This week's nominees are from one of the most famous and popular branches of metal, the New Wave of British Heavy Metal...this is the metal a lot of us children of the 70s and 80s grew up with...dig.
There are so many bands to pick from, so to make the voting that much tougher, I pick only two:
The Ace of Spades by Motorhead
Run to the Hills by Iron Maiden

motorhead and iron maiden both fit but neither seem to me to be the most definitive of the NWOBHM movement... I voted for maiden because they sound more like the other bands that were a part of that, and though motorhead is like metal with a dirty punk vibe I think they totally transcend NWOBHM- I guess the same with maiden too... they're just classic. fucking. metal. word.
ever heard "helpless" by diamond head? THAT defines NWOBHM for me. man, does that song rule...
Strong, strong point...I think I got fed up with the ties and wanted to give fewer choices. Diamond Head might be the penultimate NWOBM band...
