Nice original choises. That belgian Killer especially is pretty good. I never understood the love for Samson though. They're ok for me but surely not on any of my TOP lists. I'm interested in what makes them so good for you?omen of hate wrote:Here are a few more :
WARNING (FRA) - I
SAMSON - Shock Tactics
KILLER (BEL) - Wall of Sound
TRUST - Marche ou Crève
MORE - Warhead
KILLER (SWI) - Lady Killer

I don't know, I can't explain. I know they're not the most groundbreaking NWOBHM act, but I like them since ages. Dickinson's voice fits their music really well.The Erlking wrote:Nice original choises. That belgian Killer especially is pretty good. I never understood the love for Samson though.

I'm the other way around. WoS is mediocre to my ears, I much prefer the debut.The Erlking wrote:Nice original choises. That belgian Killer especially is pretty good.
