Here we go 
Defenders of the Faith for me. I remember it had quite good songs in it, but have not listened to it  in the last 15 years or so. Great cover too

It has been way too long since I heard Green Manalishi.  Unleashed in the East is a great record

No wrath from me.  I consider Judas Priest a major step up from Black Sabbath.  I've even kept a couple of their albums for old-times sake.

I voted Stained Class (first to immediately impact on me and I consider it the first true heavy metal album - sans almost any rockish elements), Unleashed in the East (incredible versions) and Screaming for Vengeance (which is a little more patchy than a few others, but sentimentally, I like even the inferior songs). I never really got into Painkiller, which feels a little dry and clinical to me, despite being spectacular.

Metal works 1973-1993

Before the dawn, I hear you whisper..

Oh, a long story.

In another forum it came down to a big battle between Screaming and Sad Wings.

Screaming won of course.   0:)    0:)

Screaming is hard to argue with.



I think all three after Rocka Rolla are like a Triumverate of Power, and I really love Defenders of the Faith as well.

Agree Screaming and then Defenders.  But Screaming by far.

Did you just contradict your earlier post?

These entries are hard to argue with. "Freewheel Burnin'", "The Sentinel", "Love Bites". Great music.

I hear their new CD will be a concept album based on Nostradamus.

I have no earlier post, that was my first post on that thread.

The last one had a couple of really powerful songs on it.

You know, there were even a couple of cool tunes off of that "Jugulator" album, if I remember correctly. Too bad they were going so hard for a Pantera sound back then. Priest will always be better than even great bands like Pantera. I realize they were attempting to acclimate themselves to the times.

It's not my favorite genre, but if I had to pick one metal band, it would be JP.

Can't go wrong with them as a top pick in Metal. I remember growing up and buying up all their stuff on vinyl and cassettes. Man I wish I had what I had then! Ultimate vinyl!
