Performer: Saxon
Distributor: Caroline Distribution Notes: Saxon followed up four or five brilliant albums with a bevy of pretty lousy ones, making any greatest hits set a tricky proposition for these New Wave of British Heavy Metal mainstays. And this a very poorly assembled greatest hits set even by those standards, so do yourself a favor: pick up Wheels of Steel or Strong Arm of the Law instead. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
Along with Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, Saxon was one of the key bands in the early-1980s scene known as the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Using the hard-rock template laid out by Deep Purple and Black Sabbath but playing a faster, louder, and more theatrically bombastic version of it, Saxon's sound would influence a plethora of metal bands--from Megadeth and Bathory to Metallica and the Darkness--for decades to come.
