Best Song Off This Album, Poll # 6: Judas Priest - Stained Class (1978)

[Canadian Air Force]

Sorry, I wasn't on that much last week. Things got pretty hectic. I'll try to post more this week.

I don't know if it was a slow week/poor choice of albums or what, but voter turnout declined big time with the last two polls despite being up for an entire week. Hopefully things pick up this week.

This album was requested by fellow CRFer, runningshoes. I'm open to requests which can be made in the topic polls or via private message. I can't promise you that the album will be done right away so be patient.

Did you know there is a documentary about a song off this album? 1990 would see a court case against Judas Priest over the song "Better By You, Better Than Me" where a young man supposedly shot himself after hearing this song....the whole ordeal was made into a documentary called "Dream Deceivers".


I voted Beyond the Realms of Death.

This is my favourite Priest album and I was curious what everyone liked on it. It's a toss up for me between Better By You, Better Than Me and Hero's End. Right now it's BBYBTM. It a great album from start to finish though.

The kid supposedly heard Halford say "Do it" at some point in the song. I've never heard it myself. Perhaps someone can point out for me where it supposedly is in the song.

Stained Glass is a very good record RS, but this one will always be my personal favorite.
