Judas Priest discography ranked
My #1 British metal band of all time, checkered history and all. First started listening to them when Defenders was the newest album. |
1 | | Judas Priest Painkiller
Just pure metal magic. |
2 | | Judas Priest Sad Wings of Destiny
A pivotal album in metal history. |
3 | | Judas Priest Screaming for Vengeance
Once upon a time, this was what radio-friendly metal sounded like. Unbelievable. |
4 | | Judas Priest British Steel
Non-stop hits. |
5 | | Judas Priest Stained Class |
6 | | Judas Priest Sin After Sin |
7 | | Judas Priest Defenders of the Faith |
8 | | Judas Priest Angel of Retribution
Stronger than almost all of Iron Maiden's post-reunion output. |
9 | | Judas Priest Killing Machine
Sounds to me more like a collection of (mostly good) songs they had written at the time than a proper album. |
10 | | Judas Priest Point of Entry
If it weren't for bangers Heading Out to the Highway, Desert Plains, and Solar Angels, this album would be ranked much lower. |
11 | | Judas Priest Turbo
Rightly maligned as their attempt at mainstream party rock, I still think it's a pretty good mainstream party rock record. |
12 | | Judas Priest Rocka Rolla
An unfocused debut, but there are some incredible tracks also (Never Satisfied, and Run of the Mill). |
13 | | Judas Priest Redeemer of Souls
Not terrible, just not very memorable. |
14 | | Judas Priest Jugulator
A couple of good cuts scattered about (the title track and Cathedral Spires immediately come to mind). |
15 | | Judas Priest Ram It Down
Far too many duds drag this record down. |
16 | | Judas Priest Demolition
Awful, but slightly better than Nostradamus as it actually has a song or two that I can listen to. |
17 | | Judas Priest Nostradamus
Boring, boring, boring. |
