Początkowy, lecz już wyraźnie ukształtowany heavy metal, można zaobserwować w muzyce grup Led Zeppelin i Black Sabbath. Jeśli chodzi o korzenie, to jedni upatrują prototypu utworu heavymetalowego w piosence The Beatles "Helter-Skelter" (z Białego Albumu) lub The Kinks "You Really Got Me", inni zaś za pierwsze utwory protoheavymetalowe uznają przeboje grupy The Dave Clark Five, szczególnie "Any Way You Want It" i "Glad All Over" z 1964 roku. Zresztą nurt zapoczątkowany przez The Dave Clark Five nazywa się heavy drum albo heavy bass, od ciężkiego, hałaśliwego i agresywnego brzmienia.

Bad City Rollers - Youre a Woman
When I walk down the street

See the people who stop and stare and say
Haven't I seen that face somewhere a long time ago
When I walk down the street

See the stranger who says
Why, Hi,
With a
How you going, Buddy,
When you walked on by I thought I'd say hallo

They say:
Haven't I seen your face before
Weren't you the boy that used to live next door

Weren't you on television ev'ry night
Haven't I seen you round
Take a look at me
I'm YESTERDAY'S HERO

YESTERDAY'S HERO
that's all I be.

Take a look at me
I'm YESTERDAY'S HERO

And YESTERDAY'S HERO
is all that I'm gonna be
If I don't get together

make a new start and be somebody better

AII that I'll be if I don't get together now.

VVhen you walk down the street
now

If you know me
then pass me by

If you wonder what I'm doing don't ask me why

I don't read the news.

When you walk down the street

If you're sorry then don't feel bad

If you followed my story
then just be glad

You ain't in my shoes.

Because

Haven't you seen my face before

Yes
I was the boy who used to live next door

Yes
I was on television ev'ry night

Haven't you seen me round.
Take a look at me
I'm YESTERDAY'S HERO
