With "Q" up to the plate, you know I'm going with a Queen song. Even though "Stone Cold Crazy" has appeared on a handful of Queen compilation albums and is well-known in hard rock and metal circles for its influence, I have never heard it on the radio and I doubt many casual Queen fans know of its existence, so I think it qualifies as a "deep cut." This is a straight, ball-busting hard rock song off of the band's third album, 1974's Sheer Heart Attack. With it's heavy breakneck riff, screaming guitar solos, frenetically paced lyrics, and thundering rhythm section, it is rightfully considered a precursor to thrash metal. Of course, it's about a third as long as most thrash songs, but you can still see the influence.
