A musical quandary

Queen or Roxy Music?

I can't decide.

Queen, no question. Roxy had campier album covers, but Queen had the whole package.

By the way, I'm not ranking by musical preference but by camp value.

[deadmoviestar]

Oh, I should have been clearer -- I was actually looking for musical preference.

Neither one do much for me. They seem at opposite ends of the pop spectrum. Queen was all bombast and balls while Roxy Music's sound is almost womb-like. If that makes sense.

Ooooh, I have deep love for them both. And they both use campy, tongue-in-cheek bombast to deliver their goods. I tend to think that Roxy has a deeper catalog but Queen, for some reason (and it could be nostalgia, since half my 8-track collection as a 7th-grader was Queen records), hits me deeper when they're good.
