Comment:

This is my mix to document the best and biggest heavy metal bands from the 70s and 80s. My other aim was to answer a question: What did metalheads from these eras listen to? This is my best estimation. Don't get me wrong though: these bands I listen to often. I love Maiden and Priest and Sabbath and everyone else on here. "Born To Be Wild" is such a rockin' song and says "heavy metal thunder" of course in the lyrics. This mix would feel incomplete without it.

Back then, it was cool to listen to metal AND other genres. Now everything is too compartmentalized. But metal is strong, and still rocks around the world. Well considered mix.

I can't deny liking quite a few of these. Extra kudos for track 17 too.
