Sad Wings Of Destiny is my favorite of theirs. Victims of Change is just a masterpiece. But they are simply one of the Gods of Metal so aside from maybe one or two albums , you can’t go wrong with any of their works.

I love the variety that a Judas Priest ranking can have. Personally, Screaming For Vengeance and Painkiller are my two favorite albums, but with their discography, they've got one of the best greatest hits compilation ever. Definitely gonna have to disagree with you on Turbo. Those 80s synth drums drive me up the damn wall, which is also why Defenders of the Faith is middling for me.

[@IHATEDRIVING2]

That's right, that's why I love this band they can sound too heavy or too poppy. Top rocker or too doomy. Too fast or too slow. Thats is why I like their unpopular albums too" like Turbo, Point of Entry, Nostradamus and Demolition. But when I was new to this band I didnt liked much Turbo and Point of Entry becasue the lack of the metal element in Point of Entry and the synths in Turbo. But now I love the whole discography.

[@PacifistNihilist]

Electric Eye is my favorite Judas Priest song. Their live video of the song is gnarly as fuck.

[@mindsetmaxi]

My ranking is soooo similar to yours - fuc*ing love Turbo too! Stained Class has a very high spot for me as well. Sadly never got into Defenders Of The Faith that much, but things can change over time. Just listened to British Steel yesterday and man this always brings me back to the roots: I discovered Judas Priest back in the day by listening to Living After Midnight. Still love that track, no matter what people say with stuff like "commercial radio hit" and "overplayed" - just love it.❤

[@odysseyb1ue]

Great fun watching this! and agree to large extent on your run down. only recently discovered this vid after recently getting massively back into Priest. Anyway...One word to describe ''Defenders of the faith' - exhilarating! The band are at their absolute peak on this beast of an album. Everything about it from Rob's incredible soaring vocals to Glen and KK's masterful duelling guitars is immense..Production, song writing, the performances all five stars. If there is a better or more perfect flowing rock/metal album to drive to - then I'm yet to hear it! I love it even more now (if possible) since they added the bonus track 'turn on your lights' This beautiful song adds an even greater depth to the album and is the perfect closer.. 1 Defenders of the Faith - half the album would likely feature in my top 10 songs from Priest. The Sentinel is certainly one of them too! 2 Sad Wings of Destiny 3 Stained Class 4 British Steel - The Rage and Steeler and are two of the most underrated songs. The bludgeoning riff ending to Steeler is sheer metal brilliance.. 5 Screaming for Vengeance - another great ballad in 'Prisoner of your eyes' from the Turbo sessions added to compliment this album superbly 6 Sin after Sin 7 Rocka Rolla - The more I understand the journey of Priest through the years, the more I look back on this album and love it. 8 Turbo - love the fact they didn't play it safe by repeating the formula from Screaming/Defenders

Ram it down so underrated by you, why? It paved the way for painkiller (hard as iron, blood red skies) and also has catchy turbo like anthems (love you to death, monsters of rock). Ok there's no drummer there but a drum maschine but still a decent album. Defenders forever the best I agree

I also really enjoy the (often maligned) song Loch Ness. The Turbo album don't do much for me though, it would be near the bottom for me together with Nostradamus, Ram It Down, Rocka rolla and Demolition.

[@davidknichal6629]

Wel well well Nostradamus as a concept album is pretty hard to rank. I definitely do understand people do not like it. Back in 2008 was JP fanbase not prepared for deep philosophical album like this one. Too many people got used to simple radiofriendly undemanding songs with poor lyrics, but Nostradamus on the other side is completely different and that is why I love it so much. Yeah it was obvious guys had no experience with making of a conceptual albums, but I totally dig, what they did here. Usual flaws like too slow and weak guitar, nearly no faster songs (with the exception of Persecution and eponymous one), poor production that makes everything look really bad, but that songs are so great. Alone - a nostalgic rebellious anthem criticizing our society, Death - a doomy massacrious opus magnum that probably could have been speeded up and Exiled - super chorus nothing to criticize

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

I dig Rocka Rolla quite a bit, I think the production of it isn't as heavy as some of their later 70's albums but the songwriting is there even if it's no stained class I still hold it somewhere in the middle. Sin After Sin is a bit low, starbreaker and dissident aggressor are top 10 Priest tracks in my book. Killing Machine is also awesome, not top 5 but pretty close. I agree British Steel is a bit overrated, it's too commercial sounding at times. Turbo is of course no way near Sin After Sin in my book, Angel of Retribution is good but not amongst their best, I wouldn't put anything post Painkiller on the top half. ;) I subscribed btw and I also create metal videos if you didn't know. ;) Cheers!

The worst Priest album is still better than the best album of so many bands. That is why os hard to rate them.

