The double guitar attack of KK Downing and Glenn Tipton has been with us for over 30 years now. Usually, with the golden scream of Rob Halford but for a time with his cover band follower Tim "Ripper" Owens. Which of their albums is your favorite? -------------

Why does there have to be a joker in every thread?  Obviously I am only asking about studio albums.

I can�t say Priest were ever my favorites ( somehow I manage to own almost every album released by them anyways . No wonder the wife says we don�t have more room for my "little hobby"), but I really enjoy the first two albums by the band. So Sad Wings it is. I have that one on both vinyl and CD. I guess that�s an indication of how much I like it.------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

Ask me this question any time and you'll get the same answer: Sad Wings of Destiny!! I'd probably say Killing Machine is my second favorite right now, but any one of their 70s albums gets my approval. |

For me, it is the British Steel that brings me the most pleasure. -------------

Not too familiar with all their stuff, especially some of the earlier... But from what I know I really like Painkiller. Awesome album! Sad Wings of Destiny is pretty damn good though. ------------- Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Testament. The real Big Four of thrash metal! Listen to doom metal, worship Satan |

I know some people find Rocka Rolla a bit imature, but I really enjoy that one too. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

Same here. It's definitely not a metal album, but it's a great listen. |

I think it's a metal album - early hard rock metal stuff very much inspired by Led Zep, to be sure, but nonetheless metal. -------------

^^^^^ Yeah, I suppose you're right. It's definitely as metal as any album out at the time. The genre was just forming at the time. May the Metal God strike me where I stand for saying such a blasphemous statement.  |

Fortunately, the Metal God is not a vengeful god, so he'll probably reward you for liking their music ;-) -------------

I am not familiar with the whole JP discography, so I won't vote.
But Sad Wings, Sin, Stained glass, British Steel and Painkiller are quite good. ------------- Dorosłe dzieci mają żal, za kiepski przepis na ten świat. |

"Sad Wings Of Destiny". Almost all the songs ("Tyrant" is my exception) But "Rocka Rolla" is also a very good album. Especially the last three songs ("Run Of The Mill", "Dying To Meet You", and "Caviar And Meths"-a little diamond) OK and "Killing Machine" or "Hell Bent For Leather" and the main reason is one song: Delivering The Goods (still makes me bang my head and playing air guitar) ------------- If you close the light every woman looks the same (Ancient Greek tale by Diogenis) Very democratic... |

"Hell Bent For Leather" is called "Killing Machine" in the UK, BTW

In Europe released as "Killing Machine". In the U.S. as "Hell Bent For Leather". I have them both on vinyl.

I knew that there was one album that had a different name in the U.S. than elsewhere, but I didn't recall which one it was. I've also got an album on vinyl called Hero, Hero. I haven't listened to it in ages but I think it was just a compilation of Rocka Rolla and Sad Wing of Destiny songs. -------------

^That's largely correct - Hero is mostly a cynical attempt by Gull records to cash in on Priest's fame when they signed to CBS (after having loads of grief from Gull, it should be noted), and is a compilation of existing material.
Some of the tracks, however, are presented the way (Black Sabbath producer) Rodger Bain wanted them as opposed to the way the band wanted them - and are interesting from that point of view. I forget which ones, but should be easy enough to Google if you're interested.
Sadly, it doesn't include the full-length version of Caviar and Meths (it was supposed to be 14 minutes, not 2 minutes long) - but Hero's a good "early days" collection.

I bought a 3CD set that had Rocka Rolla, Sad Wings and Hero Hero. I guess they threw Hero Hero into the set just to clear some warehouse space. |

Nevertheless, it will be very interesting if Judas Priest continued to the direction of "Sad Wings Of Destiny". I
believe the result would be a more progressive rock sound with hard rock
core and not the typical metal sound that characterizes them. I also want to say that the clothes worn then were much better than the clothes they wear today. And also the lyrics... Much better!

I've only heard Painkiller, so no vote obviously, but that album kicks ass. Looks like Sad Wings is the next step.

Yeah, I was pretty disappointed with it, especially after Angel of Retribution which was so good. And of course their best album is Sad Wings of Destiny.

Ram It Down. I've had it on cassette since I was 14. It is wonderful from start to finish. Nice combination, of glam, power and heavy metal influences.

I'll go with the flow, Sad Wings and/or Painkiller for me. I'm surprised no one voted Sin after Sin though. |

| Another tough choice for me. I'll go ahead and say Sad Wings but I really like Screaming for Vengeance and Defenders of the Faith a lot too. I like most of Priest's material although I haven't really listened to the Tim Owens records. |

So many great albums to choose from but still one standout for me - Stained Class! Over the last twenty odd years all my American friends have always raved about Painkiller but I like the cover art more than the tunes
