FOR PINS?!!!?!?!?!! Queens are the worst pieces at pinning because if the piece is defended then the queen can't exchange for a more valuable piece.
Would you rather have white with this,
or this,
Conclusion: Bishops are much better for pinning than queens.

If they're female, how come they can promote to bishops? The members of the clergy are all male, you don't see a pawn promoting to nun!
And what the hell is a rook?
I can't believe you're asking this! Don't you ever even talk to your pieces? Each pawn is a group of soldiers, so in each group they have at least one that can promote to any of the pieces.
No, you're WRONG!!!
Pawns are hermaphrodites. I learned that valuable information as I was talking to my chess set last night.
I thought that pawns were pawns...
White to lose
Good grief...(some people have imagination)
I think that personal style has a lot to do with which pieces are more valuable to a player as well. An opening book favoring closed positions will tend to value knights more, for example. I personally like using rooks and bishops most, but will use whatever i can in any position i create (with help from my opponent, of course).
Tyranny of the weak is also important when considering pins, as was commented on earlier. Bishops tend to be more effective due to their value, but Queens are certainly up for task in many positions.
Some of the comments are hilarious, like...
Beautiful and ugly queens LOL
and white to lose ROFL
Love you guys

Gabriel has a point 
The new perspective is about to emerge. In the world we live in, Chess "The Game" should be equal opportunity. So,when pawn can promote to Bishop , it should also get an equal chance to be a nun ! 
btw, can some one draw me an image of a chess nun? how would that be?

The queen can reach from 21 to 27 of the 64 squares on an empty chessboard, depending on where she is placed. Two rooks, 28 squares. Two bishops, 25 squares.
Now, on an occupied board, who is less likely to have many/most of its squares blocked -- queen, two rooks, two bishops, etc.
BTW, it depends on the pawn value you assign pieces. Some assign rooks 5, others 4.5.
Rooks, bishops, and queens are all long range pieces. The queen is more flexible, since it can shift between moving along files, ranks, and the full set of diagonals.
Then consider that rooks in the opening and middleame are generally notall that powerful. They need open files or ranks. Queens benefit, but they don't require them. Likewise, bishops need open diagonals to be powerful. Queens benefit, but don't require them.
In addition, absolute movement is not nearly as relevant as the number of squares available for the piece to occupy. Generally, queens will be able to occupy more squares than rooks or bishops. That gives them more potential in most games.
Yes, context matters. There are games where queens get locked in or sit as passive spectators. One can underemploy rooks and bishops, too.
The queen is generally a superior tactical piece for pins, discovered attacks, etc.
Agree!
kings more powerful
boards broke
