Thanks Fire Down Under.

To all: Did you know that Lars "art paintings buyer" Ulrich did one NWOBHM compilation on 2 CDs ? In case... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Wave_o ... _Revisited


Cool to see SAXON's 747 (Strangers In The Night) mentionned several times. This song is MAGIC. Best opening riff of all time haha.

I didn't thought of CHATEAUX, but I could put "Spirit of The Chateaux" instead of my CLOVEN HOOF track. :)

Good call on 'into the nightmare'; I might need to slip 'don't beak the circle' onto my list, though I'm not sure what I'd cut

I purposefully left off Maiden, Leppard, and Venom, figuring newcomers would likely already know those bands anyway

I did that too. Although I did include a couple of tracks from those bands at first but I kept on thinking of more awesome songs and it was just convenient to leave them off. :p

I'm surprised nobody included a Black Sabbath or Rainbow(who began at about the same time as Motörhead) track yet. They were among the precursors for the NWOBHM along with Judas Priest and Motörhead and released albums in that period too!

Black Axe: For me RAINBOW is THE representative of "70's Heavy Metal", and thus they can't be included is the NWOBHM because they were the fathers of Heavy Metal, and they played and rose before the Punk wave (and NWOBHM bands did take inspiration of the Punk wave and leave the approach of bands like RAINBOW with their folk rock and prog rock elements).

6) Trespass - Jeaulosy
7) Tytan - blind men and fools
8 ) Tank - turn your head around

14) Dagster - bite the bullet
15) witchfynde - give 'em hell
16) witchfinder general - free country

but I love this period and is very difficult to choose only 20/25 songs..., so, of course, I forgot some others great songs... I can't live without my USB key with over 200 NWOBHM songs for my car :lol:

Battle At Helm's Deep Records ( :lol: ) wants only 15 songs but thanks to your great tastes they will do a bonus 12"LP with the extra songs you provide. 8)

The same goes for Priest and Motörhead who recorded their first albums in '74 & '75 respectively. Besides Motörhead are more rock and roll than metal.

Yes but Rainbow never became harder and faster during late 70's, did they ?

Priest changed their style, Motörhead too.
