The fourth essential listen is this Raven album and I know there are a couple of Raven fans on this thread who`ll like this Raven debut album.

Raven Rock Until You Drop 1981

Raven were one of a number of very good 3-piece bands in the genre and they hailed from Newcastle. It was surprising just how many good metal bands of this movement came from Newcastle and the North East in general. They were headed up by the Gallagher brothers (not to be confused with those twats from Manchester Putting on this album for the first time, will send thrash lovers into ecstasy with its rawness and speed, combine this with the solid guitar riffs of Mike Gallagher and John Gallagher`s wild sounding Rob Halford type voice, all being backed up by Rob "Wacko" Hunter on drums and you`ve got a must have album.
