The earliest music commonly identified as heavy metal came out of the Birmingham area of the United Kingdom in the late 1960s when bands such as Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath applied an overtly non-traditional approach to blues standards and created new music often based on blues scales and arrangements.

Probly not strickly UK though :zombie:

I think punk started in the US in the early 70s with people like the Iggy Pop, The Stooges and The Ramones, MC5 etc.
