Queen is group of my childhood. Freddie Mercury and his band had made dramatical input in music history. Also they faced true popylarity among people.

Eldorado certainly is a great album, and the follow-up Face the Music is good (particularly the song "Fire on High"). The other two you mentioned represent ELO descending into pop hell, from whence they never returned.
 
But there has always been a strong pop element to Queen.  I don't understand how you can be such a strong advocate of Queen, when you have such a disparaging view of  pop.  I don't think there is such a big difference between Queen and ELO.  Personally I love the pop inflected Beatle-esque melodies of ELO.  I also like Queen very much but sometimes find their arch campness a little tiring.

Neither are my favourite bands although I liked both when I was growing up  and equally lost interest when they adopted a more commercial approach in the late seventies.
If I had to choose it would be ELO as they did the 'proggier' stuff in their earlier years while Queen were really a heavy glam rock band before becoming a pop band. Queen were never that close to prog but I know its an old argument not to be revisited.

I always used to hate ELO but recently I've been quite enjoying Out of the Blue, for some odd reason. Despite this, I have to say I still prefer Queen.

which of these two art rock/glam band do you like the most
 
with crossing bounderies of rock and artsy music, symponic structured rock songs, but not as dence and dragged out as the giants of prog. ELO and Queen represent the borderline between artsy rock and pop art. (and influence from other specters of the fine arts,
 
two of the great vocalists in rock, Jeff Lynne was also part of the traveling wildeberrys, and can like few else do Roy Orbinson almost as good  as the original
 
and Freddy who few rock singers surpasses.
