Their later album, "This Means War" is quality as well, the main difference between it and "Filth Hounds..." is... on this album, they got proper songs.

Then there's Saxon... but that's an obvious one. Saxon are wonderful.

I'm a big Tank fan. Just like Something From Hell has been a fave for well over 20 years now. I managed to pick up the C.D in Germany last year, I was chuffed to bit's. Saracen were another great band too.

Diamond Head deserves much more recognition.
I think "Am I Evil" is a top-tier heavy metal song and their debut Lightning to the Nations is among the finest 80's metal records, it beats both Maiden and Metallica debuts.
