1. **** you for making me listen to Saxon.
2. I vote for Diamond Head, the riff is more exciting and less repetitive. The Saxon riff is just your standard bluesy rock bit.

Diamond Head - 2

**** you all! Will always love that sweet Saxon riff. It encapsulates just what the NWOBHM was all about!
So obviously I'm voting for Diamond Head....
... not!

Diamond Head 4
Saxon 1

Not basing this on the DH intro but the riff that kicks in after about a minute or so.

Love that DH riff, even though I think Metallica made it better with a heavier production, but that Saxon riff is just so infectious and badass. I've been obsessed with it for well over a decade.

It's a very even match, and a good choice. I love "Am I evil" but like I say, "Wheels of steel" just has that "this is the 80s and this is NWOBHM get on board or **** off" feel about it."She's got whee-eels, wheels of steel Dah-dah-dah-da-da-da!"