Truer words have never been spoken

Least favourite- Nostradamus: Yep that time they thought they were a symphonic metal band. I like symphonic metal. When it's done right it can be amazing as it allows bands to be really creative. But this is just plain boring. Too many ballads for a start, the blandest concept you can think of with very few memorable moments. This album is great if you suffer from insomnia because it will put you to sleep in no time. Favourite- Painkiller: Defenders Of The Faith was my favourite but in the last year iv leaned more towards Painkiller. I love the blend of thrash and power metal. It's the fastest, most aggressive, all tracks are iconic and the production is superb with the loud screeching guitars and drums that sound like a WW2 artillery bombardment!

1 Jugulator 2 Turbo

Wow 😄 definitely not tryna be edgy huh?

[@scooter29]

Turbo ahead of British Steel doesn’t seem right but other than that I thought it was pretty accurate.

[@Flugmorph]

can't go wrong with any priest album to be honest.

[@gpgpgpgp1000]

If I live to be 150 years old, I will NEVER understand how ANYONE ranks Jugulator above Demolition!!

EASILY BRO....EASILY!

[@StoneColdClassics]

1. Painkiller 2. Screaming for Vengeance 3. Defenders of the Faith 4. Stained Class 5. Sad Wings of Destiny 6. British Steel 7. Firepower 8. Sin After Sin 9. Hellbent for Leather 10. Angel of Retribution Not really a fan of the rest. Everything above is at least an 8/10 and they’re maybe my favorite band ever but everything else is just so boring compared to everything else.

[@JCStorm76]

Killing Machine is way too low in my opinion. You said it’s front loaded? Just about all their albums are. It’s one of their best, a classic. Way better than a album like the average Redeemer Of Souls just for example. Firepower isnt bad but it’s overrated. Ram It Down, Turbo and Point Of Entry are all underrated. Worst one is Jugulator, it isn’t that good itself but at least Demolition has some melody and catchy choruses. Best 5 Defenders Of The Faith (we agree there) Screaming For Vengeance Painkiller Killing Machine British Steel

[@puneeth1551]

Please rank Pestilence albums

[@gooljunior]

I also am a huge fan of Turbo

[@Jayagebee]

Firepower is my favourite! Jugulator is a pile of horseshit from start to finnish and Demolition has a few bright spots, but Metal Messiah is undoubtedly Priest’s worst song... British Steel is overrated as f***

[@Jayagebee]

@Sir Norman In preparation for a forthcoming Priest concert (which was cancelled/postponed) I went on a Priest marathon, and I was baffled by the fact that something SO recent from a veteran band like them had beaten Sad Wings of Destiny or Stained Class off the top spot after my chronological listening!

[@davidknichal6629]

@@Jayagebee When I first listened to Firepower I thought it is unbelievable they produced something like THIS at their mighty age, but now it seems after 4 years people still DO like it and it was not a miracle but a reality. I have read many many reviews and Firepower made it into the TOP 10 JP albums of all times at least so I guess it is not a coincidence at all. Old dinos produced one of their TOP 10 albums. I ranked FP at Nr. 6 and imho it is says a lot about this album. Totally dig Spectre and Never the Heroes.

[@IHATEDRIVING2]

I prefer Nostradamus, Jugulator and Demolition over Point of Entry.

[@metalero2311]

I skip those albums 18. Demolition 17. Nostradamus The "meh" albums. Listenable, but not essential in my collection 16. Redeemer of Souls 15. Point of Entry Damn right they are ESSENTIAL 14. Jugulator 13. Turbo 12. Rocka Rolla 11. Angel of Retribution 10. British Steel 9. Killing Machine 8. Firepower 7. Ram It Down 6. Defenders of the Faith 5. Sin After Sin 4. Sad Wings of Destiny 3. Painkiller 2. Screaming For Vengeance 1. Stained Class

[@tackle47]

Sorry to each their own but I hate Turbo. Still remember getting it when it came out and I carry a grudge. Top to bottom is Screaming for me. Defenders had higher points aka The Sentinel but also a couple of fillers.

[@marksantucci4230]

is Jugilator heavier than Painkiller? I thought Painkiller was there heaviest? Turbo is pop Metal, Metal God told us and he knows? only ranking the classic 80's 7. Ramit down 6. Painkiller 5. Turbo 4. Point of Entry 3.British steele 2. Defenders of the Faith 1. Screaming for Vengence as far as Turbo and Point of Entry go there much better than Angel of retribution , Redemer of souls,, Fire power?

[@darkmarv8045]

Yeah, Jugulator is heavier than Painkiller Painkiller is speed metal, Jugulator is thrash/groove metal with very thrashy riffs and aggressive vocals.

[@jamesparker2209]

No shame in admitting that turbo is my favourite album of there entrie catalogue
