Well, i would put "Stone Cold Crazy" right behind "Sheer Heart Attack" and "Gimme The Prize".
"White Man" follows at #4.

I don't really know about the heaviest, but the lightest is "Dear Friends" as it only has a few lines and a bit of piano. Or maybe the Piano contributed to it being heavier than I first thought.

Tear It Up and Put Out The Fire are heavy but not fast
Ogre Battle, Dead On Time, or Sheer Heart Attack are my picks, but the Metallica version of Stone Cold Crazy might be the winner.
Flick Of The Wrist kinda has that heaviness too...
Of all the posts I may agree with this one the most, at least about Ogre Battle (top spot IMO), Dead on Time or SHA. I'd say Gimme the Prize is up there as well, and I wanna thank you guys for reminding me of it! FotW has some heavy spots in it, which I like, but it's not heavy from beginning to end--I'd say it's about as heavy as Keep Yourself Alive. Brighton Rock, I can't make up my mind about it?
Put Out the Fire I don't think is heavy really at all. As much as I like Tear It Up because it's funny, it is harder rock for 80's Queen but I think of it as just loud rather than truly heavy. I guess it's a matter of personal taste. That's my two cents.

Sheer heart attack is not heavy at all;
it's just fast and loud punk, I think..
I guess Ogre Battle(maybe an origin of epic metal) or Gimme the prize is the heaviest.

gsparaco - I take it you looked in the Jazz liner notes?! Yes, the thunderbolt is credited to the greater force above, but in reality, Brian went out in a thunderstorm with a portable audio recorder and hey presto! Just another mindless fact from the Queen part of my brain. And people say Queen weren't experimental past ADATR...

Agreed: heavy, heavy, heavy. Makes Gimme the Prize sound like a kid's lullaby.
See What a Fool I've Been is also near the top of the heavy list.

Dead On Time, if the drum production wasn't so tinny, it would really trash through the album.

Gimme The Prize is heavy, but, again, it's the production that brings it down, amazing song, terrible recording.

I've followed Queen since the beginning and I believe their heaviest hit is Sheer heart attack. Followed by any number of hits,
My favorite being.... NOW I'M HERE! The rest of my list includes:
Modern times rock and roll
sweet lady
liar
Gimme the prize
tear it up
Hammer to fall
Brighton rock (off of live killers)
Get down make love (from live at the bowl)
These are just the ones I always thought of as heavy hits. I'm sure there are others that would qualify!
In 1975 I was center stage and in the third row when Queen started their show with Procession. Freddie rose out of the fog on the first note of Father to Son!The stage exploded in sound and I was hooked for life! I was also deaf for three days after the show but wow, what a show!

I Go Crazy.
I can't believe only one other person cited it. Is it the heaviest? Maybe not, but it's a solid classic rocker!

Believe it or not I'd never heard this song before! Hmm, it's pretty good. My vote for heaviest is still Ogre Battle or Gimme the Prize.

Stone Cold Crazy, Hangman, Sheer Heart Attack.
I'd love to hear the version of SHA recorded during the SHA sessions

Absolutely White Man. It is out and out pure heavy rock. The brilliance of it is that they're British and they did a song about the injustice done to the American Indians. Don't know why it never got the recognition it deserved. Maybe only Americans could appreciate it, it should have gone over much better here. Whether or not other countries could relate, it's just a great rock song.
