When it came to writing melodies, Mercury didn't hold a candle to Lynne. And these days, with all them damn Kansas and Camel and Supertramp and Uriah Heep and Deep Purp and blah blah blah blah doing the 'art ROCK' thing, I stop giving a sh*t really early on.

As SONGS, they certainly aren't in THAT exalted company. I'd only make such a statement about a band like Beatles and they were easily far superior masters of songwriting than Queen (or most rock bands for that matter).

Queen made excellent recordings with high levels of performance, but song quality was not of the same standard, otherwise it would have been even better than it was. ELO has many of those qualities too, but the songs are just as  good. Recording skills and writing skills are two different things, one can make up for deficiencies in the other, but of course, it's best when the two meet in harmony.

Jeff Lynne is a great songwriter, but not better  than Freddie.



Freddie was a great singer and showman, but he couldn't write a song to save his life (!); the 'songs' he did write were amazingly old-fashioned (and camp!) for someone from a supposedly-heavy Rock group. Even the best piece he ever did - parts of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' - were snatches of good melody (but with meaningless lyrics) interspersed with trivial/mundane musical interludes heavily laced with bad taste which only a group peddling excess as a norm could get away with. So no, in my opinion Freddie wasn't even in the first league of songwriters, though he certainly had plenty going for him in other ways.

Freddie wasn't in the first league of songwriters??

"Bohemian Rhapsody", "The March Of The Black Queen", "Millonaire Waltz". With those three songs, he is better than most musicians.

And "We Are The Champions", "My Fary King", "Ogre Battle", "Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy", "Bycycle Race", "Killer Queen", "The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke", etc..

Of course Queen will win. I doubt anyone expects otherwise. I wholly prefer ELO, though. For one, Lynne did things with pop melodies that Freddie would've shat his panties over. Lynne did things with production. It's all opinions.

Not much into ELO, so no vote. 

Anyway, Queen's style was anticipated by Sparks who did it WITHOUT the pastiche approach that Queen favoured in not only Bohemian..but many other well regarded songs like March of the Black Queen and went for 3-4 minute slabs of smart pop/rock instead.  Sparks also tried many more things so it's not possible for me to hold Queen's compositional skills in the same high regard as I would have before.  Yeah, mainly about the flamboyance of Mercury and May. And as much as I like Freddie's singing, he's NOT my favourite rock singer and is pretty weak when it comes to truly melancholic moments.  His singing on the first section of Bohemian is overwrought but it works because of the band's generally campy style of music.

As much as I'm not really into ELO, I've heard a large portion of their music and never disliked any of it, though it's too poppy to be something I'd ever choose.  However, I really don't care for anything I've heard by Queen.  Their single most impact on my life is the Bohemian Rhapsody scene in Wayne's World.  And I agree, Jeff Lynne's writing strikes me as superior to Freddy Mercury's, just so much more going on.  

Also Jeff Lynne's voice destroys me....the Rain is Falling.

ELO by a thousand miles.  They have some AMAZING work (actually a lot of amazing work), some okay work, and some that I could take of leave.  

Queen has a few good songs and a LOT of generic filler songs in my opinion.  (I said in my opinion, before some fanboy goes off on me).  And I never really saw the fascination with Queen other than Mercury having a good voice.

Also, ELO is a good prog rock band, Queen is a generic rock band that occasionally has moments that are debatably progressive.

ELO were inspired by The Beatles. Queen was inspired by ELO. I feel Queen 'copied' ELO but I don't mean copy in a bad way. Many many ELO ideas viz. orchestra, vocals, chord progressions, piano, ended up in Queen songs.

Compare

Sweet Talkin Woman -v- I want to break free

for example.

(And then compare

Night in the city -v- A day in the life, and Starlight -v- Live and let die!!!).

Anyway, my vote goes to ELO for sure! It has a classic groove, it's so smooth. A lot more funk (at least in the sound production).

Queen? In this forum? But anyway, I'll go with ELO although they could always be counted on to be a little smarmy and candy-ass.

Hard question, I really love some albums by both bands.
 
I would place "A New World Record" and "A Night at the Opera" in the same level.
 
Still, Freddie's personality and showmanship deserves an extra point, so ill go with Queen, but by a nose.

They are indeed in the same league. ELO had a run of great albums and songs in their heyday. Jeff Lynne is an excellent songwriter. 
Queen was also supremely talented and successful, but not so much so as to be in a different league than ELO.
