That's a good one. When I was a teenager ELO was my favorite band.
Now I would say I'm more of a Queen fan.

Yeah, I'm a fan of ELO to. But I think Ticket To The Moon rocks.

Not a fan of ELO. Can't handle that ELO "sound". I like a lot of Queen songs so Queen it is

I'm a bit skeptical of either band ever really selling out. |

Both these bands created multi-genre music. Surely, they were mega-hit machines, but where Queen had the 'glammy' hard-rock thing happening from the outset, ELO were a genuine Prog-Rock band that streamlined fairly quickly, much in the same way Split Enz did.

just not a fan of either, although both put out an album or two that I would rate 3 stars. I think they both sold out and made a lot of awful music when they did, drowning out earlier career quality in the process.

Queen by a landslide.
If I'd to choose between Queen and Saga, it would be tougher to choose. :D

^ Really? Okay, I'll accept that until I actually hear more ELO and can have a more educated opinion. Until then I stand by it. You and I have seen a ton of shows, I assume hundreds between us, and in concert Queen killed everyone I've ever seen except maybe U2. Whereas ELO always seemed twee.

Richard Tandy laughs at that David. By far the best pure musical talent in either group.. and sadly completly underrated for the lack of any mention in greatest keyboardists. Bev Bevan was also one of the most respected drummers in all rock. Can say that for ..whatever his name was in Queen. Add in all the talent that flowed through the band in the strings.. Wilf Gibson? Single greatest violin solo in all rock is to his credit. Oh no.. I'd most certainly give the collective musical talent and playing to ELO. And that really isn't close IMO.

^ I'd have to agree though I'd say Queen was a far greater rock band in terms of actual playing.

yeah.. easy one.
ELO by .. umm... light years.
Though Freddie may have been the single greatest frontman ever. Unfortunately that doesn't trump all the great stuff ELO did musically. |

Well.....I listened to the first 4 ELO albums more than I did the first 4 Queen albums...but then they were out earlier , both good in those days. I'll say both.....
