Exactly what I was thinking. I still have a love for Master of Puppets above all others solely because of Battery. Freakin' love that song.
I suppose I'd have to go Maiden, Priest, Sabbath. It's funny, ask any American who is a fan of NWOBHM, and they're probably a Maiden fan. I don't see half as many Priest fans, and even fewer Sabbath Fans. Powerslave was powerful, Painkiller killed, and Paranoid...made me paranoid? I dunno. Anyway, I have to admit, besides a few songs from Paranoid, I'm not a big fan of the Ozzy years. There's just something about the slow tempo that kills me. Dio didn't have the same...sort of edge to his lyrics, I guess(Ozzy had some sweet lyrics back then), but he made his music more "modern" for his day. The Mob Rules still rules.
