Of those two, Rush, but I really don't listen to either band that much.
Personally, my favorite band would be Edguy/Avantasia. Yeah, they're technically two different bands, but Tobias has kept their music relatively similar over the years:
Close runner-ups would be Nightwish, Stratovarius, Sabaton, and Iron Maiden.

Nah, Beatles still got that on lock. The amount of great music they produced in under 10 years was just incredible.
I have to go with Rush, since one of their albums, and one of their songs in particular literally saved my life. Keeping me from doing something very stupid as a kid, during the darkest time of my life is definitely marks as the "best band ever" in my personal playbook. Plus I've always loved their music and still do. So, yeah, Rush it is.
Queen was my pick before this page even loaded. Rush is...okay. I'm not sure they'd make my top twenty. If I had one. Which I don't. Because I don't do lists like that.
Even though technically you didn't!
But joking aside, I'm curious as to what you mean specifically by more prominent.
I say "I think," because there are three bands higher which are all on my "sleep" mix and thus things I don't really listen to. There was six or so months where it was scrobbling tracks playing while I was asleep, though I told it not to. It totally breaks my top ten.
...which I would know, if I ever logged into Last.fm.
Which I don't.
Because I always forget.
Because I have the attention span of a goldfish.
Ooh! Shiny! *runs off*
Stop promoting your band, Stevie!Colour Scientist said:
I'm reminded of an old joke. Well, old now. The Spice Girls have a lifetime achievement award. Finally, something for Michael Jackson to aspire to.Private Custard said:

Interesting measure. I think by Last.fm standards, Queen actually is my best band ever.DizzyChuggernaut said:

Queen take the top spot for me to, albums like Queen II showcase what an amazing variety of writing and musical talent the band had. Plus live they sounded absolutely amazing. I am actually going to see Queen+Adam Lambert live in January next year.
This is of course a subjective thing though like favourite of anything, but for me personally there is no comparison.

My mood fluctuates pretty wildly when it comes to Rush, sometimes I think they're one of the best progressive rock bands ever and other times I think they're one of the most boring bands to ever reach mainstream popularity.
There has never been a moment in my life where I ever wanted to skip a Queen song, so out of the two I'm going to have to go with them.
Killing Joke is the correct answer though.

Considering that I believe that Bohemian Rhapsody should replace God Save The Queen as the English national anthem, Queen wins this one.
Seriously, play this to a crowd of people and just try to stop them singing. God Save The Queen...not so much.
Also, this poll is lacking in Devin Townsend options.

I objectively determined that Rush and Queen are the best bands.Littaly said:I thought you said this was down to popular opinion, then quality per song shouldn't matterSouplex said:
The popular opinion is for breaking their tie.
Of the two, I gotta say Queen and it ain't even close. I like both bands but, while they have some shit, Queen's good albums are incredibly good.
I dunno if I have a favourite band, personally. My favourite album is Grace by Jeff Buckley but, like much of the internet, most of the bands I listen to are playing the pub circuit in Somalia or recording grim and frostbitten one-man black metal into their Sony Ericsson.

I'm not promoting my own band, those are just rumours. Although, if this were a real poll, we would win by a landslide, other bands would only win in their dreams. You'd have to be some sort of gypsy not to vote for usZachary Amaranth said:
I don't know what the chain of events would be that would not lead us to victory, Fleetwood Mac make lovin' fun.
I'm not trying to discourage other bands though, you know? Don't stop thinking about tomorrow, if you go your own way, it may work out for you.
Ah, something something tusk something.

Well, a few of my favorite songs are by Queen, but I like more of Rush's songs, so if I really have to decide I'll have no choice but to go with Judas Priest. No wait I changed my mind! I pick AC/DC!
Wait a minute, wait a minute! It's Rush.

Oh my God, that was so good it hurt.Colour Scientist said:
I don't know whether to applaud or point to the doll.
Of those two? Queen I guess, but that's because the only Rush song I can name is Spirit of the Radio. The real question is, of course, Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin?
I'm kidding. Everyone knows it's Sabbath.

That's one of my three favorite Beatles songs, so each to their own, I guess. Play it backwards and read up on the "Paul is Dead" conspiracy. I don't buy into the conspiracy but the connections are remarkable in their way.Souplex said:
Bonus points if you listen to it backwards while alone in a pitch-black room.
But yes, I wouldn't pick Rush or Queen. I'm more into Harry Nilsson, Babes in Toyland, The Beatles, The Who, Nirvana, King Crimson, The Doors, and The Hollies (actually, The Hollies before Graham Nash quit the band).
Oh yeah - and '70s UK punk. I'd take that any day over Rush or Queen!
