      It wasn't hard rock. It was Heavy Rock. But yeah the stuff that came out between the late sixties in the first couple years of the 70s massively influenced everything from punk to thrash to grunge to you name it. You can symphonic black metal wouldn't exist if it wasn't for that stuff. That later musical complexity stuff borrowing from classical ? What Uriah Heep, early Judas Priest, and Jethro to name the more famous guys and a host of other more obscure acts were doing was the progressive and complex Heavy Rock stuff very early on, we were not that's supposed to really influential on black metal. Influence is a weird thing for example Bathory was heavily influenced by a mix of early influences. they were listening not only to Black Sabbath and Motorhead but they're also listening to Kiss. And punk stuff like GBH and the Exploited.
      The 60s and 70s were a far more interesting and influential era of time musically than conventionally realized.

      I'm not sure about its influence on punk. I guess it had an impact and they certainly influenced hardcore and grunge acts, but classic punk main influences were garage rock bands like The Stooges. You can call those bands hard rock though, but they didn't play the exactly same brand of hard rock as Led Zeppelin or Deep Purple.

The basis of early punk was actually really more like bands like the New York Dolls, Slade (which ironically was also one of the greatest influences musically on kiss, Alice Cooper, quiet riot, twisted sister later, in the whole 1980s glam metal stuff that evolved) and similar glam bands. Also the stuff coming-out if Detroit like the MC5, and Iggy Pop and the stooges. Punk was a reaction to bands like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath and Deep Purple. What muddies the water these days is that they're all just sort of variance of heavy Rock.metal, hardcore, punk, Hard Rock, they're all really just forms of Heavy Rock and the seeds for them sll were all floating around underground rock scenes between 1966 and 70.

    Excellent curation. That Sweet song always instantly strikes me as obvious metal as soon as I hear it. They're of course categorized in the glam rock section, but they definitely had proto-metal leanings at times. ONE mere omission (IMHO - and apologies, I'm sure you get this a lot) might be the MC5's "Gotta Keep Movin'" from High Times (1971).

    Queen’s Stone Cold Crazy can definitely be the first to be called thrash, but like Jimi Hendrix it took a few years for a band to solidify the tone, and 12:29 Riot’s Warrior seems definitive. So is the Scorpions’ “He’s a woman She’s a Man” and that Angel Witch number shortly after. It’s the fusion of punk and metal elements that makes it definitive.

    Most people who get into heavy music starting at Sabbath or Deep Purple or similar don't know how incredibly heavy mid to late 60s real acid rock was. Crank the 13th Floor Elevators 1966 album The Psychedelic Sounds Of or the Airplane's 1968 House At Pooneil Corner on your car sound system sometime.
    Heaviness is more of a continuum than something that just popped out of thin air. The problem is that the further back you go the harder it gets to recognize it because the instruments, musical language, and sound reinforcement methods change. But the driving heaviness doesn't.
    There's a reason Sabbath and most of the 60s bands were so influenced by blues for example, they recognized it. That's hard for us to hear today because the blues have become such a cliche and watered down, and because a lot of the old stuff was quieter and more subtle, often acoustic or barely amplified, because late 60s sound reinforcement tools didn't exist yet .
