I see Union has taken full advantage of the fact that you can vote for as many as you like in this poll, lol. That was meant in case people like to differentiate between best and favorite, but who am I to stop you? Listening through Stained Class again, just killer stuff.

Welcome friend! Like your sketch! You're into some great music! Look forward to your future posts! :D

I did do a quick search just to make sure this thread didn't already exist, but I will look into some more priest threads. Thanks! In the meantime, what's everyone's favorite Priest album? Maybe I should've done a poll, maybe I can still add one. So far Stained Class is looking like my favorite, and I've only heard Sad Wings Of Destiny, British Steel, Screaming For Vengeance, and Stained Class so far. British Steel might be right after it for me. It's hard to pick a favourite album, even their so-called bad albums are good, in the Halford-era anyway. Haven't heard anything I disliked yet! And there's the poll! :D

So I couldn't find an official Judas Priest thread in my quick search (please correct me if I'm wrong), thus I decided to start one, as Judas Priest might be slowly becoming my favorite metal band. I've just gotten Stained Class out from the library and am listening to it now....my my my, and I thought Screaming For Vengeance was good, this is great! Anyway, I'm very new to Priest and wouldn't say I'm much of a dedicated "fan" yet, but the point is I'm starting to think I soon might be, so here's a thread for anyone to post anything about 'em. Rock on, Metal Gods! I need to buy this album ASAP.

I believe we adjusted this rule on the last page if you care to check.

Incredible

Most hilarious 12 bar blues I've ever heard. Good one.

Might wanna read the OP again. I said "yeah" is a qualified exception to the word rule. Mainly because it would disqualify that particular scream, and nobody wants that. :rfl: How about if the exception is for one-syllable words? Seems fair (and no less arbitrary)! ...hm, well, I'll tell you what. Folks can post whatever screams they like, and we'll let the quality of the scream determine whether or not its content can be a word or a yelp.

Yes.

Much as I love that one..."back" is a word. :(

Ok, this thread can be closed now. Not according to me :)

Yes

I'll make an exception for Ged there. Love that one.

What are the greatest screams in rock and roll according to you? Is it Steven Tyler's infamous Dream On howl? Roger Daltrey's impassioned yelp in Won't Get Fooled Again? Even Axl Rose's crescendo scream at the start of Welcome To The Jungle is up for grabs! Just try and keep it to onomonopeic and basic scream syllables (I.e. Avoid words in the scream, we want stuff like "ah," "oh," "woo," or even "yeah," but not "baby" and other more lyrical words, you know what I mean) I think it's tough to top Steven Tyler's Dream On "AAAA-Aaaaaaah!"

Since last time I posted: ITunes: Kanye West - Late Registration Anthrax - Among The Living PFM - Per Un Amico MisterWives - Machine Vinyl: Wishbone Ash - Live Dates David Bowie - Diamond Dogs Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells Plus a bunch of classical records and four Maynard Fergusan records (can't remember the titles rn) Today (vinyl): Genesis - Invisible Touch The Beatles - The Beatles (the white album) The White Album on vinyl with poster and portraits of each Beatle, with no indication that it was published after 1968...for 16 bucks. Score.

You're a tad too early my friend. Why don't you check your calendar?

Favs: BAAAYCK, Last Child, Nobody's Fault Least fav: Get The Lead Out (if only for the opening lyric, "hey good lookin'...")

Today, TK, we agree. QUEEN.

I repeat, Live Dates is excellent. One of my new favs. Andy Powell is an incredible guitarist.

Meg White - bass drum Steve Hackett - electric sitar Eminem - singing vocals only Yoko Ono - art screaming Dusty Hill - acoustic bass guitar (mariachi style) Kenny G - Bass saxophone Wynton Marsalis - piccolo trumpet the one-armed guy from Def Leapard - high-hat Lars Ulrich - snare Yo Yo Ma - electric viola without a bow John Williams - composition Alex Lifeson - lyrics and triangle Earl - Crash cymbals

Been on a big Bowie kick the past few days. Learned the Rebel Rebel riff from ear/memory, listened to ChangesBowie with Dad on my way home, been listening to a lot of Diamond Dogs cuz I just got it, listened back through all of the albums of his that I own slightly over a week ago, played an acoustic rendition of Space Oddity live for lots of friends and peers last Thursday night while still on campus, and just in general have had lots and lots of Bowie running through my head. Now I remember why I decided he's my fifth favorite artist, and why it isn't Yes, or Weezer, or Aerosmith, or Floyd, or the Beatles, or something else not quite up to snuff. Also Bowie had one of the few truly inspiring careers in the rock and roll cannon, especially at the end last year. Reminds me so much of Freddie, but he did things very differently nonetheless which I also admire. Plus he played sax, and I play sax, and that's awesome.

Many questions, many possible answers I can give. For the shortened nighttime response... There was a brief (in hindsight) but definite period right around junior high when I really started getting into music where I outright believed good music wasn't being made anymore and hadn't been made since the 80s, except in a particular few cases (things I was already familiar with). The short story is that then someone online questioned me on this belief when I was in a more open minded mood at the start of high school, and I asked them to recommend good new music to me (he knew the basic of my taste already). that's where I met and fell in love with Muse, and decided the new stuff could actually be excellent under the right conditions. It still too some time after that, but I eventually came to the logical realization that there's great and terrible music in every era, and I just have to put in the effort to find it. That old rejection did remanifest itself as a disdain for rap, hip-hop, and top 40 "pop-slop," a grudge which decayed into a distaste which has now decayed into a more open minded approach to all genres, but taking anything poppy on the charts with a few grains of salt and skepticism. I do still retain my rejections of Justin Beiber and One Direction; I continue to refuse to give them a fair shot on principle that they won't be worth my time. But most anyone else I can be talked into reviewing my opinion on, or at least putting a bit more effort into my analyses. So yeah, there's great new music out there, but especially when immersed in any of the "classic rock" cultural contexts, it can be difficult to realize this at times, let alone find the good new music.

Hard to argue against Stairway really.
