Thanks for your ranking!! "Ram It Down" is the first Judas Priest album I heard and I have a huge affection for it. I think it has some very good songs. There is a theory that says that the first album you hear from a band is the one you like the most. It's not the one I like the most, but it's always been in my top 5. "Turbo" is very commercial and Hard Rock, very deliberately aimed at the US public, but it's a very good album if you listen to it with impartial ears. But I see that we have quite similar tastes. Our podium is very similar, only the positions change 🍻
You're right about Ram It Down. It a POS! But Point of Entry is great. It's become my most go to JP. It just had the misfortune of being released between 2 monumental albums. The song You Say Yes is 💩 though. One of their worst.
@@Gregbaltzer I will always love "Ram It Down" and I can't change that 😅 "Hard as Iron", "Ram It Down" and "Blood Red Skies" are amazing songs that made me love that album. And "Point of Entry" is an album that I like more and more. It has little gems.
Very good ranking! Here's mine (with averages for each albums): 01. British Steel (10/10) 02. Painkiller (10/10) 03. Screaming For Vengeance (9,5/10) 04. Defenders Of The Faith (9,5/10) 05. Killing Machine / Hell Bent For Leather (9,5/10) 06. Firepower (9,3/10) 07. Invincible Shield (9,1/10) 08. Sin After Sin (8,8/10) 09. Turbo (7,8/10) 10. Stained Class (7,8/10) 11. Point Of Entry (7/10) 12. Ram It Down (7/10) 13. Redeemer Of Souls (6,9/10) 14. Sad Wings Of Destiny (6,7/10) 15. Angel Of Retribution (6/10) 16. Rock Rolla (5,7/10) 17. Jugulator (5/10) 18. Demolition (4,6/10) 19. Nostradamus (3,5/10)
"Painkiller" is a tremendous masterpiece. It has the same value as "Defenders of the Faith", but this album is older, so I usually put the older album first in case of a tie. Thanks for your comment 🍻
To start, I totally agree with the top 3. I think British Steel is their most overrated album by far. It has some of the more recognizable songs, to be sure, but they're overplayed and not really all that "metal" compared to stuff they released both before and after. I'm looking at you, Living After Midnight. The songwriting in it, and the preceding Killing Machine, was stripped down to earn them some cash since Stained Class was apparently too dark to break the mainstream and the band was still starving. Priest, while still (Probably? My avatar says otherwise) my favorite band, has been through as many ups and downs as any.
It's a great album. I bought the CD 2 weeks ago and it's a very worthy work for a legend like Judas Priest. I hope it is not JP's last work, but with "Invincible Shield" they have won Valhalla 🤘
Im warming up to Redeemer. Point of Entry is a favourire of mine. I listen to it a lot now because i didnt own it as a kid so it never got over played. Ram it Down is 💩 . It has 2 good songs and thats it. Turbo is better but is still too glam for my taste. Rocka Rolla is a nice album to put on and just mellow out to.
The bad thing about "Redeemer of Souls" is the production, it never convinced me, but it's an interesting album. "Ram It Down" is God and you are a heretic!! To the lions!! Sorry for the joke 😂🤣🙃 Thanks for your comments 🤘
"British Steel" is a great album, but it has a lot of competition from "Painkiller", "Defenders of the Faith", "Screaming for Vengeance"... It's just a matter of preference. Thanks for your opinion 🍻
"Turbo" is more Hard Rock than the albums you mentioned, but it's a very good album and very underrated. "Turbo" has the same rating as "Invincible Shield", just 1 point above "Stained Class" and 2 points above "Firepower". It's just personal preferences, nothing more 🍻
I love "Ram It Down", it's the first Judas Priest album I heard and that leaves a mark. It has great songs, although the drums are a terrible drum machine... "Demolition" is worse than a crucifixion and "Jugulator" is interesting, but far from "Ram It Down". It's just my personal opinion. Thanks for your comment!! 🤘
I disagree about Nostradamus is not a good album. Songs are strong and melodic...and was the last album that Halford's voice was in good form. Painkiller and Defenders of the Faith top!!
"Painkiller" and "Defenders of the Faith" are the ones who rule! I respect your opinion, it's all a matter of personal taste. Thanks for your comment 🤘

@@JuanmaEternal I don`t understand the hate towards Ram it Down. Ok, the programmed drumming is weird but the musicianship by the rest of the band is over the top.

Yeah this list bogus, u have have Sin after Sin and Stained Class way up top,they should be top 5, along with SWofD, British Steel, HBforL,l can't believe that u put Turbo ranked better
@@JuanmaEternal I'm old school, so I'm gonna go with SWofD, Stained Class, British Steel,Hell Bent for Leather,Sin after Sin, Screaming for Vengeance,Rocka Rolla and Defenders of the Faith, not too familiar with the rest, sorry
@@JuanmaEternal If this is a personal list, this should be provided in the title. But nobody will click that. Also: you could at least put some effort in providing JP music in background.

I'd actually bump Painkiller below Screaming and Defenders, but to be fair, those were the two albums where I really discovered them.
@@tomkelly4496 Three great albums, always difficult to rank them correctly... 👍

I love Invincible Shield.

I wouldn't rank Redeemer of Souls that low. I'd listen to it before Turbo and Ram It Down. Just my opinion...
Thanks for your opinion 🍻
British steel should be at least top 3
"British Steel" is a great album, but it has a lot of competition from "Painkiller", "Defenders of the Faith", "Screaming for Vengeance"...
It's just a matter of preference. Thanks for your opinion 🍻
Turbo at 6, above Invincible shield, Stained Class, Firepower... sure
"Turbo" is more Hard Rock than the albums you mentioned, but it's a very good album and very underrated.
"Turbo" has the same rating as "Invincible Shield", just 1 point above "Stained Class" and 2 points above "Firepower".

Demolition & Jugulator > Ram It Down
