Just as an aside to the argument over the relative merits (or lack therof) of the HEAVY METAL soundtrack. The movie was not named HEAVY METAL because of the music. It was named after the anthology comic magazine that inspired the movie. The movie was even structured the same way as the HEAVY METAL magazine. HEAVY METAL, as defined by the contents of the magazine, was a reference to the sex and extreme violence present in the comic. It was not a reference to a musical style.
