Best Judas Priest album

[The Ozzman]

I can't get into Painkiller for some reason.

 

[Rumpole]

Sad Wings of Destiny and Stained Class. Pretty much everything else by Priest is hit and miss.

 

[Evil?]

Painkiller always wins these polls, which is lame. It is nowhere as good as the '70s material.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Sad Wings of Destiny and Sin After Sin.

[Roidster]

Rocka Rolla and Point of Entry are my favs,
when it comes to fav song,i would go with "Victim of Changes"

 

[King Richard]

Looking at who voted for Painkiller...it doesn't really surprise me. Painkiller is a piece of shit (we're getting older so we need to play like the kids want it nowdays) instead of sticking to their roots and playing some amazing traditional metal. Stained Class and Sad Wings are probably their best "albums." Most of their other output you could easily just pick through. Those two albums however, are a must listen from beginning to end.

 

[Evil?]

I did not realize I could see who voted for what. But ya, you are right, after looking I am not too surprised.

edit: it also appears certain people are choosing more than two...

 

[skeptik]

Certain people are fucking stupid then.

 

[Manic Ferocity]

I never really got into Painkiller.

i actually find the early stuff weak which is pretty rare for bands for me. they just don't have a lot of energy to me and are too rockish for me. to be fair i don't like much 70s stuff. they're good but can't match up to the extreme fucking metalness of screaming for vengeance or painkiller.

 

[The Ozzman]

Yeah, Rabid decided to be a faggot and choose 3 records.

You fail.

 

[Matt]

Yeah, Painkiller fucking sucks.

I only voted for one because I haven't heard the whole discog yet

I should have said 'Choose a maximum of 2'

I only had Stained Class, Sad Wings and Screaming until 2 weeks ago.

 

[Jreg]

The two obvious choices here are Sad Wings and Stained Class.

Bingo. I'd consider pretty much everything from Sad Wings to British Steel as essential Priest, but these two are particularly good.

 

[ThisIsACoolName]

I'm a little surprised that someone picked Point of Entry. It has it moments (All The Way, Troubleshooter), but it's just such a generally weak album compared to all the rest. At least on Turbo it sounded like they were trying. (Turbo also gets some big points for Turbo Lover and Reckless).

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Painkiller with SFV close 2nd.

 

[IWP]

I would've given Turbo a vote, but I could only choose two, and I like Painkiller and Stained Class better.
