News of the World. No, it's not all prog, but so what? "It's Late" is one of my favorite Queen tracks ever.

the debut for me. 70s Queen is AMAZING anyway, all of them are great. IMHO.

Queen's debut is amongst my fav Queen albums.
hard choice between that and ADATR, but any album with My Fairy King on it will always be special.

IMO, 'Sheer Heart Attack' is the best here. There was, however, a definite decline after 'Jazz'. It switched to disappointingly bland and non creative AOR. I blame the synths which they had vetoed up until then. All of these are quite good albums, otherwise. 'A Day At The Races' is a bit of a weaker clone of ANATO though.

Killer Queen got me interested in Queen... and then there's Brighton Rock ... and Now I'm Here ....
Sheer Heart Attack, although the debut is great and Queen II isn't boring at all.

I had to vote for Jazz since it didn't have any votes. A wonderful album.

I don't feel qualified to vote since I haven't heard enough of these, but I really love ADATR.

Sheer Heart Attack -- the only Queen album I consistently liked. 
They go ever deeper down the commercial toilet after ANATO -- and they're circling the bowl on that one!

Shame on you - their finest, most varied and certainly most progressive (no, I'm not referring to that track  ) album - sir, you have no taste whatsoever; further, I'd go so far to say that ANATO pwns all those in the above poll!
Ahem -
As far as the poll goes, though, my vote has to go for the debut album - if for nothing else, Great King Rat!

I'd say they got progressively weaker after ANATO, but to these ears, it's easily the best album they've ever recorded. I've always felt that. I feel their 80s output actually gets worse on repeated airings!

Geez -- talk about yer difficult queens....
Okay then, not yet "circling the bowl," but preparing to flush, in any case. 
Radio success ruined them, it seems.

Commercial isn't necessarily bad. Why does everyone use it as an insult?

Which is why I've always seen 'Live Killers' as their last great album; a stormer of a set (just don't mention the overdubs  ) and the swansong of Queen as a hard rock band.
