NWOBHM or not NWOBHM that is the question.

Anyone heard any of the XDREAMYSTS stuff? Pitiful new-waveish power-pop, but somehow it demands a high price tag and is often listed as NWOBHM.
If memory serves, it's even on Vibrations Of Doom.
How many here have been suckered by dealers being "creative" with their genre classifications?

Please keep this a spandex free zone.

Venom without a doubt. Warfare as well

I can see this thread turning into a debate from two different parties.

Those that see NWOBHM as a "sub-genre" that entitles a specific sound and those that see it as a scene that all bands from the UK that played anything even remotely metallic are included as fair game.

And then there's the Metal vs. Hard Rock argument...

Damn, my bad.

That thread was before my time here, so I guess that would explain why I missed it.
