I think they fooled you, brah. Listen to "Stone Cold Crazy" arguably their "rawest" and "edgiest" song - it seems edgier, raw, undecided, as you say - and it is arguably the first speed metal song ever recorded.


I meant their ideas were raw as was their musical direction. Never said they weren't masters in the studio or were shitty musicians that got better over time. I'm well aware of Brian Mays prowess with a guitar even in Smile.

sorry brah

I'm tracking. My favorite band, Def Leppard, cites Queen, along with T-Rex, Mott the Hoople, David Bowie and Led Zeppelin as their key influences (and all of these groups, especially the Brits don't have to say, "And of course, the Beatles"). Queen's sound would be reflected in the subequent waves, particularly NWOBHM (and hair metal, as I suggested) and AOR of the mid-to-late 70s.
