Favorite Priest zEra

Pretty simple concept...
70's, 80's 90's, 2000 onward

80s for sure. That was a rock solid string of releases throughout, Turbo being the slight hiccup.

My top 3 favourites are all from different decades.

Tough call. I like albums from each era.

70s for me. It was when they were at the creative peak. The 80s were great as well.

I thought “ Defenders of the Faith “ was a top notch follow up to the amazing “ Screaming for Vengeance “.
The song “ Love Bites “ was a knock out. “ Freewheel Burning “.
British Steel. Point of Entry. Ram It Down. They were really a great band.
Of course, never knew about Halford’s sexual preference lol till the 90s.

Are there any bands who started in the 70s and released their best albums in the 90s?

70s for me. Not even close. Rocka Rolla, Sad Wings, Sin After Sin, Stained Class, Hell Bent For Leather...game over in my book. As I said, not even close.

Maybe Saxon?
It is debatable?

70's for me

That's the way I feel.

Where is E, all of the above? Guess I'd have to go with the 70's, but that's very hard decision to make.

Can I cheat and say 80's THROUGH 90's? The string of releases leading up to Painkiller was almost nearly all solid gold.

That's the best way to describe it .

70's, no contest. Those first 5 albums are heavy metal at it's finest. Lyrically they were far superior as well.

Pretty much how I feel. Went with the 80s though as Screaming is my favorite.

80's just barely over 70's. I grew up on the 80's stuff, so the nostalgia factor wins. Favorite album though, "Stained Class".
