Right on man! My uncle introduced me to Judas Priest when about 22 years ago at the ripe age of 10 and I can't thank him enough. I still remember it was the Sad Wings Of Destiny album and the hair on the back of my neck stood up and I got goose bumbs. Changed my life forever! The deserve to be in the Hall Of Fame for sure.
My very first concert was Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. Priest just put out Point of Entry and Maiden was touring Killers (still had Di'anno singing). Kicked ass.
