"Bob" Halford with long hair wins 12th place.



Which remaining album wins 13th place?

Gonna go "Turbo"

Jugulator !

Redeemer of Souls.

Angel Of Retribution

Again I'm torn between Jugulator and Redeemer of Souls. I should really play them back to back.

Ripper is amazing on Jugulator. The album is HEAVY and there's hooks. Redeemer of Souls is a nice sounding CD (to me!) with plenty to discover and it's the last record to feature KK. It's a mammoth release and it's hard to rank anything left here ahead of it.

Voted Turbo. "Locked In" and "Out in the Cold" put this one above the remaining albums for me.

My Top 13

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
9. Redeemer of Souls
10.Firepower
11.Painkiller
12.Rocka Rolla
13.Ram It Down

Since Redeemer of Souls is still on the board, I will go with it again.

Gotta go Nostradamus on this round. Would probably go with Angle of Retribution if not for LochNess. I like that song, but it drags on way too long.

I almost went Turbo, but AoR was such a Monster of a comeback, man!!!

I went with Turbo in this round.

I’m a Nostradamus guy.
So many songs ! Like a biography that comes alive.
Listen to it all - on a July day/- when it’s raining. Magic.

It's one of my favourite Priest albums. When in the right mood.

Exactly. It's a turkey dinner. But, most times I just want a turkey sandwich.

You can just skip tracks. I go through albums I already know in 20-25 minutes because I don't always feel like listening to all the tracks.

But overall length is a good thing to have. Gives you options. And a large number obsongs to choose from.

Well said

Right now it looks like Turbo is winning. I'll continue with the next poll Monday if no new voters show up before that.

Turbo wins this round, but it was a close one.
