As You can see on the ratings I'm not the largest Priest fan even if I enjoy most of their records to some extent. There's something with their style that didn't click with me in the way other similar bands did (Iron Maiden, Saxon for example).
I would however never downplay the importence of their legacy in the history of metal. They are truly up there along with Black Sabbath, Scorpions, Deep Purple as the bands that early on shaped heavy metal.

1.Judas Priest - Sad Wings Of Destiny

2.Judas Priest - Painkiller

3.Judas Priest - Nostradamus

4.Judas Priest - Stained Class
