foundations for British pop rock and made the UK the world center of popular
music.

as ABBA (Swedish, but popular in Britain), Olivia Newton-John, David Bowie, and
Queen brought new stylistic directions and stage shows.1990s–2000s: The

Metal in the UK
In the 1970s, the first bands to experiment with a heavier sound emerged in the
UK, moving toward more aggressive and intense music. However, the
development of metal in the UK during this period was overshadowed by
American bands.
In the 1980s, British bands began to gain popularity, adding their own unique
twist to the genre. The influence of such great British bands as Judas Priest and
Iron Maiden was noticeable.
In the 1990s, British metal became more integrated with other styles, from
thrash and death metal to alternative metal. This era saw the emergence of bands
such as Paradise Lost (death metal), My Dying Bride, and Anathema, which
incorporated gothic and dramatic-melodic elements.
Doom metal and progressive metal also developed, with bands such as Anathema
and Porcupine Tree gaining international recognition.

(mid-1970s): British punk emerged as a protest against the commercialization of
music, elitism, and the dullness of the existing rock scene.
In 1976–1977, the Sex Pistols became a symbol of punk with their rebellious
spirit, aggressive style, and sharp lyrics. Their album "Never Mind the Bollocks"
is considered a classic of the genre.
Alongside them, bands such as The Clash, Buzzcocks, Siouxsie and the Banshees,
and The Damned developed energy, vigor, and an anti-conformist spirit.
After the early 1980s, the punk industry continued to evolve, spawning subgenres
and new forms.
