Were Queen prog?
Good portions of their stuff up until ADatR was, yeah.
They were a glam/prog hybrid for their first four albums, especially on Queen II.

Not really.
More arena/glam rock than anything
Kinda sorta not really but maybe

This is as close to the correct answer that has been posted so far.
I could understand how the first two albums could be considered "Prog" since there is a lot of prog rock elements there, but, as the original poster said, there was also a lot of glam as well.

And a lot of outright hard rock ala Zeppelin and Purple.

>muh full stadiums

>muh diversity
hell, even black sabbath were diverse back in the 70's, that's the 70's thing
I'm not saying Queen were irrelevant, just not as grandoise as people believe
