Queen II is far more creative than all the Dream Theater catalogue combined.
Dream Theater are many things, but original is not really one of them - now let's be honest here. Where are the borrowed riffs in any of Queen's material?
And hand-in-hand with originality goes creativity. And the scope of Queen's work is phenomenal - practically unmatched by any band.
I could start with the unparalleled vocal harmonies and go from there...

That's quite unfair. Queen II was written in the early 70s, Dream Theater started in the 90s. When I listen to 80s Queen I hear a LOT of borrowed riffs. And even in their 70s work there are MANY concepts they took from 20s/30s/40s music.
BTW: It's funny ... I saw that you had posted in this thread and knew EXACTLY what you had posted.

Why are we comparing the most random bands and making polls about
them? Dream Theater and Queen are not related and are nothing like each
other. They are not comparable. |
The next pointless comparison will be Ramones and ELP!!
By the way, my vote goes to Dream Theater for a simple reason: Queen is a great band with fabulous musicians and definitely must be at a list of the most important rock bands of all time, but I simply don't like them!! Please note that I have already listened to ALL Queen's catalogue and paid special attention to "Queen", "Queen II", "Sheer Heart Attack", "A Night at the Opera", "A Day at the Races", "News of the World", "Jazz", "The Game", "The Miracle" and "Innuendo" and I still don't like them...
