Best Priest records??

[timmyc]

OK, so I have just got into Painkiller these last 3 weeks (yep - I've been a bit slow with these guys!!), and want to know what Judas Priest records I should check out next???

Cheers.

 

[mrthrax]

screaming for vengeance is a great record but painkiller is it for me

 

[Arg_Hamster]

Screaming for vengeance.

 

[Schurl]

Defenders Of The Faith.

 

[Metal Thrashing Mark]

Point of Entry & Sad Wings Of Destiny.

 

[MikeyBong]

Pick up Metal Works '73-'93. It's a great best-of 2 CD set. If you're just getting into Priest, this is a perfect way to get to know their best stuff!

 

[ZTPioneer]

Stained Class and British Steel.
And def. NOT the new one.

 

[Bass Fellow]

Screaming...or Defenders..."Freewheel Burning" video was on the tube the other day.

 

[Anthrax_Mosher]

Defenders of the faith or Living after midnight.

 

[Stormwatch]

Killing Machine (or Hell Bent For Leather for you Yanks) is their best IMO. Sad WIngs is amazing too, and I also fucking LOVE the new album. ZTPioneer - what's up with the new album? It's brilliant - I prefer it to Painkiller.

Painkiller and Demolition.
AOR sucks balls.

 

[Stormwatch]

No. You do. I don't know how you can recommend Demolition then say AOR sucks balls. What are you? Deaf?
Demolition is alright (Machine Man is great) but it's probably Priest's worst album (Maybe Turbo). AOR has some amazing songs on it.
Ah well, I suppose you're entitled to an opinion, even if you're clearly a crazy loon.

Demolition was a fresh album where each song sounds entertaining to me,
while AOR is totally unfresh, nostalgic cheap ripoff of the old Priest days, with maybe one good song or two.

THe new Priest is ok. I'm suprised by all of the critical praise for the album. Then again I'm also suprised by how much Demolition is panned.

 

[Profanity]

Stained Class is an example of the classic Priest sound and Defenders Of The Faith is also the classic Priest sound but more mettalic and brutal.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Sin After Sin is brillant.

 

[timmyc]

Thanks people!

 

[Sgt-D]

Metal Works is definately the best way to go. Other killer albums of theres are Screaming for Vengeance, British Steel, Hell Bent For Leather/Killing Machine (depends where ya live, yo), & Defenders of The Faith.

 

[Stormwatch]

I got a compilation type thing called "Hero, Hero" and it's got the really early stuff on it. 'Tis great - the song "Rocka Rolla" is brilliant.

 

[I Don't Die]

Angel Of Retribution is awesome. What the fuck is wrong with you people.

Stained Class, Screaming For Vengence, Defenders Of The Faith. Painkiller

Pretty much all the early stuff.
