    Neither. The Red Rocker's vocals irritate me. Montrose excluded.

    First heavy metal song?

    This isn't all about me. How about your description/definition of "traditional heavy metal"? Maybe your account of the genre will motivate me. The Wikipedia definition will not be accepted. :D

    Sons of Apollo - Psychotic Symphony(2017): a new supergroup featuring the "fastest" drummer in the world, Mike Portnoy. Nothing ground breaking. Straight ahead, middle-of-the-road prog-metal. With that being said, it's very well done.

    Battle of hard rock albums from 1979: Lovedrive or Van Halen II?

    Gotta go with the Scorps. 'Lovedrive' and 'Taken By Force' are neck in neck. 'II' was a very good follow-up to their debut.

    First heavy metal song?
