I actually think that Queen are a fantastic band, one of me favourites, but not prog.

I cannot vote in you poll, because it lacks the option "Partially prog and good".
IMO their first three albums have a lot of progressive songs (Queen I, Queen II, Sheer Heart Attack), and Queen II can be called a Prog album. As a band, they don't belong here. But Queen II must be here.

Great band, borderline prog (art rock is a fuzzy subsection).

A good pop/rock band, who used a lot of progressive moves on their first
few albums. Then again, so did many heavy-ish rock bands in the early
seventies. Definitely not prog, in my view.

just because a band has progressive albums or songs does not make that band progressive.
you've got to have an opinion as to how many albums or songs it takes to be able to be
called progressive or not

Well, one complete album is a good start, and this rule seems to be the one used by the admins ... but there are exceptions to every rule ...

I'll keep this short and sweet:
1) Queen are the best rock band ever.
2) Their early albums (from Queen to A Day at the Races) fit my personal idea of Art-Rock, so I see no inconvinient in having them here.

Not all particularly prog, though they have their moments. Don't care if they are or aren't included here.
Mostly unexceptional (not bad, just not my thing, too many guitars and feeble harmonies), though they have their moments (Bohemian Rhapsody, Killer Queen, Who Wants To Live Forever, Innuendo are all great)

Not 100 % Prog, and very very good up to and including the year 1978. After that they got less interesting, though still pretty good.

They are 'Prog Related'
I think the categorisation on this site is spot on with regard to Queen. They are not all out prog, but have made some albums/songs which have fused genres and styles and have elements of experimentation.
Whether you like them or not, I'm surprised you needed to ask...
