Onward we rock headbanger

So far it's "Stallions Of The Highway" and "747 (Strangers In The Night)"

"Dallas 1 PM" has a killer groove, but the clear choice is "Heavy Metal Thunder"

what do others think ?

Pull your heads back
Hold your hands high
Shake your body
If it's too loud
And you're burning hot
Fill your heads with heavy metal thunder
Heavy metal thunder

I had to go with the title track. That song sticks in my damn head every time I hear so much as a five second clip of it. That start-stop chorus is awesome.

Mine too.

This album is an island disc for me. LOVE every single song. That being said, I went with:

20,000 Ft.

Great album. Originally, I had this on cassette, and this was one of those albums where you could just drop the tape in the player and know that it didn't matter which side was playing. I never minded if it started on side one or two.

My vote was for track 1, side one.

The J.F.K lyrics are killer - no pun attended -
and the conspiracy thing - Biff writes some INCREDIBLE lyrics -
right to the heart of the matter -
Motorhead and Saxon - are the big time heavy hitters of metal !

I really like these threads because they've got me listening to early Saxon (I hadn't heard much pre-Denim and Leather stuff before). This album is the best so far, and it was difficult choosing one track.

I narrowed it down to "Heavy Metal Thunder" and "Taking Your Chances." The latter might not get any votes, so it would be nice to give it one; but the former will count more towards the winner, so that's the direction I went.

Definitely "Heavy Metal Thunder", with "Taking Your Chances" being my second fav.

There was one recently on another message board I post at.

Make one here. I feel Motörhead has more cross-genre and mainstream appeal, but metal fans generally like Saxon at least as much.

Both excellent bands.
