 Topic: Electric Light Orchestra V QueenPosted: May 11 2010 at 15:26 |

For me this Killer Queen and We are the Champions vs. my beloved Electric Light Orchestra.
I haven't heard much more from Queen but my image of them is a .... glam band that is happy to work with ...lord Adam Lambert. Yuk! Edited by RoyFairbank - May 11 2010 at 15:27 |

ELO.
Queen is less progressive, to me.

Oh come on! That's just Brian and Roger at menopause. Cut them some slack! (that being said, Rrrroger is still the love of my life  )So, if you have the time get Queen II and we'll talk afterwards.  |

Queen. ELO is about as interesting as . . . some other not very interesting thing.

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. As for Queen, they were rockers who flirted with prog in snippets here and there along the way.

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). But thank goodness for Queen and The Beatles too... |

Sorry for the mistake. Live and let die (McCartney) was 'inspired' by Starlight. So McCartney inspired by ELO which was in turn inspired by McCartney.
It's like a 'musical oneness Utopia'. By the way, why did everyone stop talking about this almost 2 months ago? |

and Jeff Lynne is actualy quite an underrated (yes i said underrated), singer he have a perfect vocal tone which brings tears in youre eyes, on he's best he kan give Roy Orbison a real challange vocaly, and he is also a qiute okey guitaris as well, not a shredder but i have seen he's fingger flye over the frettbord on some ochasions.

I think Snow Boy is a Genesis fan. Fair enough. I think I moved off track a little with the Beatles, Aginor with Roy (perhaps) and Snow Boy with Genesis.
(This thread was originally ELO-v-Queen) But yes, to get to the last point, Roy Orbison was perhaps the greatest voice ever recorded (at least in non-classical music). Even Elvis said so... |

Sorry, I was looking at the picture (with recent tracks and top artists from last.fm), and since AtomicCrimsonRush had pictures of Pink Floyd and Genesis I was reading too much into it.
My fault... |

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.

I'll take ELO, just because they were more consistent to me. Queen had 4 writers, and sometimes wrote boring songs. Jeff Lynne, in my honest and seemingly unique opinion, never wrote a bad song.

I prefer ELO because Jeff Lynne is much superior songwriter to anything anyone in Queen can produce, and even though Queen are the superior musicians and a better group.

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