I might be swayed by being a Brit, but I think the best heavy rock, hard rock, heavy metal etc came from these shores, Ireland, and Germany, through the 70`s, 80`s - excepting Van Halen. It all changed with Bon Jovi, and then the whole thing shifted to the US with Death, Grindcore, thrash.....(whatever that rubbish is).

I would have to agree. Deep Purple, Rainbow, Judas Priest... probably the best Rock of the 70's and 80's came from bands like that. British musicians became very creative at melding American Blues with hardcore Rock. Awesome stuff.
