My two favorites.

I simply had to wear my Europe shirt CamRock! 😉

War of Kings is an album worth checking out!

@@TranquilityFireReid I think I need one now! I’ve actually been listening to that album on repeat this past week, so the timing couldn’t be better good sir ! I Always love you commentary 👍🏻

@@camrock3534 Thanks again!

Europe are a brilliant band,getting better with age.

Thanks Jason, that's good to hear! 👍

It was my first LP I bought by the band in 1981😎🤘

@@zachary1966 Same here what a year, good times.

The first album I thought of when ‘Wildcard’ was mentioned. I’ve always loved that album.

Agreed, too many classic gems on PoE to dislike that album. The heavy songs on BS may in nature have been heavier than anything present on PoE, but BS also had its fair share of softer melodic tracks (chiefly its three singles).

Solar Angels is a very important thing....it definitely sowed the seed for Cowboys from Hell

Thanks Jonathan!

Now, I'm going to get my own t-shirt printed with that on the front!

Thanks Dante!

Thanks Michael!

Thanks Jeffrey!

Thank you Simon, and it's been a week, or two, but I'm still digging Massive Wagons. Thanks again.

Thanks Drew. There certainly will be!

Thanks Gary! So many great albums in this catalogue - and a few that are not quite so great!

Simon is the master of the understated one liner! Loved that one!

We are people of good taste! 😉

Dxd

Thanks John!

😂😂😂😂😂

The four horsemen tracks of that album, yes.

Thanks Joseph. Great to see such a variety of Priest albums getting some love. We really enjoyed this format too so hopefully much more to come like this.

I like that idea! Thanks for watching.

I think we could Purp it up.

Thanks Bjørnar!

Thanks Eric!

Thanks for the suggestions Russell!

I'll be intrigued to read what they are 👍

Thanks Stephen. Great to know you like this format. Trooper is a fine ale!

@@TranquilityFireReid I like the idea of the wildcard album, an opportunity to highlight a maybe overlooked but good album, yes Trooper is fine, quite liked the Sun and Steel beer too.

@@stephennorris2524 I haven't tasted Sun and Steel yet. I'll need to get that sorted!

@@TranquilityFireReid You will, it's refreshing, as far as the topic goes my favourite 2 are British Steel & Killing Machine ( the albums that Introduced me to JP, least faves Nostradamus and Rocka Rolla can't comment on the Ripper ones as haven't heard them, w/c Sin after Sin, could definitely see this format work for other bands like Maiden/Saxon/UFO for example, btw have you heard the new FM album?

@@stephennorris2524 Excellent choices Stephen. Crikey. No I haven't heard the new FM. I'll need to fix that pronto! Thanks for the reminder.

Defenders of the Faith is an excellent album, start to finish. Not a weak track in the lot. It was less commercial than Screaming, and a whole lot more cohesive. The Sentinel is a highlight.

To be totally honest and fair, I find DotF overall a lot more commercial than SfV, which was already quite commercial in itself. Compared to say Stained Class, their '80s output was all extremely commercial. We tend to gloss over sometimes, that metal can be that but Priest by this point had long been a commercial sounding metal band, way more than say Maiden or Motorhead (who wasn't even a metal band to begin with). "The Sentinel" along with "Freewheel Burning" are (like "Screaming for Vengeance") all top notch classic metal songs, most everything else though (along with a rather dire production) really is bordering on 'poppy' in actuality. I think they're basically (dare I say) melodic pop songs given a heavied up sound, i.e. they were definitely trying to get on the radio and MTV still with this album. There's nothing wrong with that of course it's how the times were, only stating a few musical structural statistics.

@@TheTVisions There's a lot of truth in what you've said TTV. And that's probably one of the reasons why I like them so much. Thanks for the support Knight Vision!

Yeah, Jugulator ranks so low in my estimations because the lyrics are beyond pathetic. It is a MUCH better album than Demolition though.

Thanks Chris!

I knew it would be an unpopular choice with some David. As I mentioned, I don't hate Rocka Rolla, I just don't connect with it. I do understand why others do though.

@@TranquilityFireReid Thank you Steven I commented because I respect your opinion and love what you guys do.

@@davideckert2889 Thanks David. Very much appreciated! I think that one of my favourite things about this episode is not just how varied the selections were between the three of us, but also in the comments. Reading everyone's thoughts has been great fun! It really goes to show how strong Judas Priest have been throughout their career.
