Two artists that share some similarities.

Both more or less equally but if I were under pressure I would probably go with Bowie. ;)

Yep. Enough for them to record a song together in fact. Wink

From a prog point of view, Bowie has the instrumentals on "Low" and some Rick Wakeman on keyboards.

This is a poll that cries out for a "neither" option.

I vote for both because "Under Pressure" was a great song. Smile

Queen. And in fact it's even not close. If they did nothing except Queen II, it's enough for me to give them vote.

My first impression is Queen, but then I think about other great songs by Bowie and I just can't choose.

It has taken me a long time to get into Bowie but finally it worked out. With Queen never.

Queen had 3 or 4 really good albums. Bowie has them beat.

Not including Prog bands , for me Queen are the best band ever.
Bowie is a fantastic artist though and both knew how to make a splash that's for sure. Both also did great last albums (Innuendo and Blackstar)

I like both, but there's more Queen I want to listen to than Bowie, so Queen gets the vote.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!
