they really that comparable? Never had someone compare Queen to The Beatles before.

I like the Rolling Stones better than both, but to each their own.

I just got into the Rolling Stones last week... saw Performance (1968) with Mick Jagger and liked what I heard. I gave a few albums a whirl but I find myself coming back to Beggar's Banquet a lot. Any recommendations you have for me?

I like a few songs from each band. I don't have a preference really, if it was one or the other I'd pick neither.

You should check out Let it Bleed...that has some classics on it for sure. Also, Sticky Fingers is good and Their Satanic Majesties Request has some great underrated songs on it too like 2000 Light Years from Home.

There is some good stuff on Let It Bleed for sure. Didn't know where to proceed from there (into their staggering catalogue). I'm really liking Stray Cat Blues, though... love that guitar hook and almost speak-singing vocals there. Any similar tunes?

I'll check out those albums. Thanks again.

I can't think of anything similar to Stray Cat Blues at the moment...

the big four are Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers, and Exile on Main St. after that it's a bit murky, but I'd recommend December's Children, Aftermath, and Some Girls

and The Beatles = The Stones >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Queen

The Beatles are one of my favorite bands. I do like Queen as well and I think Mercury was a great singer, but the Beatles produced more consistently quality music in my opinion.
