Maybe not, but we did in the 70s in the UK. Again, retrospective definitions have clouded what was hard rock in the UK in the 70s. The best description would be to say that hard rock was the family head and some of the family members were heavy blues, heavy metal, space rock, acid rock, heavy R n B, and progressive ROCK, the emphasis being on rock i.e. the prog rock bands that were actually playing a heavy form of rock e.g. Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, not necessarily on every album though.
Heavy rock in the 70s was what we called the form of hard rock that later became commonly known as heavy metal. Heavy metal is really a retrospective term that only came into common usage in the late 70s with NWOBHM i.e. despite the term NWOBHM, there was no OWOBHM, we simply called it heavy rock in the UK.

First you need to read up on what hard rock means because you obviously don't know what it meant in the UK in the 60s and 70s. Read some UK books mags from the period.
Cream, Hendrix and Vanilla Fudge were all considered hard rock back in the day. And are you telling me that Pink Floyd made NO songs in the 60s or 70s that were heavier than Cream?
If you think so, then you clearly haven't listened to Piper, Saucer, AHM or Meddle.
Also, I've noticed you seem to have an inability to respect and accept what anyone from the UK, USA or anywhere else says about the musical history of their country.
You ARE NOT the final authority on terminology. So get over yourself!

The case of "hard rock band King Crimson" is similar to above mentioned Pink Floyd. Mr Fripp certainly wanted heavier sound at Red, but he was caught another "zeigeist" and, although he touched different styles, he remained Prog throughout his career, so King Crimson never were a hard rock band, such as this:

Silverhead were a brilliant band indeed.
That's the 70s genre called *hard rock*. A perfect example of it.
