Like both of them but hands down it’s Queen. Great Freddie ballad vs Willie Wilcox led vocal? No contest. Always thought that the chorus on the Utopia tune was a bit weak although I like the sound and feel of the song as a whole.
Lived with/loved Ra longer. Great deep track. Never could enjoy Jazz on vinyl. Wasn't til cd, that i could resequence. But this track is so minor compared to the bombast of rest of album. Love this Battle of the Title theme
God, I love the RA Lp from TRs Utopia... It blew my mind upon its initial release back in the 70s. I dig Queen, but its Todd all the way.
I stood outside the sold-out RA tour show in Asbury Park NJ and just listened. But, I did see the Day At the Races Tour gig at MS Garden in NYC (with Thin Lizzy opening...) Another mind blower!

Utopia all the way. The lead guitar solo .........what can I say.
Familiar (but not greatly) with both songs as deep album cuts.
Both songs are good, but the Queen ballad wins out.
Queen, for me. But love them both. :-)

The first one I ever heard, of those two, was Utopia and that'll always hold a place in my heart. Even over Freddy.
