It's not worth it, just let him leave.

Hehe, god forbid you should ever have any children with the wrong taste in music.

My little brother hates me.

Ah, a Priest thread! Tough one. I'll probably go with:

Jawbreaker
Victim of Changes
and
Leather Rebel if in warrior mood/Blood Red Skies otherwise

Yeah, what the hell. Early Priest is the shit. They were DELIVERING THE GOODS.

Not to me. And Devoted Peanut, you really seem to have problem with me not liking earlier Priest as much as you do. I never said earlier Priest was bad. I said I found the albums I picked up to be inconsistent. And your asking me to "seriously" GTFO is not taken seriously. Stained Class isn't available around here. Have placed a request for it. Will see how soon it arrives.

Well you won't be disappointed with SC. The album is killer track to track.

People 'round these parts really need to chill out and grow thicker skin.

Sinner
Exciter
Tyrant for the 70s

Rapid Fire
Hot Rockin
Ridin on the wind
Locked In
Ram it Down for the 80s

Here's the thing.....Judas Priest did all of their innovating on Sad Wings, Sin After Sin, and Stained Class.....after that they just set themselves on cruise control and glided through the 80's. It wouldnt be until Painkiller that they'd have to prove themselves again.

The 70's material is far far superior to anything they did in the 80's. The material on those albums, along with the early Sabbath albums, were the exact recipe for heavy metal. Almost everything done now a days was done already by Judas Priest in the 70's. Once power and speed metal took off, JP sat by patiently until they would have to reassert themselves with Painkiller, which essentially was JP saying "Look children, this is how Daddy does it." So basically the 80's was just a period of cruising between assertions of heavy metal authority.

I like the way you think, but still... British Steel, Screaming For Vengeance and Defenders Of The Faith are great CD's. I don't know if they had to prove something during the mid-80's but these albums ARE proof of Heavy Metal mastery.

I agree with 2/3 of what you said. I don't find British Steel to be that great of an album, frankly I get bored quickly with it, however, Defenders and Screaming for Vengance are indeed excellently awesome.

In retrospect I don't think their 70's is better than their 80's material. The way I see it I think they are both equal as far as excellence.

You have their 70's best Sad Wings,Sin and Stained and you have their 80's best Screaming,Defenders and Painkiller all are par with each other IMHO.

Painkiller is 90s.

So that makes his argument even stronger.

Says the guy who hates me and called me a little shit just because I refered to your "I am Canadian" syndrome...

Yeah... so you need to grow thicker skin to.

Well, I guess we all need to.

Technically, Painkiller is 80s. Decade X starts with year X1 and ends with year (X+1)0. That's why the third millennium begins with 2001, not 2000, and 1990 belongs to the 80s.

I WAS BORN IN THE 80S?!?!

OMG
