New wave of british heavy metal. Probably the only thing that stopped punk from running the place, started when punk overtook the mainstream and rock was thrown underground. It was during this time (in my opinion) that metal was born, examples would be Iron maiden, Judas priest and AC/DC. When punk finally was realised to be shite, rock re-amerged as metal.
