Judas Priest

What more can be said. Simply fantastic.

"Screaming for Vengeance" is my favorite album by Priest. Title track, "Electric Eye", and "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" are the best tracks off the album

STELLAR band....

one of the first heavy metal bands i started listening to, along with black sabbath. stained glass is my favorite priest album

I can't help but love Priest.

Did anyone enjoy Nostradamus?

Nostradamus is larde dissapontment to me :(. Angel Of Retribution was solid comeback, but this is just boring shit.

Can't type best album. I enjoy everything with exception of debut album, Ripper years albums and Nostradamus.

Halford was great singer, but getting old has some reflections on that how he sings.

Judas Priest are pretty cool 'British Steel' , Screaming for Vengeance, and Painkiller are my favorites.

Judas Priest are an amazing band. I really dig this band a lot. I just have their essential compilation album. It's the best thing to get if you wanna get into Priest. Priest are simply a classic heavy metal band that cannot be ignored.

Nostradamus was a disapointment. They could easily have made it as a one disc album. There's some good songs on it, but all the prologs, epilogs and intermission songs/parts made the flow of the album slow...

It's hard to pick out my favorite album by them, but Painkiller, Defenders Of the Faith, Killing Machine and Stained Class is definitive all strong contenders...

One of my favourites...Sad Wings Of Destiny and Killing Machine/Hell Bent For Leather for me

I like Judas Priest a lot, but I am a bit tired about their pop metal songs from the 80's. I have heard them to often and those songs are to simplistic. I prefer Painkiller and their 70's albums. To be honoust Rocka Rolla is my favorite album. Demolition on the other hand is so weak that I try to deny it's existence. :x

Pop metal? The only album from the 80's that may be close to pop-metal must be Turbo. I don't think you can call any other albums by them from the eighties that.

Turbo did have a couple of songs that could be considered "pop" metal, but that is it.

Bump to the Metal Gods

Im a big fan of JP and i like all their cds, but new album is boring. Tracks are good, but it last too long.

I agree with what Vogg said earlier, they could have cut it down to 1 disc and it would have been pretty good.

One of my alltime favorite bands. One of the pioneers of they metal scene and one of the most popular bands ever! Screaming for Vengeance, Point of Entry and maybe Sin After Sin are my favorite cd's .

Oh yeah, just bought Screaming For Vengeance on vinyl. :afro:

One of my faves.
They are the gods of HEAVY METAL.

I think Rocka Rolla is a very underrated album. Every time I play it, I realize how good it is.

a little off-topic but i wanna throw it out there

sabbath>priest>>>maiden

Nah...most of the album is filled with quite mediocre 70's prog rock songs, but the title track and Never Satisfied is rather good..

Rob said in a interview at the time he returned to the band that he hoped to do a lot of odd JP songs on the "reunion" tour, and named Rocka Rolla as one of the songs. Did they ever play that song on that tour?

The other way around would be right.^^

personally i would call priest > maiden.

sabbath made it all, so i don't feel i can compare them to anyone

Priest is playing with Whitesanke this summer here. They're doing the entire British Steel album.
