You're not really after the early 70s progressive, psychedelic and/or bluesy hard rockers, but the late 70s acts which were closer to 1979NWOBHM, right? There's a ton of it about.
Ram Jam - Portrait of the artist as a young ram (heavier than their debut, less bluesy than Black Betty)
Sorcery - Stunt rock (but don't pay the amount of money some dealers want for it - it should be relatively cheap http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0XtdjDzQy4)
Hand of Doom - Poisonoise (but you're probably familiar with that classic album)
Centaurus - s/t (often found overpriced, pretty good album but try to get a listen before buying)
GranMax - Kiss heaven goodbye (Some people think this is not too hot, but to me this is pretty great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dChfXok-Ldk )
Pre-NWOBHM

Thx for the list and anymore will be welcome.great_knuthulhu wrote:You're not really after the early 70s progressive, psychedelic and/or bluesy hard rockers, but the late 70s acts which were closer to 1979NWOBHM, right?

Well, pretty hard to tell what the exact definition of pre-NWOBHM is. Bands like UFO or THIN LIZZY have been mentioned in the very first post, so why not RUSH or TRUST?omen of hate wrote:What TRUST, RUSH and SCORPIONS have to do with NWOBHM or pre-NWOBHM ??

If you know any better ones, then you should post them, as well.
Those bands are influences to quite some NWOBHM. This is just a 60's/70's heavier rock suggestion thread. Actually, you can also suggest some 70's Disco bands, they're also pre-NWOBHM.omen of hate wrote:What TRUST, RUSH and SCORPIONS have to do with NWOBHM or pre-NWOBHM ??

I suggest The Flying Hat Band, Sweet and Hawkwind.

KISS, maybe ?? Just joking... OK, I've misread this thread, it's more about 70's hard-rock ... To me, NWOBHM takes its roots in the UK glam scene (SLADE, SWEET, T-REX, MOTT THE HOOPLE, ..), some pub-rock (Ian Dury, DR FEELGOOD) some UK 70's hard-rock stuff (URIAH HEEP, IRON CLAW, POSSESSED ...) and even some 1977 punk influences ... (THE CLASH, EDDIE & THE HOT RODS, ...).Sgt. Kuntz wrote:Well, pretty hard to tell what the exact definition of pre-NWOBHM is.

I'm sure more bands than Iron Maiden were influenced by their double leads, but I can't think of any. WA were really good at their best.big mouth wrote:WISHBONE ASH eventually?!
Maybe Alkana could fit the bill as well? You decide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgYqFgoTFWU

Partially agreed, the magnum opus "The tower" definitely fits the bill. Not so sure about the rest of the tracks though.great_knuthulhu wrote:Maybe Alkana could fit the bill as well?
