I'd have gone with Judas Priest's "All Guns Blazing". I love Saxon, but at least up until Metalhead (which is the last modern Saxon album I listened to) they were kind of dull. Their guitarist just doesn't have any of the swagger or the killer riffs needed to set off Biff's vocals, so they come off as sterile. The guitarist doesn't do too bad with speed metal riffs though, but when he slows down his lack of personality becomes obvious. Hopefully they've fixed that or dropped him since.
That's one of my fav Anthrax songs though. Totally underrated. That album is also my fav vocal performance by Joey Belladonna. He went for a more punk approach after that album, but on Spreading the Disease he just goes full on Bruce Dickinson, with enough cheese thrown in to make it the ultimate sing-along metal album. It's not as well written as Among the Living, but it still might be my fav from Anthrax.
