The Best Of The NWOBHM.........#40 to #50



This short-lived era was extremely impactful to me. I was in high school when these bands hit and we were just blown away ! We would anxiously visit our local record stores and scour the import section for the next gem. These albums form a major cornerstone of my collection. There were many bands that either didn’t put out full albums or released them at a later date. Bands like Trespass, Sweet Savage, Soldier, Weapon, are still fully part of the NWOBHM. The music was fresh, unique, and powerful. I personally have so many great memories listening to these. Here’s my attempt to rank them.


#50   Wildfire   Brute Force And Ignorance

#49  Girl   Sheer Greed

#48  Vardis   100 M.P.H

#47   Chateaux  Chained And Desperate

#46   Bitches Sin   Predator

#45   Girlschool   Hit And Run

#44   Gaskin   End Of The World

#43   Fist   Turn The Hell On

#42   Samson   Head On

#41   More   Blood And Thunder

#40   Hollow Ground   Warlord
