Don´t apologize, this is your opinion.

Queen, quite comfortably. Before they got boring from News of the World onwards, they made a whole bunch of fabulous albums that would give a run for its money to even Gabriel-Genesis at least for my taste, let alone post-Gab.

Queen, Queen, a thousand times Queen.  I happen to love their 80s output as well, and Innuendo is a masterpiece, plain and simple.

Early Queen were a better Prog band than post-Gabriel Genesis and later Queen a far, far better Pop band.

I guess we need a Marillion vs Queen poll where Queen beat Marillion and the circle is complete.

Amen!  I love putting on Hot Space and just reveling in the glorious wrongness of it.  Amazing music with an admittedly misguided aim, but totally enjoyable and a worthy entry in the Queen canon.

The Game is also a favorite, although my absolute favorite album from the entire 80s is The Works. 

Also, if we're counting Queen material from 74 onwards, that includes Queen II, which is one of the finest, most eclectic prog albums ever made.  I'll take it over Genesis any day, pre-or-post 1976.

Okay.  Rant complete.  For now.  Wink

Genesis. I like some of Queen's songs. I own Jazz, which I quite like. But I never was much interested in Queen.

Everyone knows rock attained perfection in 1974, it's a scientific fact.
