Sad Wings of Destiny is my favorite. Painkiller second, Hell bent for Leather third. Their latest one, Angel of Retribution is weak and sooooo cheesy. Sin after Sin is not so good, but the song Dissident Aggressor is one of my favorite Priest songs.

"Sad wings of destiny" is at the top of the band's creativity...not really heavy metal just fully emotional epic ballads and "dynamite"rock 'n roll songs: A CLASSIC!!!! (and slightly progressive)

well, if you find any other albums showing the same kind of power, let me know. I love Painkiller for exactly the same reason, as i've posted here before.

I'm a big Fan of Priest and I like most of their albums; but Sreaming for Vengence is my fav.

Well, I'm not really familiar with Judas Priest Embarrassed but the only album I do have is Painkiller, and I absolutely love that one because of the enormous speed. You fart once and the album is over, while feeling like you've just enjoyed the best fart in a long long time...

a sadly incomplete poll...I voted Screaming.



You can add more options if you want, but call it killing Machine please.

IMHO, "Turbo" is not a bad album by any means - it's just different from what Priest were best known for. I always appreciate a band who try to push the envelope and come up with something unexpected, but I suppose the experiment just failed, especially as fans wanted them to do what they had been doing for years.

Toughest choice ever.
But considering how many times I listened to particular album - I'll go for TURBO. Even though it's universally hailed as their worst album.

Actually I like all of band's albums. The diversity, catchy songs and greatest heavy metal solos has always benn their strong side, and that's the reason I keep Priest in my Top 5.

I agree with Ivan - Painkiller for me! But I don't know the other albums well enough to make a final decision.
