whern I was a young kid (14 when Manowar's Battle Hymns was released), they were generally considered as being the fathers of Power Metal, as distinct from NWOBHM....

i have always considered NWOBHM as not a specific genre or sub-genre of  heavy rock/metal but is more of a description of the players, musicians from Britain around the early 80's.

I don't think so, NWOBHM was a metal 'movement', that consisted of various bands who had a similar sound... early Maiden, Ratt, Raven, Diamond Head etc.




For the record Ratt was never a nwobhm band, they're not even british!!
They may be an influence on later power metal

But we're getting out of the subject here, it's not about NWOBHM, it's about the first POWER metal album

let me here your thoughts...

I didn't say I didn't know what genre meant.

NWOBHM is a genre by that definition ... it marks a distinctive style, form or content. That's why I posted these definitions ...

Maybe we would get somewhere if you explained why NWOBHM or Classic Rock aren't genres in your opinion?

In my opinion, NWOBHM is as much a genre as Classic Rock. It is associated with a certain sound and, more importantly, era that, for example, just like groups who copy The Beatles nowadays aren't called Classic Rock because they make music now, not in the 60/70's; so groups who do music in the style of Iron Maiden and early Judas Priest are now called Traditional/Heavy/Speed/whatever instead of NWOBHM since the "new wave" got old.

That wikipedia certainly is a good definition for some of the bands, but not all................ok maybe your right.

What is Power Metal? How come Iron Maiden are? I've been lis=tening to them from the beginning and never heard them described thus.

Well, there is a definitive connection between Iron Maiden and Helloween ... I think that Iron Maiden are forerunners of Power Metal - the only problem is that a) they started in another genre (NWOBHM) and b) the label "Power Metal" simply hadn't been "invented" yet back then.

Nwobhm is not a genre surely?

New Wave of British Heavy Metal:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NWOBHM

So not a genre then.
