It's hard to compare so different albums. But I vote for "Physical Graffiti": Zeppelin is my fav hard rock band.

Both great 70s British heavy rock albums but i voted for Queen II as a sligthly more - as somebody already said - "magical" album as well...

Not a fair comparison....Queen II is a lot of fun, but Graffiti is prime Zeppelin. An iconic album that defined 70s rock. Queen II spent the mid 70s and 80s in relative obscurity only to be revived when a famous singer revealed that his favorite album of all-time was Queen II. The revival has been interesting considering how overlooked it had always been.

Queen 2 is a fine album. Quite a step up from the debut. Powerful, dramatic, pretty damn' awesome.
One of the things I like about Graffiti are the numbers that are not obviously classic. For me the Boogie With Stu and other out takes from sessions just add a character to the album statement. It's not a concept album, nor a standard one but demonstrates a diversity in styles that I find welcoming and less predictable. Can't imagine Black Sabbath (for example) doing a Down By The Seaside). The only query I have with this album, is Sick Again's lyrics. I've never been one for songs about rock and roll rock star life styles...
Not sure I see the relationship between the two albums though. A Night At The Opera v. Graffiti? Or II versus II maybe? Where does the significance happen?

Axel Rose raved about the album in a rock mag interview in the late 80s bringing it out of relative obscurity ("relative" being the key word - could any Queen LP ever really be considered obscure?), the Kurt Cobain did the same a few years later and the popularity of the album rose. I actually checked out Guns n Roses 'cause of that interview.....not my taste, but the acoustic side of GnR Lies ain't bad.
