2) SCREAMING for VENGEANCE by JUDAS PRIEST

"Screaming for Vengeance has some great songs on it, but it's not even one of Judas Priest's best albums. I don't consider it a classic." - @crimsonfloyd

"Screaming for Vengeance > Stained Class > Sad Wings of Destiny > Sin After Sin > British Steel > Who Cares" - @TechnicalBarbarity

"Screaming for Vengeance is Judas Priest's vision of heavy metal fully realized, and probably my favorite of theirs despite huge love for Stained Class and Sad Wings." - @EternalMetal

1) the NUMBER of the BEAST by IRON MAIDEN

the-number-of-the-beast-5c5ca5d386936.jpg

"Number of the Beast is Iron Maiden's best album, and certainly most consistent." - @alex76

"Well I disagree. I think it's a hugely overrated album and I've never understood its status as Iron Maiden's most classic album. Definitely the weakest of the first 5." - @Phylactery

"Number of the Beast is actually the least consistent album of classic Maiden." - @EspaDa

"Number of the Beast is the weakest of the first three Bruce albums imo. Maybe it's a little more diverse than Killers but Killers has better rhythms and aggression." - @HamburgerBoy

"Number of the Beast is fucking flawless." - @alex76
