Most underated Judas Priest Disc

Turbo!!

lol...reminds me of a couple years back in 12th grade biology where we had one of those teachers where you could walk all over and he wouldn't give 2 shats...

anywho, bored as fack so usually with that I tend to goof off, saying cheesy 80's metal quotes ala Spinal Tap...buddy of mine across the classroom picked up on it one day after I was retartedly saying 'I'M YOUR TURBO LOVERRRRR' again and again to this ugly cow lady next to me...

so after that we both got into a 'chant' with him sayin 'I'M' and then I do 'YOUR'....you know how she goes...

anyways the girl gets all pissy with a few months left in school and complains to the teach, which by now all the stoners in the class chanting in a 'gay' growl 'I'M YOUR TURBO LOVERRRRR' while baked to the 9's...

next day the teach wants to know what 'Turbo Lover' means as the fat cow lady is steamy mad...and, bah gawd, it turns into a whole discussion about Judas Priest and how the teach went and saw them in '85 or whatever...lol even the sluts got into the convo by sayin they thought it was a 'rap song' or whatever...

It was georgeous.

Where is Ram it Down?

I was wondering the same thing... cuz that would've been my pick. That album is totally underrated. It's like the "forgotten" Priest album!!

Of the choices provided, I went with "Point of Entry" ... always loved that album. I got into Priest thanks to the videos for "Heading Out To The Highway" and "Hot Rockin'" airing often during the early days of MTV.

The video for Hot Rockin...wow, is all I can say. With the scenes of the band in the shower, I hope no one dropped the soap!

listened to Rocka Rolla again tonight.... damn fine album. Cheater is truly one of their greatest songs!

Rocka Rolla is an EXCELLENT album, and an album I really like.

I also enjoy "Demolition" quite a lot - Not a masterpiece, but very enjoyable.

Jugulator is also very good, and while I can see why mostly eveyone would choose Jugulator instead of Demolition, I heard the latter long before Jugulator, so it means something more to me.

JUGULATOR rules! 9.5/10

My fave Priest disc is Ram It Down! 10/10

I voted for Defenders - it's underrated because it was released after Screamin' (the one that out Priest in US Arenas) and before Turbo (the one that made all the long time fans go what the hell?) - it's stuck between good press and bad press.

I went with Defenders for this same reason, it is one of the best albums of the 80's and seems to have been forgotten.

I voted for Point Of Entry, I've always loved that album but it has the unfortunate fate of being stuck between two classics, so it gets ignored.

I went with Jugulator.

It gets dismissed because it's not Halford, but there are some good tracks on there. It would be nice to see them resurrect a track or 2 from there in their live set. I bet the fans would dig it.

Halford has stated many times he is open to the idea, so who knows maybe they will throw in a track or two next time they tour.

Bullet Train and Cathedral Spires are both excellent tracks. Would love to hear them perform these two songs with Halford.

I've listened to ROCKA ROLLA several times in the past week too. It is indeed a great record, especially "Cheater!"

I don't know why fan favourites such as Sad Wings, Stained Class or Defenders of the Faith are even listed here.

The only underrated albums there are Rocka Rolla (some fans completely ignore it because it isn't as metal as Sad Wings), the more commercial sounding Point of Entry and Turbo, and the Ripper era discs (just because there's no Halford). My favourite out of those five is Jugulator, so I'll pick that as the most underrated.

Either Rocka Rolla or Point of Entry. Both are classics if you ask me.

Right on! CATHEDRAL SPIRES is an amazing tune!

The under-rated definition to me in regards to Priest records goes to Rocka Rolla.

I voted for "Stained Class", because I really never listened to anything prior to that of "Hell Bent for Leather" up until two years ago. I remember my friends way back in the day telling me how good this album was, but I guess the teenager in me wasn't ready to embrace that sound over what Priest was putting out in the 80's. I think 70's Priest was an acquired taste, and the appreciation that I now have for it wasn't going to happen until I became more open minded. "Stained Class" might go down as that #1 album that I chose to ignore for years on end. It's just brilliant!!!!

This is easy, 'Sin after Sin'. Just as good as 'Stained Class', which I regularly see very highly lauded. 'Ram it Down' is underrated too, if for no other reason than the title track is one of the best Priest songs ever. I like it easily as much as 'Painkiller'.

'Defenders' is in the top 2 Priest albums. I would take that and 'Sad Wings' or 'Sin after Sin' for that list.

'Turbo' is only underrated in that it still hasn't had enough fecal matter tossed on it yet.

I could vote for any of these except for Turdo. Went with Stained Class but Jugulator would be a close secone.

Point of Entry is totally underated with great song like - Heading out to the highway, Hot Rockin, Desert Plains, Solar Angels and Turning Circles. Yeah it was a change of pace from British Steel but it has a great vibe and really catchy melodic qualities.

I'm with you...Great record...

Same Here!!!

The only JP albums that are underrated are Rocka Rolla and the ripper era albums.

I went with Jugulator, I think if people could set aside that Ripper is on that album that they could see that album for what it is ....Kick @ss.
If Ram it Down was on the list I would have voted for it though, Ram it Down gets trashed a lot, almost as much as the Ripper albums.

Jugulator. I thought it was a mighty fine album and was surprised to see folks hate it. Tere are some really great songs on that album.
