I think, it's association with thrash and all the extreme metal that came after, and the NWOBHM influence and Iron Maiden and Saxon and the God Damn Mutha****in Diamond Head and just how immediate and unfiltered the influence was on a bunch of angry teenagers on speed just made it the greatest expression of 80s metal ever recorded.
Edit: I just made myself tear up a little.
