GMD Poll: Judas Priest’s Discography Ranked

[crimsonfloyd]

When I hear Halford sing "Put your hands on your hips!" I want to smash the record in half.

 

[EspaDa]

Haha, yeah, ridiculous. Still, the album has some good tracks like the obvious pick Heading Out to the Highway, Hot Rockin' and my personal fav, Desert Plains. Troubleshooter is also good and many people seem to like Solar Angels but that song doesn't really draw my attention that much.

 

[Baroque]

British steel has like half of my favorite JP songs on one album, tracks 1,2,6,8. The others are all scattered around, Painkiller, Electric Eye, victim of changes, exciter. Outside of their hits the bands never fully grabbed me, they lack the kind of depth I look for. Not super heavy or progressive. Good for a singable radio tune now and then. Defenders of the faith the song is p cool.

 

[Onder]

1) Sad Wings of Destiny
2) Stained Class
3) Sin After Sin
4) Hell Bent for Leather
5) Screaming for Vengeance
6) Point of Entry
7) Defenders of the Faith
8) British Steel
9) Rocka Rolla
10) Turbo
11) Painkiller
12) Ram it Down
13) Redeemer of Souls
14) Nostradamus
15) Angel of Retribution
16) Demolition
17) Jugulator

This is not a finalized list. I will edit this later. I just wanted to type it out to get a record. I'm pretty confident on this list but I definitely need to relisten to the last 7 albums before I make my final list.

The first two are the same in my case. However I won't participate because I haven't heard some of the new albums. I don't think I plan to.

 

[The Ozzman]

On the positive side, British Steel is stronger than I remember. It's not the masterpiece that the mainstream media makes it out to be, but every song is at least solid, there are a number of legit classics, and there's a lot of fresh ideas on it.

100% agree with this. I was surprised how strong it was when I listened to it again. Definitely went up in value for me

 

[EspaDa]

Metal Gods is an utter shit for me. I hate that tune.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Yeah, I recently did the same with British Steel. It's a great record and super fun to put on.

I hadn't heard 7 of the bottom 8 before so wasn't missing much. Had to relisten to them all anyway. Rocka Rolla is my kinda thing in a big way. Knew Nostradamus quite well and never had a problem with it - nothing on it makes me cringe.

WTF NON-METAL ON A PRIEST ALBUM FUCK THIS PUSSY SHIT

 

[no country for old wainds]

speaking as a great lover of ballads, that song is fucking awful and the worst on that album by a thousand miles.

 

[CiG]

What the fuck is wrong with you...

 

[EspaDa]

Sin After Sin is a strange album. I'm literally fond of like 1/2 of the album. Sinner, Starbreaker, Diamonds & Rust and Dissident Aggressor. The rest does nothing for me.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I still love Starbreaker and all, but I never understand why the happy handclap song gets respect but not pure fuckin speed metal like Call for the Priest or grooving 70s perfection like Raw Deal.

 

[no country for old wainds]

What the fuck is wrong with you...

consensus agrees with me on this one brah. i'd understand if people were defending 'here come the tears' as it rules

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Consensus is full of people that dismiss Sin After Sin entirely, you belong with the rest of them fag
