There isn’t a whole to be said about this one…
Every once in a while I try to “rock out” instead of listening to 90s sadcore or 80s jangle-pop or whatever. Problem is, I usually end up listening to Tygers of Pan Tang or something a more committed metal enthusiast wouldn’t be caught dead jammin’ along with. I do, however, have enough cred to dislike soft-ass Def Leppard, so they don’t make an appearance here. I’m sure that most NWOBHM experts can put together a much stronger tracklist, these just happen to be some of my favorites (as if people actually have “favorite” Samson songs).
But I don’t wanna be too hard on myself, this mix is actually pretty great if you’re riding a motorcycle, about to fight another person using karate, or think that Satan is dangerous and/or rascally. Enjoy! (Download it here.)
