Turbo Lover and Reckless are both very good. Other than that, it's pretty meh. Those two songs, though, fucking own.
Priest or Maiden?

oh noes itz a opinionn
Neither one of us are old enough to have followed the band through the 80's, we only know what we read & what people tell us about those times. I've never heard that album, but I know the song "Turbo Lover".

I've got all their studio albums. I think I can make a judgement on them and compare them to other stuff. Do I really need to have been there? I mean you don't rate an album on how they play it live anyway.
Okay, so which album out of these do you all think is the best:
Ram It Down
Point of Entry
Turbo

best to worst, as you wrote them. Ram it down is a fun build up to painkiller and the title track has gloriously cheesy lyrics. I absolutely love it.
Belligerent
Greekus Urungus

in all honesty choosing between them is impossible, both bands have hit and miss albums

Clearly Turbo is the weakest, but I honestly have a tough time choosing between the other two.
Point of Entry, I suppose, it not quite as "metal" as one might want a Priest album to be, and of course Ram it Down was probably their heaviest album until Painkiller. My complaint with RiD, however, is that it feels a little too... I don't know, "polished" for me. I like metal that has a more "organic" feel to it.

Priest have done more for metal as we know it today, than ANY other band, including Black Sabbath, if you ask me. Sabbath may have officially started it, but Priest refined it and brought in the jazz, folk, and classical influences that are so common in modern metal.
Maiden, similar to Sabbath, pretty much stuck to their original, blues-heavy, pentatonic sound, whereas Priest have changed dramatically from their early days. They've done it all.
And Ram it Down wins out of the three. The title track, Heavy Metal, Hard as Iron, Blood Red Skies? Come on, that's a good album!

It's rare that someone can continue to be so fucking right for so fucking long. Good stuff.

Anyone who thinks Priest isn't as good as Maiden needs to listen to Bruces out of tone singing again.

Yeah, Halford's possibly even gotten better over the years while Bruce has probably declined.
Oh, btw, Bruce's solo stuff >>>>>>>>>>>> Halford.

Anyone who thinks a Priest vs Maiden poll is synonymous to a Dickenson vs Halford poll is a gimp. The first two Maiden albums weigh heavily into my opinion.
