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. |
