Heavy Metal has a really sweet soundtrack, and thankfully none of it is metal. Rather the soundtrack is full of classic rock songs, some of which were made specifically for certain animation sequences in the film. The above track was written by Don Felder for the introduction sequence which has the astronaut burning through space in a white corvette, but was eventually used for the start of the B-17 scene. The soundtrack is great on its own, but best experienced along with the movie itself! Download it here. OR you can buy it here.
