I don't know the style very well but I'll try something... I may improve my skills in the future...
1. Judas Priest - Stained Class (If this is NWOBHM) maybe this is the old wave
2. Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son (May also fit in classic heavy metal, prog metal)
3. Def Leppard - High 'N' Dry (On a another favorite list I said Pyromania but I love also High 'N" Dry and it fits more to me in NWOBHM)
4. Holocaust - The Sound Of Souls (May also fit in prog metal)
5. Halford - Crucible (If this is NWOBHM) (Great recent discovery!)
6. Bruce Dickinson - ? (I have only "Tattooed Millionaire" and "Balls To Picasso", maybe the one you menrionned would be my favorite as well. On my list of artists to investigate...)
7. Saxon - Crusader
8. Girlschool - Hit And Run (The longest-running all-female rock band still active!)

Re: Top Favorite NWOBHM Albums ... rank them
I am not as big of a fan of the NWOBHM as you are. I have added a bunch of albums from this category in the past five years, but the only all-time classics for me come from Priest, Maiden, and Satan. Half of that Cloven Hoof album is great, so that could be fourth on my list.

I love that you choose the “underdog” releases from Judas Priest and Saxon … I never understood all the hate towards “Crusader”.

Well, I'd need to work on a list. But you should have mentioned, name your fave albums from the bands that emerged during the NWOBHM. Cause for me, a NWOBHM faves list should only have albums from between 1980 and 1985, more or less, the true period of this era.
