DON'T DO THIS TO ME!!! LOL
Ok... err... yes, I'll go with Queen... no... oh heck... errrr..... the Who?
Nah, I'll go with Queen as it's more proggy. But over a very narrow margin, that will make me doubt my IQ.

I am just a skinny lad who never knew no good from bad, but I’ll go with Queen ... versatility. From hard rock (We Will Rock You) to rock opera (Bohemian Rhapsody) to funk (Another One Bites the Dust) to rockabilly (Crazy Little Thing Called Love), etc. etc. Plus, I like Bicycles! Bicycles!! Bicycles!!! Bi-cy-cleeeeee!!!!

Two seminal rock acts whom have each to their own carved their valleys of success. Which makes them herritage to so much to prize them for. Quite rightly so they are held to much esteem. I feel there is a very even tieh imo, both have power, eløegance, flair and substance. But I lean towards the Who they feel a little bit more important to the overall rock idealm which Queen also are in debt to. You can't overlook the ibfluence of the bands whom are under the 'british invation' umbrella. But both acts are beutifull and made ao much good music.

The Who. Simply more albums I care about. After the first four Queen albums, I am done.

Absolutely the Who! It´s one of the rare bands doing really many contrary styles in it´s career and really successfully, for example prog & punk. Queen is quite much one style band, although not bad specially in the seventies.

At the end of the day I'll go with The Who because of what albums like Tommy mean to me.

The Who without thought one.  Queen was a good act but the Who had an effect on all of rock music for a life time.

No contest whatsoever. the ‘oo, every night of every day, of every year, of every century, of every millennium. Townsend is a genius, not a description you could place on any member of Queen, no matter how talented they were.

Comparing those who brought us Tommy and Quadrophenia against those responsible for Another One Bites the Dust? Then again, I've never spun Queen II. Any good?

Queen for me.
The first three albums are brilliant, and while they do get patchy from A Night at the Opera onwards,  there is always something good on each album.  
I must admit to really disliking some of their well known tracks now such as You're My Best Friend,  Don't Stop Me Now,  Killer Queen,  and Somebody to Love as they are so commercial and not representative to what the albums sound like
