Hmmm... not much into metal bands so I know little on them,,,,what is their best lp according to fans and critics?
Grabbed this so you can get an idea of the band in question..
English heavy metal band Judas Priest have released 18 studio albums, six live albums, seven compilation albums, 29 singles, 10 video albums, and 21 music videos. The band currently consists of bassist Ian Hill, drummer Scott Travis, singer Rob Halford, and guitarists Glenn Tipton and Richie Faulkner. After guitarist K. K. Downing's retirement from the band in 2011, bassist Ian Hill is the only remaining founding member.
Judas Priest has been around for decades!! Their best album would be up to how much of a fan of them are you and who your talking too.
Early Judas Priest albums for me really lock in how versatile the band is..
Lot's of heavy metal riffs and superb ballads.. with Rob Halford vocals hitting beyond expectations of a frontman..
To me the band has that metal moniker, but is more tamer than metal bands.. Sure they get the energy going in their heavier songs, But they can cool it down with a sweeping ballad that leaves you floating in some fable journey.
To me, they are close to Black Sabbath style metal..
