I think you could argue that Queen influenced a lot of power metal bands. Blind Guardian being a notable example; but to say Queen essentially
started power metal is something completely different.

Agree with a lot of this, but the band got away with a lot of lesser songs thanks to Freddie Mercury's vocal ability to carry them through.

I do agree with this. Particularly in the 80s, Queen had some weaker material which was carried by the sheer vocal ability of Freddie.
