By the way, Farrokh Bulsara was a great singer without a question, but back in 70s I enjoyed 10cc vocals far more.

Until A Night At The Opera it's the Queen at their best. You couldn't do any mistake with their first four records. IMO their '70th stuff is great so until Jazz it's fine (although you couldn't expect too much progressiveness from later records - News Of The World or Jazz namely - but it's still the Queen). Then from The Game it starts to be more pop/disco (but here and there there are great songs anyway on all their records) with the lowest point usually considered around Hot Space and The Works. Then it's starts to be better onward to Innuendo.

10cc has One Night in Paris and Feel the Benefit, Queen has all the other aces.

Voted 10cc due to The Original Soundtrack (1977) and Live And Let Live (1977) which is one of my favourite 70s live albums

This---I tried to like 10cc after one of my gods (Tony Banks) said a few good things about hem--but only succeeded in liking some of their songs--Queen when it hits the mark is great.

You've obviously never heard Sheet Music, then.
One of the most brilliantly crafted albums of all time. And The Original Soundtrack is also quite remarkable.
I love Queen up to A Night at the Opera, but my vote goes to 10cc for being so clever, so innovative and so damn funny.

10cc. Sheet Music is brilliant. Superb musicians.

Like 10CC, but love Queen. Queen is just sooo much better IMO. They have versatility and their singers are much better than 10CC's.

A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

How Dare You is a favorite but I still have a soft spot for Original Soundtrack.

10cc had several nice pop songs, but Queen had several great albums. No contest.
