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.

Here isn't anything to consider. Queen is far better. Listen to Queen II - it's fantastic stuff and as we are on progressive music site, this is probably the most progressive record Queen has ever done. If they did nothing else (and they did in fact), they would be winner here. -------------

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. -------------

Hi, Always thought 10CC was more important because of where they came from and also for where they took a lot of their stuff. They wrote for many folks before their band, including Neil Sedaka, and then Hotlegs (had the hit for Nearderthal Man, and then 10CC ... not to mention that one person in the group directed almost ALL the videos for The Police at the time, which helped introduce the band on MTV. Queen has some outstanding things, but really ... it's just a rock band! A good rock band, mind you!

You do realize that the term "10cc" originally equated to the alleged amount of semen in the average male ejaculation. So, the comparative "seriousness" aspect in the band names is quite laughable.

In re, 10cc. Graham Gouldman stated in regards to the band's name: "The average male ejaculation is 10cc. There’s a couple of reasons really, but that’s the short answer." Found here: http://www.guardian-series.co.uk/news/11528974.Q_A_with_Graham_Gouldman_of_10cc/%20" rel="nofollow - http://www.guardian-series.co.uk/news/11528974.Q_A_with_Graham_Gouldman_of_10cc/ I see no reason to doubt it.

I was aware of the Gouldman quote - but the dream one is the version given by King (who coined the name) and the rest of the band, hence the "probably". ...though a lot of what King claims can be taken with a pinch of salt, his claim to naming Genesis has been refuted by someone in the band (I forget who now).

^Queen were an electic band with skillful songwriting, technical supremacy and will for constant experimentation.

Art rock and prog rock quite close to hand-in-hand, no? Those who doubt 10cc's "prog credentials" should check out some of the more out-there tracks from Sheet Music, The Original Soundtrack and How Dare You! Pop rock it is, straightforward it often isn't. Those who only know 'em for I'm Not in Love and The Things We Do for Love may be a bit surprised when they hear Une Nuit a Paris or Iceberg. ------------- https://gabebuller.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - New album! http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=7385" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=7385 |

Of course, it's impossible to draw a distinct border between prog- and art-rock, everyone's following his own criteria, just like in case with hard-rock and heavy-metal. To my mind, Pink Floyd is the band, standing on the very edge of this border. I hope, this statement explains to you, why I don't consider queen, 10cc, elo and such to belong to prog-related bands. If it doesn't, here are some by book criteria: no philosophical message, no virtuoso-instrumentaion, no tricky structures, almost no lenghty/multi-part compositions. Above written doesn't mean I don't like these bands(actually I do) or I don't like art-rock or I proclaim huge advantage of prog rock over art-rock.

also in philosophical terms I DO NOT
LIKE to be preached upon or hear whatever sermons one has to say, this is just silly and redundant to me, no
virtuoso-instrumentaion how can you say this? No tricky structures, almost no
lenghty/multi-part composition. This is too silly really. Reading all this, I

And I have to agree with you.....never thought either band was 'proggy' .
But then I don't think Zep or the Who are especially prog related either yet they are listed that way here.
Both bands had some nice tracks but if you made me sit down and listen to one of these bands for any length of time I would go with Queen.

While you can hardly find any pure prog albums/songs in LedZep catalogue, the band is certainly prog-related with its tricky arrangements, complex riffs and mystical lyricism. The Who, on the other hand, issued "Tommy" and "Quadrophenia" which are not less proggy than "The Wall" for instance.

Posted By: dr wu23
Date Posted: April 28 2015 at 09:07
And we are back to the old...what is prog discussion. Regarding arrangements, riffs, and lyrics there are probably plenty of bands who aren't here as 'prog related' but should be based on that criteria. Zep is huge , famous, and well liked ,,,,prolly why they are here. On the Who...Tommy does have some interesting bits here and there that cross over into prog at times but I don't hear this on Quad which has some orchestration (is that prog.?) But even so does that make what The Who did on those 2 albums prog..? Floyd had many prog and of course space rock elements on many of their earlier albums and always had a history of expanding their musical ideas so I can see why The Wall is included in your comment but as you alluded there is plenty of regular rock on that one. In the end it's matter of opinion....isn't it? ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

Cupla things... Proto Prog and Prog Related are not Prog. The Who are in Proto-Prog and not Prog Related. The distinction is key otherwise we'd not have two distinctly separate categories. I've no real intention of launching into a defence of a band I don't like very much, or of their inclusion here or of PA's decision to have PR & PP categories at all. However. The main point is they don't have to have created a whole or partial Prog album or even a Prog song to be listed there in that category. Prog Related is a mess, it always has been and it always will be - why it is a mess is to do with PA's murky history but in recent years the various Admin teams have worked to prevent it becoming even more of a mess, and that means being selective about who else gets added to the current list. In principle they could add hundreds of artists, especially if they blindly follow an IF X THEN Y criteria based on bands who are already listed, but that would result in a bigger PR section than the rest of the PA put together ... which would make PA little better than a second-rate RYM rather than a first-rate Prog site. ------------- What? |

Both bands released 4 excellent albums before turning toward pop drivel. Although Queen had much more popular success after abandoning their early, art rock sound, they also became far too saccharine and mostly boring. 10cc made occasional attempts to return to the quirkiness of their early years, but mostly fell flat. As for who was better, when evaluating the first four of each? Apples and oranges. I love them both. ------------- Trust me. I know what I'm doing. |

| If it wasn't for Sheet Music I'd probably vote Queen, but that one album is pretty much the most creative and brilliantly constructed pop album of the 70s for my money. Not really that fussed about any other 10cc albums although How Dare You has its moments. In fact Godley & Creme's "L" is probably closer to Sheet Music than any other album bearing the 10CC name. |

10cc - genius; how they got people to buy their veiled humor and inside jokes wrapped around Beach Boys, doo-wop and good old rock n roll....genius. Queen - genius; how they got people to buy their veiled humor and inside jokes wrapped around Sabbath, whimsical prog and good old rock n roll....genius. Two bands seemingly very different but really cut from a similar jib. Tongues firmly in cheek, yet selling millions.....Genius. I dig 10cc more....just more my style, but Queen is a gas, especially those first four albums.

Nor would Freddie ever have sung, "I don't like cricket, I love it." Both bands ended on low notes, though Godley and Creme released some stuff that lives up to their 10cc roots. Would love to hear an FM station play Un nuit en Paris and Bohemian Rhapsody back-to-back....probably hasn't been done since 1978, if ever. Are either prog? When it's that much fun, who cares what you call it. BTW, I'd call it art rock, maybe even arty rock, but nobody would ever mistake either for Yes. ------------- I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there..... |

Why can't I vote in the poll? I vote 10cc, I love both though. Don't think I'd classify either as prog rock too.
