Let's Make A Saxon Mix

We are making a 2 disc set of their music for someone who has never heard them. Let's o chronologically and pick I song from each of the 22 studio albums. I'll start:

Saxon - Saxon (1979) Stallions of the Highway

Wheels of Steel - Machine Gun

Thank you, Uncle.

Is this someone a guy or a gal ? How old ?

Crusader is next, so Crusader.

Can we pick b-sides? I like Krakatoa off of the "Innocence" sessions. Good song. Otherwise a bland album.

One amazing but forgotten track:

Sure. Excellent choice my Metal brother!

I just recently added this to my Saxon vinyl collection on tri colored swirl. I don't think this one deserves all the crap  it gets. I would add the title track to the mix.

Saxon's later and somewhat heavier songs are as good as their old classics.

I feel that way, too.

Destiny is their weakest album. But there's some nice melodies to be found.

I pick what is a perfect AOR rocker "S.O.S."

That's a good choice, brother!

I will add this epic tune:

Great choice sentinel. This is one of Saxon's best albums.
