I ran acrossed a band called Jaguar this weekend that were labelled as NWOBHM.  The song that I heard "Run for Your Life" was actually pretty darn good.  Has anyone heard any albums from them?

Their best song, IMHO, is "Axe Crazy"; http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/jaguar.aspx
 
"Power Games" is a great LP - loads of fun, loads of speed, great tunes, and quality playing along similar but less aggressive lines than Vardis. "Axe Crazy" isn't on the original, but I think it went onto a re-release.
 
It's on Neat, and it's pre 1984, so you can pretty much trust it to be good!
 
The next album, "This Time" is a bit marmite - it's a bit of a sloppy AOR album, but OK if you like that sort of thing!

Sounds interesting. I'll have to check it out.  I tend to like AOR; not quite sure about the sloppy part, but I suspect that probably is up my alley.

By sloppy, I mean it comes across as a kind of low-budget Journey, but Jaguar put in some experimental touches, and tend to come across as a bit under-rehearsed.
 
Of course, under-rehearsed is part of the charm of the NWoBHM - but that album did alienate them from a lot of their fans at the time, as it's nothing like as aggressive or speedy as "Power Games".
 
Still, it does show that the band had real potential in that area, even if it isn't a perfect product! Enjoy!

Iron Maiden certainly have this but Judas Priest are monsters of metal and may still win it

Agreed. They are such a good band, and now with their new album that just came out a couple months ago I like them even more. Hence the avatar.LOL

Priest are probably even more important than Sabbath in terms of how metal evolved through the NWoBHM - more bands from that time were Priest inspired than Sabbath inspired, certainly. Maiden included.
 
It's also true to say that Priest aren't really an NWoBHM band - although that would be a nit-picky argument. Priest's sound during the New Wave was completely new and fresh - unlike so many bands that copied their much earlier (and ground-breaking) style.
 
Priest have changed a lot over the years too - check out Painkiller, double-check the year it was released, and prepare to be devastated by the Metal Godz!!! Headbanger
 
 
 
1990... it was 20 years ago today (give or take a few months, years, depending on when you read this post!)

no,Dio/Rainbow are not part of NWOBHM. Neither are Judas Priest and Motorhead (as someone mentioned and I agree)

Voted for Iron Maiden (obviously)
I also enjoy Saxon, Diamond head and Def Leppard first two albums are great!

I love Iron Maiden and Judas Priest equally, but I'm going to vote for the Maiden since they are actually NWoBHM. Wink
If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme
