Great list Eddie! The one surprise is no “The Sentinel”. That is certainly in my top 5. Thanks for sharing and here is to more Priest music! Get them in the Hall of Fame!!
Every live version of the Priest songs on the Unleased in the East album would make my top 20, easy. Add in Painkiller, Steeler, Freewheel Burning, Screaming for Vengeance, Solar Angels, and Dissident Aggressor, Killing Machine, and Rapid Fire.
I know Black Sabbath has often been recognized as the first heavy metal band, but I think Judas Priest was the first heavy metal band. I just find Priest’s music to be much harder edged than Sabbath, whose music was deeply rooted in the blues.
Not enough from Defenders of the Faith. That is my favorite Priest album. Not one bad song, no fillers. Love Bites, Eat Me Alive, Some Heads are Gonna Roll are the standouts.
Would also include the following:
Revolution
Living After Midnight
Dissident Aggressor
Turbo Lover
I don’t know what it is with Turbo Lover…Oy…LOL!
FYI, Defenders was my first rock concert experience ever, and that is the infamous one, where the fans destroyed all the seats at Madison Square Garden, getting Priest banned for life.
It took some time, but after a while Turbo grew on me, like a rash, or a fungus, and now I just can’t get rid of it!! – Turbo!! 😉 LOL!!!
My faves from the album ~ Out In The Cold, Wild Nights, Hot & Crazy Days, Locked In, Private Property, and of course, Turbo Lover. 🙂
A lot of my list I would change. The next list I’m gonna go through the catalogue extensively before I make it.
Dana now I think there’s a lot of songs I could of replaced Turbo Lover, or any other Turbo song, save Parental Guidance. I’m sure Eddie would rip into me for that one.
Was gonna call yesterday, good thing I didn’t. I was working today, so I missed today’s Trunk Nation. I totally forgot Solar Angels. At least, I didn’t add Jonny B Good.
Yes, Charles, thank God you didn’t. LOL!
