1. Defenders of the Faith (1984) 24% of the vote 2. Painkiller (1990) 30% of the vote 3. Screaming for Vengeance (1982) 29% of the vote 4. Stained Class (1978) 40% of the vote 5. British Steel (1980) 50% of the vote 6. Sad Wings of Destiny (1976) 67% of the vote 7. Sin After Sin (1977) 40% of the vote 8. Killing Machine / Hell Bent for Leather (1979) 35% of the vote
A classic record. Les Binks is awesome. The drum sound here was ahead of its time.
But we aren't even half way done here, no sir! 10 more albums left to vote for. Pick the one you like the best.

I don’t know why anyone would not like Ram It Down...
Songs like: I’m A Rocker, Hard As Iron, Blood Red Skies and the title track are all great.

My Top 8 Priest albums:
1. Screaming For Vengeance 2. Stained Class 3. Defenders of the Faith 4. British Steel 5. Sad Wings of Destiny 6. Killing Machine 7. Sin After Sin 8. Point of Entry
Since Point of Entry is still there, I'll go with this underappreciated album!

It's really a great album. Never understood why it's so underrated in the metal music world.

I voted Firepower again. Jugulator is my second choice.
Point of Entry & Ram It Down are way down on my list. Probably below Nostradamus.

Here's how I'd rank the discography, the the moment:
Changes basically every time I listen to an album though. The last one I listened to was Killing Machine and I liked it better than I remembered.

Rocka Rolla - they played Never Satisfied when I saw them a couple of years ago and it was awesome! One of my favourites off this album along with One For The Road, the title track and Run of the Mill.
Honestly, choosing between this album, Ram it Down and Demolition is a near toss up for me, it all depends on my mood - Demolition probably wins over Ram it Down, due to nostalgia. Damn, I also really like Angel of Retribution - this is unfairly difficult.
I must say, I'm rather surprised British Steel ranks as high as it does - at least compared to what is beneath it. I personally never thought it was that fantastic an album, it pales in comparison to the likes of Screaming for Vengeance and Defenders of the Faith of their early 80s outputs and can't touch their 70s albums, in my opinion. Metal Gods is one hell of a live song though (especially with Ripper Owens behind the mic!). I find myself reaching for Point of Entry more, actually.
I do, however, think Screaming for Vengeance has quite a few weaker tracks comparably- Fever, Pain and Pleasure and (Take These) Chains are all rather disappointing.

I really feel Firepower is the best of those remaining. There are individual songs here and there that I like more than anything on their latest release, but I think the album as a whole is the most solid thing they've put out in a long time.

At this point voting in this poll can’t correct the way I see the order in my mind. Ram It Down is going to be literally rammed down to the bottom. Oh well... at least I tried. I’ll just sit back and let the cards fall where they may.
