Riot`s 'Warrior', that`s for sure. Other than that, I`m sorry, I know next to nothing about the music from that era.

Scorpions-Dark Lady
Scorpions-Virgin Killer
Lucifer's Friend-Ride in the sky
Budgie-Breadfan
Triumph-Street Fighter

And some nice ones a bit later:

Impeccable-Livewire
Axxe-Through the night
Survivor-New order
Nokemono-Ant Hell

The first ones that came in my mind. If I squeezed my brain I could come with some more...

Try Neil Norman's "Tits From Mars" from 1974.

Glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read that title.

Sure we've had this thread before, & sure someone nominated "The Red & the Black". Nice to see all these titles cited tho'.

Two pretty speedy/aggressive tracks from 1972:

Night Sun - Plastic Shotgun

Jerusalem - Frustration

Another 1972 badass tune. Some neanderthal speed metal riffing appears about one minute into the song.

Tiger B. Smith - Tiger Rock

Ha,ha... I was trying myself to remember if there were any fast numbers in these albums but I couldn't remember well.

Tiger Rock is pretty ferocious as well.

I think the riff after the intro on this one qualifies for this thread:
Psiglo (Uruguay) - Vuela A Mi Galaxia (1972 single version)

I could have sworn the same thing. I'm too lazy to look for it at the moment though. If anyone wants to do the dirty work and post the link I'll merge the two threads later.
