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.

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.

I'm not saying Queen were irrelevant, just not as grandoise as people believe
