Judas Priest: The '70's

[Lynch]

It would be easy to take Unleased In the East since it's completely full of some of there greatest songs... but I'm going to just look at the studio albums.


As studio albums go, I'd rank them as follows:

1) Hell Bent For Leather
2) Stained Class
3) Sad Wings of Destiny
4) Sin After Sin
5) Rocka Rolla

I find very little with Judas Priest that I don't like though. Been a fan for many years and as the years go by, I like them more and more (if that's possible).

Hell Bent For Leather! Although I greatly like and also play Unleashed in The East quite a lot, too!

 

[METALPRIEST]

I should have voted for Sad Wings

Oh well...I'm just gonna leave it....

I like Unleashed enough

^^^There's no crying in a Priest poll, MP!

^^ Oh yeah......eh-hem....*sniff*.....

OK I'm alright now

 

[b.o.b.]

Sad Wings of Destiny for me.

 

[Big Ears]

I think the songs on Sad Wings of Destiny were written by Priest's first lead singer, Al Atkins, before he departed to make way for Halford. It was also produced by Jeffrey Calvert & Max West of Typically Tropical, who did not work with the band again. That's why they could never reach those heights again. Turn them up loud and Victim of Changes and The Ripper will strip the paint from your walls.

Why are some calling it Stained Glass, its Stained Class lol
And I voted Killing Machine (Hell Bent For Leather).

People have been calling that album Stained Glass for as long as I can remember. Might have something to do with the 'glassy' image on the cover. *shrug*

Still makes me laugh when JP fans say it though.


(BTW: fixed the spelling in the poll)

In fairness I first read it as Glass when I bought my copy of the album so I can see why people did call it that initially.
