I was a Priest fanatic up until British Steel so maybe I left some albums out (other option)
I loved Stained Class, British Steel and Wings.
I vote for Sad Wings of Destiny, one of the best metal albums ever made.

I'm not exactly a fan of Judas Priest, but Sad Wings Of Destiny is still one of my favourite albums

"Sad Wings of Destiny" is a masterpiece. Then I'd say "Screaming for Vengeance" and also the underrated "Point of Entry".

although I followed Priest until Britsh Steel , Sad Wings od Destiny is the only album I owned and I played it until the vinyl was transparent Big smile  > bought the latest re-issue in digipack
 
I must say that even Sin After Sin or any of the other albums do not come to knee-height of SWOD
 
BTW SAS comes after SWODWink

Well, at least you should be glad he included albums as great as TURBO and RAM IT DOWN. LOL
 
I voted for 'Painkiller'. Simply amazing.

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

Hell Bent For Leather

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.

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.

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

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...

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.

"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)

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...": One of the greatest Metal albums EVER!!!
