   They were a glam rock band, with some progressive elements, especially on their first 5 albums.

	I would say not! I have been into them since they started & their 1st 3 albums are their best! Just top quality hard rock & nothing else. Maybe Queen 2 had a touch of prog,but to me it's just hard rock! I suppose a lot of people will say Races & Opera are prog but i don't know if they are!

	I have seen Queen discussed in these pages and on members "Desrert Island Discs" lists. Their albums (at least the early ones) show eclecticism, musicality, and technical skill. I consider Queen one of my favorites even though all my other favorites are more solidly in the prog realm. So I put it to you folks...is Queen prog?
