Def Leppard only released their first EP, Getcha Rocks Off, in 1979 - a year after Iron Maiden's Soundhouse Tapes EP. Maiden made it big in Britain a good five or six years before Leppard.

Also, two important bands you haven't mentioned. Judas Priest, for one, and Venom - the originators of "Black Metal", though they were soon overtaken by Metallica and co.

If you think you know the NWOBHM better than me, please write about it. I've just got round to deleting my very poor account of it, so if somebody knows it better than me then I'd love to hear there version.
