The band are often considered a precursor to the new wave of British heavy metal, which re-energised heavy metal in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Their best-selling albums and singles feature drummer Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor (Philip John Taylor 21 September 1954 – 12 November 2015), and guitarist "Fast" Eddie Clarke (Edward Allan Clarke (5 October 1950 – 10 January 2018).
