menawati: Brit 80's Metal (NWOBHM)

menawati 11.14.12	if you have any nwobhm faves not on here then fire away (but no priest, motorhead, budgie etc they aint nwobhm)
Trebor. 11.14.12	Lots of work, great list Will get 10 comments
menawati 11.14.12	hehe thankyou anyway
menawati 11.14.12	yes i think they suck overall too but their first 2 albums were sorta ok
menawati 11.14.12	fuk i shoulda done a computer games list instead
menawati 11.14.12	check out tysondog if u not heard http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aY--4Gr4ULM&feature=related
SitarHero 11.14.12	People who think Def Lep suck, suck. But sweet list indeed. Hold on though. When did Priest get booted from the NWOBHM crowd?
menawati 11.14.12	they just rode the wave imo and adjusted their sound, nwobhm is a movement imo and not a genre
Chortles 11.14.12	omg dude this is just that much more stuff to check out down the road, you are a master bookmarked
menawati 11.14.12	some of the albums further down are very patchy tho dont expect the world hehe
beefshoes 11.14.12	8 is so underrated.
Atari 11.14.12	"people who think def lep suck, suck" [2] cool feature menawati. as you know i love maiden and i checked out diamond head the other day and they ruled. i'll check the rest of these out :)
menawati 11.14.12	"although where in the name of all that is hubberd is The Number Of The Beast? Also, no Priest makes list invalid" Number of the Beast is mentioned in 1, I didnt want Maiden to dominate the list. Judas Priest isnt nwobhm
Atari 11.14.12	lol menawati i've learned people don't read the descriptions in the lists they're too damn lazy. on my mario ranked list i specifically said i wasn't including paper mario or mario RPG'S and then got like 50 people asking about paper mario hehe
Jethro42 11.14.12	m/
JamieTwort 11.14.12	Great list.
Emim 11.14.12	fuck yeah diamond head
Atari 11.14.12	checking out praying mantis right now on youtube. just too cool of a band name to not check them out
menawati 11.14.12	try children of the earth first atari if u dont like that forget the rest of the album
Atari 11.14.12	i am checking that one first i saw your comment above i actually read lists unlike some people :D
Havey 11.15.12	5 for maiden? mena man i thought you had higher standards than that
menawati 11.15.12	i love maidens debut its one of my all time favorites
Atari 11.15.12	Hell yeah and no standards are too high for maiden
ViperAces 11.15.12	Great list man
ReturnToRock 11.15.12	I never got how come Leppard and Venom are considered NWOBHM but Priest aren't. The former are (or became) glam rock, and the latter are proto-thrash metal, whereas Priest is full-on heavy metal. Anyway, good list. Might want to add Hawkwind, although I guess they're more prog/space rock than metal.
ReturnToRock 11.15.12	Also, is it just me or do Tygers of Pan Tang have the stupidest lyrics ever? BTW - Thin Lizzy bro!
JamieTwort 11.15.12	Priest were around long before the NWOBHM movement.
scissorlocked 11.16.12	god, awesome list
menawati 11.16.12	@returntorock Some people look at nwobhm as a genre and in that case there are a some 70's metal bands that rode the wave and adjusted their sound in some cases and these are sometimes considered part of it. Other people just see it as a movement where metal become popular again and there was an explosion of new metal bands. In that case you can't lump in priest, lizzy, budgie etc because they were around long before the early 80's. I tend to agree with the second assessment thats all.
BigHans 11.16.12	Dude great list 2 is the best shit ever
Jethro42 11.16.12	Hans is back, folks!
BigHans 11.16.12	m/ Jethro
Jethro42 11.16.12	m/ Big Welcome back!
JamieTwort 11.16.12	Holy shit, it's Hans.
ComeBiteTheApple100 11.20.12	Love Def Leppard's Mutt Lange stuff, but On Through The Night wasn't that good. High N Dry was amazing though should put that on
ComeBiteTheApple100 11.20.12	Needs more Girl, Hell & Blitzkrieg
menawati 11.20.12	yea high and dry is better but i wanted something on there as far removed from their pop music as possible
ReturnToRock 11.20.12	HANS! Good to see ya, mate. Let's jam some old cheese-rock.
menawati 05.13.14	nwob/
mandan 05.13.14	I personally consider Priest NWOBHM, but that's just me, and I see why someone wouldn't. It all depends on the person's definition of NWBHM. They were mostly a pioneering force from 1974 to 1978, after that going commercial. And when Priest went commercial, most bands in the NWBHM movement rose in their wake. So I kinda like to see Priest as the pioneers of that movement.
