Well, that seems reasonable since they released their first album in '77 .

If they are new to your ears Harkat, start with their earlier stuff.. Like these albums..

Or just get your hands on the Essentials

But anything Judas Priest does is golden..

Harkat · 09-02-2010, 09:05 AM

only four albums xD

No.. They have loads of good albums.. I just wanted to recommend these four since they have some great stuff on there..
They changed sounds somewhat during the 80's.. But they always come back to some great Metal songs.. Their Ballads are awesome in my book..
Spend a little time in this thread and listen to some that were posted..

Then I put on some Rocka Rolla and spent a little time with the CHEATER~

My favorite too Bucky, it encompasses the entire range of Priest and my first album of theirs too.

My favorites are Painkiller and Stained Class. Hell Bent for Leather would probably be next after Sad Wings of Destiny. So still top 5 on my list.

Harkat · 09-19-2010, 01:44 AM

Painkiller is pretty epic, well sung and well played

**Lord Grendel** · 09-24-2010, 06:44 PM

Speaking of Painkiller it is next on my list. After two less than satisfying albums in their own mind Priest changed their producer, and replaced their old drummer with a new firebrand named Scott Travis who's presence helped rekindle the fire in the band.

From the first notes of this massive album you can tell Priest was done messing around with mainstream metal, and wholly embraced the thrash and speed metal they helped to create, and also pulled it off in grand style. I always love it when a band left for dead rises up and takes you by the throat and let's you know they are not going anywhere and that they can still kick ass with the best of their contemporaries and the new kids on the block as well. This 1990 release is a must have for all Judas Priest fans, it heralds a return of the legends to their proper perch atop the metal arena, for a little while longer at least.
