There's none on this one, the nearest one is Crown of Horns which some people bitched about when it was released as a single recently. It's more of a Desert Plains mid-paced melodic hard rock song though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 These guys impress me. Richie Faulkner saved this band. I'm enjoying this one more than a fair amount of their 70s material, to be completely honest. It's not their BEST album, but you could take a few from this, a few from Firepower, and maybe one or two from RoS and it'd be a top 5 Priest album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go back and forth a bit between Stained Class, Painkiller, and Screaming for Vengeance. Depends on the day. I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan of Priest like I am Maiden, but they scratch the itch.

They were still good & the 2 albums they put out after Rob rejoined are good (Angel is the better of the 2 IMO) but even so they were becoming a legacy band. Then KK left and Richie was a huge addition. The first album with him was good - about as good as Angel IMO. But when I saw the Battle Cry DVD it hit me they had some gas in the tank - that their was something there 2 watch. I was like "To bad KK is gone but this new guy, Ritchie Faulkner, what is he? The reincarnation of Randy Rhodes? This is a band I want to keep listening to. There is something here. They are not done yet". The rest is history - and history that is still being made. I really feel that the HOF made a mistake by not inducting Ritchie. Its his addition that provided Priest with the late career supercharging that helped get them into the HOF. BTW - I liked the positive spin on Ritchie and agree with it. The negative spin would be that KK saved the band by leaving. I would not agree with that. It would be like arguing that John Rutsey saved Rush by getting the boot. Not accurate in either case, nor positive. Much better and accurate to focus on the positive of Ritchie and Neil (and appreciate all that John and KK contributed) Edited March 17 by TheAccountant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good one as well, better really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) I've decided to give Priest a proper discography run. Will take me a while given the size but you gotta start somewhere. Rocka Rolla is better than I remember it being. It's not the Priest I know, but for 70s hard rock it's surprisingly solid, at least the first couple tracks and Diamonds and Rust.

Maybe you should create your own Priest albums like Pete Pardo and the heavy metal squares have done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judas Priest- Rocka Rolla Rush- Rush Saxon- Saxon Toto- Toto Bruce Springsteen- Greetings From Asbury Park N.J. Styx- Styx Kansas- Kansas I play these a lot more than many of their later classics. (The Styx debut is justifiably not a fave of many, but I love how all over the place it is) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
