I like Maneige, Les Porches is a favourite album for me, and their remaining 70's output is great too. But, oh man, Queen are just in a different league.

Welcome back man, it's been a while hasn't it?

It has been a while and thanks for the welcome.

Turns out I do have a Manierge album on my hard drive but I don't like it so much. So Queen is my vote.

Queen, just for their first 4 records, after that, they got lost in a pop oriented tendency that made they quite famous, but they lost almost all their excellent writing/composing output.

Umm. I don't expect these two are comparable. Very different beasts...  Well, in fact I didn't know Maneige before but I listened to Maneige's three first record. It's quite right (sometimes one can find something not widely know even in these days :-) ) but it could be better to compare Maneige to Harmonium maybe, it would be more appropriate.
Queen is usually considered as proto prog on Progarchives and rightly so. But Queen's first four records (till ANATO in 1975) are great ones and could be easily count as prog rock records (especially Queen II). May's guitar and Mercury's voice are unmistakable and their song writing skills was fantastic. Not to mention vocals.
Well, first Queen records you can compare to almost every progrock classic and to be honest - Maneige definitely isn't  any progrock classic.
Queen wins by light mile.

Queen hands down!!!  Maneige is great at what they do, but as far as songwriting, Mercury and Co. are light years ahead!!

This. Queen II and Sheer Heart Attack are light years ahead of anything by Maneige.

What an odd pairing........I'm not a big fan of either band but the early Queen albums are more interesting to me than those by  Maneige .

I had forgotten there was a band called Maneige. I relistened to a few songs today (I liked "Les Porches de Notre Dame" from hearing it in the late 70s visiting friends in Ottawa); unfortunately, I'll forget about them again by tomorrow. Queen, particularly their first four albums, blows this band to smithereens. No comparison.
