Voted for Sad Wings of Destiny, though it's really a tie between it and Sin After Sin. Anyway, I love all JP albums up to Defenders of the Faith.

hmmmm... 5 years on the forum.. and it still amazes me best - of the highest quality, excellence, or standing:
favorite - a person or thing regarded with special favor or preference: then again these kinds of polls are easy... when it is both... now THIS is prog-metal. But don't count on the site to let anyone know that...

Best is often the same as favorite but I'm looking for the favorite

best is not the same as favorite... hence the dictionary  but I've given up trying to get people to think beyond simply what they like.. that is why most reviews here suck.

I agree with you about the definitions being quite different. What I meant to say is the best is often the favorite. I'd say that the "best" JP album would have to be Painkiller.

I've always been a huge fan of their early stuff.. then again... I am of most groups. All the best material that has for years been reheased.. thought of... and when you get a chance to put albums out... you have that certain creativity and energy that for me is simply missing when you are making albums.. to put a another Bentley in the garage... not trying to avoid going back to the factory or the street...

What a tough poll....I'll vote for Sad Wings as well. It's a fantastic album.
By the way, it's "Stained Class", not "Strained Glass"  |

"Strained" was a typing error but "glass" is what I honestly, mistakenly assumed. Riveting

Sad Wings rules
|
|
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

No votes for British Steel? That's surprising... It has great reviews in all the rock mags over here.

How on earth has Painkiller not got any votes yet?
It gets mine.

I've got to give it to Sad Wings of Destiny. Killing Machine is a close second as it is a nice bridge between their somewhat proggy early days to their straight forward hard rock/metal of the 80s.
Still hard to beat Victim of Changes, The Ripper, and Dreamer Deceiver/Deceiver.

British Steel was the first record that I ever bought with my own money so it probably has that special meaning to me, but at any rate it is my favorite Priest album. I do like them from Rocka Rolla through Nostradamus, although I'm not all that keen on the Ripper Owens albums.
