1976 TO 1980 YEAR GROUP
The "1976 to 1980 Year Group" Nominee's for 2009 induction are as follows:
Accept
"Their in your face Metal attitude combined with countless brilliant songs packed with both melody and hardness is a trademark along with their brilliant chorus' and spectacular guitar work." Tommy - RevelationZ Magazine "Accept are the most important heavy metal band Germany has ever produced. Their metallic aesthetics have influenced legions of Europen bands who were swayed by the band's brutal yet euphonious brand of heavy rock, one propelled by a potent double-pronged axe attack. The brash German quintet refined a pile-driving yet melodic style marked by intense shrieks and growls, majestic guitars and headbanging rythms." Joe Schlared - Goldmine
Cold Chisel
"Cold Chisel was a band that was able to rock hard, but it also showed a deceptive depth and perceptiveness in their lyrics." Jonathan Lewis, All Music Guide
"Cold Chisel’s songs and recordings mapped Australian culture, landscape, morals, humor, sex, love and doubt from ground level, in ways that continue to resonate in the 21st century." Warner Music "Cold Chisel produced the canonical example of Australian pub rock." 123 Explore
Diamond Head
''Some of the greatest Heavy Metal songs of all time"
Ozzy Osbourne
"Though many bands have succeeded in earning the hatred of parents and media worldwide throughout the past few decades, arguably only such acts as Alice Cooper, Judas Priest, and Marilyn Manson have tied the controversial record of Ozzy Osbourne." Star Pulse “He’s been described as a cross between Charlie Cairoli the circus clown and devil-worshipper, Aleister Crowley, while he’s had more women, done more dope ‘n’ booze and lived life harder than just about any rock’n’roller still alive. Yet as he sails on into his sixth decade on earth, John Michael ‘Ozzy’ Osbourne, master performer and self-styled clown prince of darkness, is nor alive and kickin’ than some of the kids that worship him… and are less than half his age!” Harry Shaw, Ozzy Talking
Saxon
"...And among all early-80s heavy metal albums, this is in the ruling class! It's Saxon! It's better than being a bloody Anglo." Don Ignacio, donignacio.com "[Saxon]is a cross between Iron Maiden and Helloween, typically characterised by great vocal melodies and searing guitar work. And it's not the same old rehash of heavy metal: the music sounds fresh, and energetic, and can best be described as vintage metal with a modern sound." Ram Samudrala, ram.org
The nominee's for the "1966 to 1970 Year Group" were: Alice Cooper, Cream, Steppenwolf, UFO and Uriah Heep. For "1971 to 1975 Year Group": Aerosmith, Budgie, Buffalo, Rush and Thin Lizzy.

"With their brutal, simple riffs and aggressive, fast tempos, Accept was one of the top metal bands of the early '80s, and a major influence on the development of thrash." Sputnik Music
"Cold Chisel is the classic Australian "pub rock band", playing a tough breed of rock and blues inspired by seventies bands like Free, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin, but characterised by the story-telling skills of their main songwriter Don Walker, whose personal influences came from Bob Dylan." Howl Space
"The three albums prior to [Power And The Glory] put Saxon on par with Iron Maiden, Def Leppard and Motorhead as the leaders of British metal." Goreripper, PyroMusic.net
