Song: Highway Star
Album: Machine Head
Year: 1972
Label: EMI
One of the most famous hard rock bands of the 70s was Deep Purple, and with Highway Star, they've solidified their status as one of the first heavy metal bands. The song Highway Star is about a maniac and his car, and the frantic speed of the song reflects on the chaotic audiotopic quality of the song. Ritchie Blackmoore's ability on the guitar, especially the solo, would lay the groundwork for metal guitarplaying for years to come.
