THREE WORDS: STONE COLD CRAZY.
I believe that song influenced THRASH METAL bands like Metallica and Megadeth etc etc ....
I saw Metallica last weekend live at Knebworth (Sonisphere Festival) and they played Stone Cold Crazy in their setlist. They gave a brief speech about how Queen have obviously influenced them, and SCC is a pre-thrash song.

Queen was an influence to Metallica (or James Hetfield at least), one of the most successful metal bands around (although I prefer Megadeth)
I wouldn't say "influence", they (James and Lars at least) are just fans
If you listen to the guitar style "Orchestra" in some of kirk hammets guitar tone you'll hear an influence.

How about the Troggs- Wild Thing... to me that is the definition of a heavy metal song.
So that's why it's considered one of the first punk songs, right ?
This song was recorded in the 60's.. conisdered more heavy metal than punk.. if you have read John Densmore's book Riders on the Storm.. he called it heavy metal... punk was purely a 70's creation.
