Re: Who was the best heavy metal band of the 80's?
Sorry Magic, but DL simply is not as heavy as the bands I listed, especially Priest who I consider the Heaviest of the NWOBHM, DL is not part of that group of bands. I'm not saying they don't rock, but Heavy Metal...I don't think so it was not their niche. VH and DL are both similar, just a lighter flavor of metal in my books.
