Judas Priest: Your Favourite Songs


Segue Myles
 Share

Recommended Posts

I am currently on a chronological revisit of one of my favourite bands of the last couple of years, and by now, of all time.

 

With every revisit, more songs jump out at me as being magnificent. Now I thought it could be fun to open discussion about Judas Priest and their songs, as we often love to debate about albums and rankings and polls.

 

But what are your favourite songs?

 

Of the early albums, my favourite songs are:

 

Rock A Rolla

Cheater

Victim Of Changes

Deceiver

Diamonds And Rust

Last Rose Of Summer (omg I bloody worship this song)

Exciter

Better By You, Better Than Me

Beyond The Realms Of Death

 

And you know what song really, truly stands out to me?

 

The Stained Class bonus track Fire Burns Below. Bloody love that one!

 

Of course I love plenty more, this list only covers the first four albums!

 

And you?

My man! Fire Burns Below is really underrated.

 

I love it! Such an underrated gem! In fact, my box set of all their studio and live albums up to Live Evil has loads of bonus tracks, and I think I've enjoyed them all!

Here Come the Tears is a really great track. Sin After Sin has a lot of phenomenal songs.

 

Sin After Sin, Stained Class and Killing Machine are beyond amazing to me. Huge fan of them all! I know many rate Sad Wings right at the top, but it trails behind them for me (and I think it's in the same league, definitely).

Priest's bonus tracks are often great enough to have made the original album, Fire Burns Below is an excellent example of that! I also love the bonus track at the end of Painkiller.

 

Some of my favorites, in not much of an order:

 

Beyond The Realms Of Death

The Hellion/Electric Eye

You Don't Have To Be Old To Be Wise

Victim Of Changes

The Ripper

Exciter

White Heat, Red Hot

Bloodstone

Devil's Child

Grinder

Diamonds And Rust

Dreamer/Deciever

Firepower

Flamethrower

 

oh so many more....my favorite metal band for sure

You know, even Turbo and Ram It Down have great songs. I mean at this point, I think it's fair to say I think Priest have a greater discography than Maiden. I would take modern Priest over Maiden, and the two worst Priest albums, with Owens, are without any shadow of a doubt superior to the Bailey Maiden albums.

 

As for great songs, honestly it's an embarrassment of riches! I realise now one of the reasons Priest took so long to grow on me is because their albums, practically all of them up to Painkiller, are so full of amazing tunes, I couldn't immediately focus on any one album.

 

Doing my chronological marathon, more than any other classic rock or metal band, it's just endlessly brilliant.

 

Also buddy, Queen have clicked. I had an amazing time with Night At The Opera today

This is all sweet music to my ears! I'm so happy you're clicking with Queen! :)

 

I must confess I haven't given my ears the treat of hearing a new Priest album in a while, I've only heard these ones:

 

Rocka Rolla (like once or twice)

Sad Wings Of Destiny

Sin After Sin (years ago at this point)

Stained Class

Killing Machine

British Steel

Screaming For Vengeance

Defenders Of The Faith (only a few times)

Painkiller

Firepower

 

I must get back to them!

Lol that's almost my top ten! Swap out Rock A Rolla for Point Of Entry. I love that album.

 

Turbo and Ram It Down are not my favourites. In fact, everything outside what we've listed is hit and miss for me.

I will, and can name my favorite Judas Priest songs. They haven't changed. Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden are still similar, and I think they have been consistent. I've liked both bands, and groups a lot. I haven't had a favorite Judas Priest c.d., and album. With Rob Halford as the lead singer, and without, and not including any songs Tim "Ripper" Owens was the lead singer on only two releases, in chronological order, and one song each from their sixteen studio releases, here have been mine.

 

Run of the Mill

Victim of Changes, and or Island of Domination

Let Us Prey/Call For the Priest

Beyond the Realms of Death

Evil Fantasies

Don't Have to Be Old to Be Wise

Desert Plains, and or Solar Angels

Fever

Night Comes Down

Out In the Cold

Blood Red Skies

Battle Hymn/One Shot At Glory

Worth Fighting For

Future of Mankind

Secrets of the Dead

Sea of Red
