A couple of months ago I came across a NWOBHM compilation album. Out of curiosity, I stuck it on and had a listen. I found myself listening to each track for about 20 seconds, and then skipping to the next track. I ran through the album in about 5 minutes. I basically found it unlistenable.
A lot of these albums were made on the cheap, therefore the production values aren't that good. But it wasn't the production that bothered me, what I found was that a lot of this stuff hasn't aged well at all. I could listen to early Iron Maiden, Def Leppard and Diamond Head, as they still sound pretty good. However, I couldn't bring myself to listen to bands like Saxon, Wrathchild, Samson, etc.
Sometimes, it isn't enjoyable to go digging up the past .
I think the album was Metal for Muthas Volume 1.

I read a book recently where the author stated that the genre leaders in most genres persist and the rest fade away. I also heard one time that the golden years for music are 15 to 22. I think both of those statements are correct. I still love and listen to the bands I loved in high school and college, although I also listen to newer bands. Iron Maiden continues on while Praying Mantis and their like are, although not dead, at least forgotten by many.
Judas Priest was a well established and recording band prior to the NWOBHM, and I don't think properly belongs in the category.
Leppard are definitely NWOBHM. Just because you start out as something doesn't mean you're going to stay that same thing for your whole career.

I like everything that leppard has done, een the later stuff, Love Bites and when love and hate collide are brilliant songs
I'm with you. I miss the edgeier stuff from High 'n' Dry and On Through The Night but even Slang, IMO, was a good CD. DL definitely belongs in the category. They just took a different road once they got established. Personally, however, I'm skeptical of this covers CD they're coming out with. Sounds like the first/another nail in the coffin.

Unfortunately I don't have much of a head for that sort of thing. I flip through a lot of books at Borders and Barnes and Noble (hm, really big book chains if you don't have them in Australia), but don't pay much attention to authors, and can't remember titles unless I actually purchase said book.
