All brought on by the NWOBHM compilation that jackhammer has, which I imagine is pretty damned definitive in a scene that probably didn't yield many classic albums. I dare you to listen to that and not derive any enjoyment from it 
Also the more I listen to this Blitzkrieg album the less I like it, in the sense that bar a few bangers it really is a missed opportunity |
I've had that album (the Blitzkrieg one) for some time now and it never took me anywhere when I first listened to it. I'll give the comp a spin and see if anything clicks, but for me there have one been two or three definite "great" albums to come out of the era. And while there are people who will forever associate metal with their upbringing in NWOBHM, I can't get any gratification listening to Motorhead & Iron Maiden albums.
