You nailed it
Sad Wings of Destiny, Stained Class, Sin After Sin
Fellow oldhead 🤘
1-Sad Wings Of Destiny.
2-Defenders Of The Faith.
3-Painkiller.
This is the answer 🤘
Defenders of the Faith
Painkiller
Stained Class
British Steel
Screaming For Vengeance
Painkiller
Stained Class
Sad Wings Of Destiny
Screaming For Vengeance
Painkiller, Defenders of the Faith, Turbo
Turbo love. That’s a rare find.
Sin After Sin, Unleashed In The East, SWOD.
Screaming for Vengeance, Painkiller, Firepower
Firepower is a fucking awesome album
Screaming for vengeance, Jugulator, Painkiller. Not in that order
Jugulator is awesome!
These are mine, too. I saw Priest live friday night in Newark and saw a dude rocking a Jugulator shirt, gave him the hell yeah nod.
Painkiller
Streaming for Vengeance
Firepower
British Steel, Screaming for Vengeance, and…you ready? POINT OF ENTRY.
Yep, I said it.
Point Of Entry is criminally underrated.
Preach brother. Yes, there are some decidedly unorthodox songs on there—not bad, mind you, just different—but Heading Out, Desert Plains and Solar Angels are…top 15 maybe?…all time for me.
On one record!
Screaming, Defenders, & Stained Class
Defenders of the Faith, Screaming for Vengeance, and British Steel. To be honest, it's a hard pick because I love their 70s stuff equally (and all of it, as I said, it's a hard pick), but those ones hold a nostalgic place in my heart.
Killing Machine, Painkiller, Screaming For Vengeance
Defenders'
Killing'/Hell Bent'
Painkiller
stained class, painkiller, sad wings of destiny
Same as myself
Sad wings of destiny, painkiller, killing machine
Defenders Stained Class Screaming for Vengeance
Painkiller, Nostradamus, Defenders of the Faith.
Nostradamus love, yes!
SWOD, SC, Painkiller
Sad Wings, Stained Class, Screaming.
SWOD, Defenders, Painkiller
I'd put Defenders fourth and swap it out for British Steel in second. I do have to admit Defenders is growing on me.
Hellbent is the honorable mention.
Screaming for Vengeance, Painkiller, and British Steel. Stained Class, Defenders of the Faith, and Sad Wings of Destiny are my runner-ups.

British Steel, Painkiller, Firepower
SFV, Stained Class, Sin After Sin
Screaming, Unleashed, and another from their 70s back catalogue - currently SWOD, but easily could be SC, SAS, or KM.

Hell Bent For Leather
Screaming For Vengeance
Whichever one’s that have my 3 favorite JP songs:
3. Freewheel burning
2. Victim of changes
Dissident Agressor
There is so much variation it's impossible to choose. I'd have to give my top 3 'early' albums, top 3 80s albums and top 3 modern albums
Point of Entry, Screaming for Vengeance, and Defenders of the Faith.
Hellbent For Leather, Firepower, British Steel.
Painkiller, Defenders of the Faith, Stained Class
Lurking just behind this unholy trinity is the mighty Firepower, an album I fell in love with rather recently, but which has become a much bigger favorite than I would ever have expected. Richie Faulkner has a lot to do with this.
Pick any 3 Halford-era albums. Those are my top three.
Screaming for Vengeance
Stained Class
Painkiller
On a side note, pretty awesome to see how different people’s top 3s are. Shows how great of a catalog they have.
