OK – I’ll keep using the “personal taste” phrase – were never going to agree on everything – not even US
I’ve tried to be brutally honest with my thumbs up / thumbs down on their studio albums – all 16 of which I have listed below. The album gets a thumbs up (green) if I felt there were at least 4 AWESOME tracks on the album – and I think most of those so coloured are 90%+ perfection.
Again – it will be down to personal taste, so I know some of you will disagree. In fact, given that Anthony & Trev seem to appreciate the “speed/thrash” aspects of the whole genre more than myself, I would not be surprised if you both liked the 1988/1990 albums more than I. Anthony has already said that he feels Painkiller is one of their best albums – I thought it was a complete waste of time and money. I tried playing it again this-morning – does nothing for me (sorry!
) I’m also curious what you think of “Jugulator”. I think it’s their worst studio album ever – WAY too “speed/thrash” for me. Love the vocals by Tim Owens (who totally sounds like Halford in much of the album), but I just can’t listen to that music. I’m also struggling with “Nostradamus” – but for different reasons.
Also - I’m not repeating this to try to “convert” you but because I think you are missing out on some AWESOME Priest tracks – PLEASE listen to the links on the previous page (that means all the way through, end to end, more than once!
) I really don’t see what’s not to like if you appreciate classic Priest. If you do this and still don’t like them – I will admit a crushing defeat at the hands of my peers, if you decide they are good - you owe me a beer (heck - owe me a beer anyways - I never turn down alcohol from friends 
)Anyways – here’s the “Spike likes these” list – wouldn't mind hearing other peoples thoughts and preferences.
