Type of music in lead, for example? (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heavy metal

This clue is a double definition.

'type of music' is the first definition.
(heavy metal is a music genre)

'lead for example?' is the second definition.
(lead is a heavy metal)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for heavy metal that I've seen before include "guitar is thrashed in it" , "Loud form of rock" , "hard rock" , "kind of rock" , "Iron" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
