It was a toss-up between Sin After Sin, Stained Class, and Painkiller...  Stained Class gets spun the most in my world, so that's vote.

Sin After Sin, they have many many references to rpog and prog metal.

Also i like almost all of his material (including turbo).

The Nostradamus cd is really awesome, they deserve to be in PA.

I'm very atached to Point of entry, my fav JP album, even is not so well seen by many. The vocal arrangements are brilliant and the most diverse they ever done so far. I like a lot JP, everything they done from the beggining 'till Paikillers is excellent, even Turbo has many great parts.

Defenders of the faith is the best album of Priest. After their attempts to conquer the American market with Point of entry & Screaming for vengeance, it was time to keep their European fans satisfied. There are no weak songs on Defenders, in fact it was the best record since Sad wings of destiny. Even Turbo is progressive with its guitarsynths,within'a year Maiden did the same. Defenders belongs to the records i heard the most in my youth.

Only five votes for Painkiller, what the fudge? Scott Travis from Racer X joins and pounds the hell out the drum and blast some crazy double bass, Rob Helford sings gloriously, tippon and downing shred so hard and fast, it melts your face. Painkiller is the greatest album they've ever done and one of the best metal albums of the 90's, way better than that metallica black album garbage.

not to be annoying by posting twice in a row but, British Steel and Screaming for Vengeance are tied for second. Those and painkiller to me are the greatest achievements of Judas Priest. Now to get back to shredding on electric eye on guitar hero 80's edition : )

Nobody voted for Hell Bent For Leather.   That's my favorite.

I saw them when they were promoting this album.  They were the warm-up group for UFO.

Defenders of The Faith have one of the best opener for a all time album, Freewheel Burning.

Wow, brutal deciding between "Sad Wings" and "Stained Class." But ultimately I chose "Sad Wings." Those two albums are among the top half-dozen metal albums of all-time. "Sin After Sin" and "Hell Bent For Leather" are great albums, as well. But, starting with 1980's "British Steel," the Priest lost their mystique. All that "United" "Take on the World" crap made me want to commit suicide, not anything off "Stained Class."  And "Painkiller" sucks, too. What an overrated album. Sorry, just because they returned to their roots, doesn't mean they wrote many great songs for that album. It's criminal at the time of my writing that there are as many people here who choose "Painkiller" as their fave as there are those who list "Sin After Sin," "Stained Class" and "Hell Bent For Leather" combined. Are you kidding me?

If Priest never released Sad Wings, my vote would have been Stained Class or Killing Machine (which has even fewer votes).

I went with Screaming For Vengeance, since it's my favorite. I can see why a Prog board would lean toward Sad Wings Of Destiny. My second choice would probably be British Steel.

I would have to vote for Sin after Sin just for The Last Rose of Summer. Definately one of my favorites.  It also has the heaviest song ever, Dissident Agressor.
