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

14. Jugulator (1997) 56% of the vote



The biggest margin of victory since Sad Wings.

Now, once again, let's pick the best of the rest.

Kinda getting down to the dregs here aren't we?

I guess I'll go Angel of Retribution this time out. I don't care for Nostradamus or Demolition at all, and Redeemer was forgettable (at best).

I’ll go with Reemer of Souls this time.

What TZ said .

This was probably the easiest choice so far because I like Redeemer of Souls so much better than the others.

Well it was Halford’s original title, but the band voted him down.

Well played, well played.

Angel of Retribution...I'm ranking it over Redeemer of Souls just slightly because of the aura that surrounds it, marking Halford's return.

My Top 15

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
14.Turbo
15.Jugulator

I will go with Redeemer of Souls again...

Reemer of Souls dammit!

Angel Of Retribution

I'm surprised that both AoR and RoS are placing so low overall in these polls. I thought both albums were strong and still get frequent spins from me. Which is more than I can say for that snooze-fest Nostradamus. And the less said about Demolition, the better.

voted Angel, just find it a bit better than Redeemer

Yeah, I have both ahead of Rocka Rolla, Point of Entry, Turbo, Ram It Down. Redeemer is higher, probably ahead of Sin After Sin and Killing Machine, too. I really like that one.

We need a tie breaker!

I'm hoping for one more voter. We've had more than 16 before, for sure.

To break the tie, I went with Angel of Retribution - really like that album. My personal pick would be Demolition, though.

Thank you, and dammit.

Next round coming up soon.
