Yeah, I knew that's the band Bruce came from, but I've never listened to their stuff. For some reason, I've just always passed over it in stores, etc.

Scorpions can;t be considered for a couple of reasons, they had been around since the early 70's (same for Judas Priest who was not part of the NWOBHM movement) and more importantly THEY ARE NOT BRITISH but German.

 

[See You In Hell]

Wow, now this is a tough one. I'm not into a lot of NWOBHM bands in general but two of my all time favorite metal bands in any sub-genre are Iron Maiden and Saxon. Picking 6 songs is a daunting task indeed. Nonetheless, here goes....

1 - Saxon - "Denim and Leather"
2 - Saxon - "Broken Heroes"
3 - Iron Maiden - "Where Eagles Dare"
4 - Iron Maiden - "Aces High"
5 - Iron Maiden - "The Trooper"
6 - Grim Reaper - "See You in Hell"

[Pellaz]

I'm not too familiar with the genre either (aside from the bigger names), but just seeing the name Tygers of Pan Tang makes me want to scream "Blood and souls for my Lord Arioch!" and start cleaving my way through enemies with my howling runesword.

I've got at least one of their albums on vinyl....pity I have no way to play it anymore.
Anyone have any thoughts on the 2-CD NWOBHM compilation that Lars Ulrich put together years ago? That one's lurking around here somewhere, too.

Diamond Head - Sucking My Love
Iron Maiden - Phantom of the Opera
Def Leppard - Overture
Def Leppard - Another Hit and Run
Europe - Seven Doors Hotel
Judas Priest - Victim of Changes
