Screaming for vengeance, Jugulator, Painkiller. Not in that order

Jugulator is awesome!

u/megatron37 avatar

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.

u/RedCedarSavage avatar

British Steel, Screaming for Vengeance, and…you ready? POINT OF ENTRY.

Yep, I said it.

Point Of Entry is criminally underrated.

u/RedCedarSavage avatar

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

Edited

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

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.

u/SavingsAd1102 avatar

Screaming for Vengeance, Painkiller, and British Steel. Stained Class, Defenders of the Faith, and Sad Wings of Destiny are my runner-ups.

Replace painkiller with sin after sin and we’re good

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.

Whichever one’s that have my 3 favorite JP songs:

3. Freewheel burning

2. Victim of changes

  1. Dissident Agressor

u/SpergSkipper avatar

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

u/OkBusiness3879 avatar

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.

  1. Screaming for Vengeance

  2. Stained Class

  3. Painkiller

On a side note, pretty awesome to see how different people’s top 3s are. Shows how great of a catalog they have.
