On the one hand, yes they were well before the explosion of NWOBHM. But their album "British Steel" Is in many ways one of the pivotal releases of this movement, even though people could argue that its not.
One band that hasn`t really been discussed on here is Budgie, who in many ways were seen as one the major influences on the NWOBHM scene.
