Top Ten Songs Before the 1980s that Most Influenced Power, Speed, and Neoclassical Metal

The Top Ten

1 Highway Star - Deep Purple

I've found on YouTube an isolated guitar track of this song - man, it's more impressive than it sounds on the song.

Especially the riff for the speed metal and solo for the neoclassical metal.

2 A Light In the Black - Rainbow

3 Warrior - Riot

4 Kill the King - Rainbow

5 Hard Lovin' Man - Deep Purple

This is where metal started (1970)

6 Narita - Riot

7 Ride the Sky - Lucifer's Friend

8 Set Me Free - The Sweet

9 Burn - Deep Purple

10 Eruption - Van Halen

The Contenders
