long shot but...
The battle of helm's deep was the only one to not have a king die in it?
Battle of pelennor fields, Theoden dies. Fall of Gondolin King Turgon dies. Battle of Azanulzibar, Nain dies. (Or Azog the Goblin) and during the Dagor Bragollach, Fingolfin rode to face Morgoth in combat, and died?

Is it the Dagor Bragollach because it is the only one when a strong hold of the Enemy is beseiged - in the others it is the Free peoples who are beseiged by the forces of Darkness?

Well technically the Dwarves were laying seige to Moria in the Battle of Azanulbizar, so I'm gonna try somthing else. No Elves were at Azanulbizar and no Dwarves were at the Fall of Gondolin.

Battle of Azanulbizar was the only one where nobody fought on the same side as someone from another race:
Pelennor - Orcs and men/Men, elf and dwarf Helm's Deep - Men, dwarf and elf Bragollach - Men and elves/Dragons, balrogs, orcs etc. Fall of Gondolin - Orcs, dragons, balrogs... Azanulbizar - Dwarves vs orcs. Plain and simple!

Mithalwen is on the right track...but wrong. And I say that the Battle of Azanulbizar isn't a seige, because it was in front of the gates. Lindolirian, you actually stumbled upon the ansser, although you didn't say it. And NightKnight, you're just wrong.
