And I must be the only one who likes their Hammer Horror

Dark Heart - s/t
Warrior - Live in a dive
Millennium - s/t
Syar - Death before dishonour
Slander - careless talk costs lives
Praying Mantis - time tells no lies
Chasar - s/t
Hellanbach - now hear this
Surprised not to see 'lightning to the nations' getting more props.
Off the top of my head:
Desolation Angels- s/t
Angel Witch- s/t
Diamond Head- lightning to the nations
Witchfinder General- both LPs, equally great IMO
Witchfynde- Lords of Sin
Jaguar- power games
Ritual- widow
Honorable Mentions:
Dark Heart- shadows of the night
War Machine- unknown soldier (not essential, but I always had a soft spot for this one)
Saracen- heroes saints & fools
Chateaux- fire power
Omega- the prophet
Witchfynde- cloak and dagger
Probably missed some obvious ones, and I decided not to worry about the obvious big names (Maiden, Venom, etc)

For a long time I actually shunned NWOBHM singles in favor of the LPs, but I soon learned to appreciate the magic of the 7”. Most of my favorites have already been mentioned: Diamond Head, Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, Witchfinder General, Witchfynde, Demon, Angel Witch, Saracen, Ritual, Satan, Tokyo Blade and Saracen. Here are a few of my favorites that no one has brought up yet:
Crys - Rhyfelwr
Crys - Tymor y Helwr
White Spirit – s/t

This is unbelievable to me.What about Raven (ALL FOR ONE),Venom (Welcome To Hell,Black Metal,Saxon( first 4 lp's),Gaskin(end of the world),Witchfynde (give 'em hell),Witchfinder General (death penalty,Friends of Hell),Pagan Altar (Volume 1),Savage (loose and lethal) the list seems endless.
Yeah I forgot Raven too but my list was originally just quick thinking
And I too like for example the second Witchfinder General album a fucking alot but I just put one album per band for sheer laziness.

I haven't heard all of those, but what I have heard is just too basic/simplistic for me. Good for a few songs, but not a whole album.

Even Venom and Pagan Altar?
