History of heavy metal music, who or what band started it all??
Just came across a site where the origins of heavy metal music were being discussed. There seems no definitive answer that I can see as to what group began the genre. However I am wondering if there is any advance( an earlier date) than the work and music of the group some ordinary punters credited with heavy metal’s genesis( as in state-of-the-art world standard heavy metal, not just high volume bang screech bang) being the English group BUDGIE. This group began in 1968 and their classics are easily seen/ heard on Youtube. Key in titles such as Breadfan,( and turn it up loud), I Aint No Mountain, Baby Please Dont Go, to get an idea. No doubt there was people groups producing similar genuine heavy metal music before Budgie but if so just who were they and was their music just as good.And also what dates could be attributed to the earliest pioneers.
