kashmir has a special place in my heart cos of walking thru the snow to get home listening to a ghetto blaster with physical graffiti playing on it, drinking whiskey, after being stranded in redruth for a few days.
Headbanging wars!!! Best metal track ever!!!!

Kashmir has a special place in my heart cos of listening to it very loudly in my mate's room when I was a student, because the deranged history tutor stormed out of his room and hammered on the door to get us to turn it down.

no one has voted for venom...no one ever votes for venom. i think deep down not even venom would vote for venom.
Because they were shit.
Well done for the drums, though, phil. Did you cast yourselves in the mould of Robin Trower, that other great exponent of the power trio?
Pish, Trower was just Hendrix for white people. Personally I always preferred playing punk, but that tended not to go down too well at the Ebbw Vale Labour Club.

I went for Metallica because I think it is the closest to what people mean by good "Heavy Metal" these days ...
but the original song that first used the term should be in the poll, in my view -
Step forward ... Steppenwolf's Born to be Wild from 1968!

OK until the drums kick in. I hope your drumming was better than that, phil.
I'm not gonna lie to you, I could never master the art of the double-bass drum. That's why I retreated to punk, where it's *supposed* to sound crap.

Having met you, I must say you look like a drummer, which is half the battle, IMO.
It's when you start *acting* like a drummer that you need to worry.
Heh. Let's face it, any selection of ten tracks would raise the ire of anyone who has ever banged their head to the chugging of distorted guitars and worn spandex (well, only once in my case because even at 15 I realised that I looked a right pillock).
I voted for the Maiden track, just because it's a relief that maybe someone else realises that once you have the first album, all other Iron Maiden is superfluous.

Death to False Metal!
Some great choices all round (although, are'nt Rainbow, Purple, Sabbath, etc., hard rock rather than metal? Apologies for being a pedant) but at the moment I can't stop listening to the mighty Manowar's Hail to England album, and in particular the track Blood of my Enemies. They passed me by when I was 13 but they are so metal they're aluminium!
Oh, and I would vote for Venom. I bought Black Metal when it came out and thought it was the most extreme thing I'd ever heard but then I was only 12. I've grown up a bit since but am still miffed my mum wouldn't let me have a bullet belt.

in my last post.Well, as I recall, it was 'heavy rock', then with the advent of Saxon and *spit* Def Leppard et al, became NWOBHM. Hi fellow pedant
Oh, and I had a belt custom made for me, from the chain of a Norton - thought I was the dogs in that

The New Wave of British Heavy Metal!!! Ah heady days. If Kerrang wrote about it, or Tommy Vance played it on a Friday night, then that was heavy metal enough for me.

Yes, and no, I do remember their track, Crash, Bang, Wallop (not a cover of the Tommy Steele song). They were on Neat Records the same label as my faves, Venom!
Anybody got any recommendations for a NWOBHM compilation? So much of it passed me by as a kid not living in a big city - although even if there had been a shop selling the records I wouldn't have had the money to buy them.

I'd go for AC/DC too, like so many other discerning posters here, but I'd far rather have Back in Black than Highway to Hell.
Ace of Spades also a winner.
Retired ex headbangers like me need obvious choices!!
