You can vote a hundred more times to elevate it to 'most vital thing in the whole universe ever' if you can be bothered!LOL
You don't want to recommend such a move with me watching you. Clown (and supporting NWOBHM)

I think the joke is actually on you, the Leps were a huge part of the early NWoBHM.
 
What they did later does not detract from that.
 
In fact I can guarantee it, seeing as I saw them perform in 1980 at the height of the era.

keep our sand-castle virtues

People should really read the damn question before answering it ! ! ! It´s not about which scene you like the most ('cause that definitely would have been NEO-PROG for me, but I voted NWoBHM....that makes you think, doesn't it?)

Def Leppard were heavy metal to start with until turning into a boring AOR band.
 
I voted Neo Prog. Iron Maiden were the only thing I liked from nwobbem and they always had more ambition than the rest. Phantom Of The Opera is an incredible track for instance.
Actually on second thoughts I quite liked Judas Priest and Motorhead at the time but that quickly passed.

Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Diamond Head had a huge influence on thrash metal as far as I know.



The question was who is more influential to prog. As the wondrous chap said, above me, DT, Queensrche, Fates Warning, most classic prog metal in general, and a lot of non-prog got their cues from NWOBHM.

NWOBHM was/is a movement more influential in many modern bands than Neo-prog but it is a strong movement as well..

Neo prog is my favorite, but it had an almost nonexistent impact on progressive music. And since the question is "which one do you think has had the greatest impact on progressive music generally?, I will vote accordingly. To deny the influence that Iron Maiden, Saxon, Judas Priest, and Diamond Head had on bands like Dream Theater, Fates Warning, Queensrÿche, and Symphony X is blasphemous, whereas the influence from IQ, Pendragon, Marillion (well, maybe not them), and Arena is much smaller. There is still a debt to be owed, but NWOBHM revolutionized music. Of course, neo prog is still alive and well, while NWOBHM is pretty dead.

But, in answer to the original question, NWOBHM had a bigger impact on prog, even though I prefer neo-prog.

Neo prog (mainly in the form of IQ and Marillion) has given me almost as many memorable moments as the symphonic prog of the 70s.

NWOBHM has only contributed a few.

Although, I absolutely love Neo-Prog and I think it has brought us the crème de la crème of prog music, I have to admit that more bands - especially prog-metal bands - have been inspired by NWoBHM, and because there are só many metal bands - they could virtually outnumber all other subgenres combined! - the NWoBHM movement probably has had a larger inpact on the current prog-scene...
