"Angel" takes 15th place after a close battle.

Now it's down to which album avoids the final battle of the losers.

Redeemer of Souls again.

I'm gonna go with Redeemer Of Souls.

Same here..

I went Nostradamus this time.

Gonna have to go Redeemer this time out cuz I dont care for the other two albums at all.

Redeemer of Souls

Redeemer is a very good album. I was expecting it to rank higher.

But this is actually a proof of how amazing Priest's discography is.

Boooooooooooo!!!!!! Nostradamus damn it!!! I hate you all and I'm never coming back. Okay that was a lie, I only hate seven of you and I'm never coming back. Okay that was a lie, I only dislike seven of you and I'm never coming back until later. Okay that was a lie, I am on my slightly mad at seven of you and I'm gonna go watch tv and come back later. Or not, kinda tired and might just g o to bed. Mad at seven of you. Going to bed and isn't very good, so I won't be mad anymore, only slightly aggravated.

Ah screw it, but Nostradamus is better than the Redeemer of Souls album, and I don't care what y'all say! Better than AoR, Jugulator, and Especially Turbo. Turbo should have been second to last, and Nostradamus in its place. You know I'm right, just admit it and I'll stop.

Hey everyone!



I voted for Demolition.

" I am Nostradamus ! The Lightning Rod " - what a classic heavy metal lyric !

I think the final two polls might just be a formality.

I had to give Demolition some love. Nostradamus is a snooze-fest and I never liked Angel of Retribution either.

Machine Man is a badass song! It sounds like Annihilator.

that's a good one. And I don't think I've seen that video.

My favourite off of Demolition is Feed On Me:



Heavy, and catchy song as hell. Especially the verses. If all of Demolition was as amazing as Machine Men and Feed On Me, it'd be better than Jugulator for sure. But... Cyberface?! Metal Messiah? Some of the worst songs Priest ever recorded. And a lot of the other tracks on Demolition aren't much better.

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
16.Demolition

Redeemer of Souls for the win on this one.

Not for me. Even if Priest had only released, say, the bottom five or six albums in this poll I would still consider them a great band. Maybe not "legendary," but I still think it's worth comparing these albums at the bottom of the list.

Here's one of their meanest heaviest songs:

Can't do it. Will go with whatever the majority says on this one.

Lari you should be able to wrap this one up early.

Indeed. What I meant was that I think we know the final order already.

Yeah, this one I think has been over since day 1.
