^The lines are particularly obfuscated because all 3 bands (Sabbath+Dio, Priest - who actually came together in '69, shortly after the Sabs, IIRC - and Motorhead - who started in '75, BTW Tongue) all enjoyed a significant increase in popularity during the NWoBHM, and could justifiably be considered part of it, while Zep and Purple quite obviously couldn't.

The NWoBHM lines are blurred further, when it's perfectly legitimate to think of non-British bands, like The Scorpions, AC/DC, Dio and Krokus as part of it.
 
One could argue the toss on the technicalities, but the NWoBHM was a particular timeframe more than it was a genre or even a location.
 
 
Vardis have suddenly become my #1 NWoBHM act - I'd quite forgotten just how good (and MASSIVELY influential) the album 100MPH is.
 
The final track, "King of Rock and Roll", clearly influenced all the original Metallica members (naturally including Mustaine) to the point that "Phantom Lord" is a direct rip-off in the same way that "Child in Time" is a direct rip-off of "Bombay Calling".
 
Any band that makes their debut LP a LIVE one, with 100% original songs AND a guitar solo, gets a big thumbs up from me!

just like Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Motorhead  glided the NWOBHMB movement, but were technically not part of it since 69 (sabs), 71(priest) and 76 (mh) are their respective formation years and all had a few solid albums before 1980
 
I went for Maiden
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicted musicians to crazy ones....

i voted for Priest as my favourite though I wouldn't class them as NWOBHM as they released their first album in the mid seventies.

Priest started ages before the NWoBHM, as did Motorhead, so I'm going to ignore both -which is a relief, because I'd never forgive myself for not voting either as my favourites!
 
I am very keen on Raven - and all the other bands really, but no band got what I'd call the true NWoBHM spirit like Saxon did - they had everything from the pure rock and roll underpinnings to the hard as steel presentation, combined with superlative musicianship - plus you can hear Graham Oliver's work all over Metallica's debut in the Hetfield AND Mustaine numbers.

I quote this post because I think in the same direction.
 
Difficult to vote only one band... But I think that Priest, Saxon, Girlschool, Motorhead, Angel Witch are from my favorite all time Metal bands. Also Dio (that for me is a NWOBHM) is from my favourite bands. I recall a great Dio's concert at "Magica" tour at "Biker Fest" in Osoppo (Udine). But I think that, in general Priest, Saxon, Girlschool, Motorhead, Angel Witch are my favourite NWOBHM bands (with Dio and 80's Atomic Rooster [that are Progressive in 70's]).
