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.

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. :-)

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

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

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!
