And how could I have forgotten Diamond Head's Lightning To The Nations? A real classic. For years the only Diamond Head I had was that compilation Am I Evil, which had cool cover art [inspiration for Dethklok's train abode?], but was mostly kinda lame except for the song Am I Evil, which had a mix that was a bit anaemic. The mix on Lightning To The Nations is better [unless I just have an exaggerated memory of the sound on the comp.], and most of the other songs are total classics. A NWOBHM cornerstone! But I bet most of you already knew that.
