"Except there never was a single NWOBHM sound." I disagree,most nwobhm had a characterist sound,i mean,listen to quintessential nwobhm albums like Lighting to the Nations,Iron Maiden debut,Rock until you drop,Wheels of Steel or Angel Witch,they may be different bands but there are some similarities.Still influenced and with traces of the 70´s hard rock,nwobhm for example were epic,but still with a rock and roll kind of attitude,agressive but not as much as what metal would become later.For example,Fire Down Under by Riot is a nwobhm sounding album.

Budgie adapted way, way more than Motorhead or Priest ever did; Power Supply is a full-fledged NWoBHM album, and no one calls Budgie NWoBHM. The only reason Motorhead or Priest get lumped in is because people can't get the time period straight, simple as that.

Priest and Motorhead obviously preceded this genre, but because they adapted to sound very much like NWoBHM in its prime, they're half-rightfully considered part of the movement.

This era in metal seems to be overlooked or ignored too often. Probably because a lot of these bands were a flash in the pan, but as a whole it's very strong.

If your asking why Def Leppard isn't in the top 10 Pedrodoon its because most people don't know that they were a part of the NWOBHM.
