Look at Queen's body of work!. They did songs like the Classic Bohemian Rhapsody !. ( over played but still way innovative, who would have thought operatic sounds would work so well with rock!? ) Then songs like Love Of My Life and '39, and Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon!. Their records were ballsy! They did their own thing and it worked!. How many bands had such a broad range of sound!?
And 80s man is quite right!. I never got to see them live :( but I have seen the videos!. Freddie Mercury was the ultimate showman, and front man!. He lived for the stage!. A Queen show was EPIC!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I realize from many other questions that there are a bunch of die-hard Queen fans in here!. I see that many of them have posted already!.
However, I am going to brave the thumbs down and quite firmly say that I go with the Rolling Stones, no question!.
The Stones sound more natural in the studio!. Most everything with Queen (while much of it is good) is a major, involved production, whereas the Stones can really just sit down and rock out a kick-*ss song, as even their most recent album proves!.
The Stones had an entire era in the 1960s during which nearly every riff that Keith Richards wrote turned to gold!. They cranked out rock classic after rock classic for years, and they survived the death of a founding member only to regroup and release two of their strongest albums ever (Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main St!.)
Oh, and excuse me, that all happened before Queen even released their debut!.
Sorry, there's no contest here for me whatsoever!. Queen don't suck or anything, but Jagger/Richards essentially rewrote the book on Rock music!. The Stones!. Period!.
EDIT: I said nothing about live performances!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Freddie Is a Better singer than Mick BUT!.!.!.!.That don`t make them a better band!!!
With The Stones You get better music and not off the wall Oprah(lol) or what ever you call it!.
The Stones better song writers, better music,better bluesy rifts and plus Mick CAN Sing good enough Not as good a Freddie but you add all the Stones talent together and you get the worlds greatest rock n roll band ever

The Rolling Stones aren't in the same league as Queen!. The douches in Polls and Surveys are clearly delusional!. The Stones are decent by all accounts, but Queen are just legends!. Jagger never had the charisma of Freddie, and Keith Richards shines Brian May's shoes for him!.
I have nothing against The Stones at all, but Queen are number one!. Www@Enter-QA@Com

Queen!.
Not to hate on the Stones, 'cause they've got some great material there, but for me personally, the fact that Queen went for the first 7 years of their career creating timeless, complexly-arranged rock songs without touching a synth the entire time deserves a medal on it's own!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

different bands!.!.!. Stones were huge during their era but Queen were more in the music if you know what i mean i vote for Stones only because the Queen did a concert with a guy in vocals who's only similarity with Mercury was that he was gay!.!.!.!.sorry but that's true!.!.!.it was for the Queen of UK something and there were also Ozzy and many other!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
I prefer Queen myself!.
I greatly prefer Freddie Mercury's voice to Mick Jaggar's!. And the Stones could be really "hit and miss" with their music!. Some of it's really good, some of it is pretty annoying!. And the Stones never put out anything as fun as "Fat-Bottomed Girls!."
They make the rocking world go round, after all!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Queen has some great songs but so do the Rolling Stones!. Queen is certainly more current but then again the sheer longevity of the Stones has been pretty amazing so it's a really tough call but for the sake of time span of their career I guess I would give the nod to the Stones!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Queen!.The Rolling Stones were just more of what i call a tripped out Rock!.You had to be on some kind of drug to listen to it!. I guess us people that have even tried some drugs like me and still don`t like them can`t get into that kind of musical Expression!.They are just not Rock to me at all!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
