Exactly so - in many ways, more prog than prog itself...

threads like this make me realize that I still don't understand the meaning of "progressive". (just so you know  )

That's a great track. But its Art Rock, not Progressive. Still a grey area for many people, I see.

Progressive Rock = Art Rock.
"The Prophets Song" is pure Progressive Rock - I don't see how you can say otherwise. It's not grey - it's technicolour prog!!

In the 80 the best moment of Queen was "Under Pressure" with Bowie, not prog but a cool song. |
Arguable... 
That song gets on my nerves!

Yes, it is true Queen were glam rock. Glam wasn't really a actual muscial style, It was a way that bands presented themselves. A band can play prog but still be glam, like Roxy music and Queen.

I love all of Queen II and A Night at the Opera. I heard Liar on t.v. a while ago and it kicks so much ass. But nothing Queen has done will make them a pure prog band.

simply 'rock' bands." I think Queen fits that description quite well.
Face it: Queen is in the Archives. Queen is in the prog-related
section of the Archives. Queen will remain in the prog-related section
of the Archives. There isn't much you can do about it, so maybe it's
about time you stopped being so pedantic, moved on with your life, and
found something more important to care about. |
You get me wrong, for me is an honour that Queen is in the archives, my
thread is about knowing the few proggy moments of the band, I love
Queen and I think that prog-related is a big genre where you can
put a lot of great main-stream bands such as Electric Light Orchestra
or Foreigner or Toto.

White Queen is also one of my fav song
Another thing I want to add is that Mercury solo career suchs ("Living on my own" is a joke )
The only good album is the one with Monserrat Caballe "Barcelona".
That makes me think that May was the proggy head in the band (the solo albums are quite good)
Deacon is more and not-member of Queen than a member, but he write "Anorher one bites the dust", a good track
Finally, Taylor has great vocals and make good composition "I love with my car" cool one, but their solo records  .
I think that the "Queen" and "Queen II" are the most complex and prog
album of Queen, the rest are moments in their large discography

Well, considering that making you happy is the ultimate goal of my pale existence, here goes:
1. Prophet Song
2. March of the Black Queen
3. Father and Son
4. Bohemian Rhapsody
5. White Queen

I don`t think they we`re a glam rock band, his stle and commercial repercusion don`t fit in that category.
What it`s true is that Mercury alone was an example of glam rock  , but Queen as a band I don`t think so.
Roxy Music is a true example of glam rock and have a place in this site
