long live these gods of metal welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 Judas
Priest sauce
for this list we’ve chosen our entries
based on a combination of the artists
fan favorites and their most
commercially successful songs
number ten beyond the realms of death
early drummer les Binks most significant
contribution to the band’s catalog this
drum heavy song also features standout
guitar solos and singer Rob Halford
haunting lyrics
while beyond the realms of death and
others from 1978 stained class became
the unfortunate target in a 1990 trial
that claimed subliminal musical messages
keep status as one of priests most
melodic and multi-layered songs has
indoor
number nine turbo lover one of the
band’s more straightforward hits this
song is about two things love and speed
the tune was accompanied by this
psychedelic music video complete with a
stop-motion skeleton and of course lots
and lots of bikes
the song is also a fantastic racing
video game song as proven by its
appearance in Gran Turismo 3
which helped the track earn even more
new fans 15 years after its release
number eight hell-bent for leather
1978 was a banner year for priests
having already released the highly
influential stained glass earlier in the
year
this album known as hell-bent for
leather in the States defined the band’s
iconic leather studded image for decades
to come
and it was this feverish number that led
the charge
adopting a phrase deep from the annals
of badassery for biker paraphernalia the
band henceforth appeared primarily
dressed in leather in concerts often
with Halford riding a Harley on stage
number seven victim of changes
one of the most fascinating songs in the
priests catalog the first song from the
band’s great sophomore effort is
actually a mixture of two songs
one by Halford and one by briefly
serving original singer al Atkins
the song also features multiple
slowdowns and buildups solos by
guitarists Glenn Tipton and KK downing
and is punctuated by one of Halfords
trademark screens
number six The Sentinel
one of the many larger-than-life
characters in the Judas Priest catalog
The Sentinel is a lone soldier fighting
for revenge in a nightmarish possibly
post-apocalyptic wasteland
arriving via the platinum recording
defenders of the faith at the height of
the band’s popularity this song is noted
for its relentless pacing and another of
Halfords trademark screams
all fear the sentinel indeed
number five living after midnight
one of the priests songs with the most
mainstream appeal this song from the
seminal British steel album is about
well exactly what the title suggests
partying
in a lot
it features a classic rock and roll drum
groove made all the more awesome by this
air drumming video
as well as one of guitarist Glenn
Tipton’s best solos accompanied by a
crowd of air guitarists
seong doesn’t contain the best advice
for the kids out there but it’s
catchiness made it a radio hit in the UK
tell the
I’m gone
number four the Hellion electric eye
found on 1982 screaming for vengeance
the three and a half minute electric eye
is preceded by an epic instrumental
intro titled the Hellion
together the two tracks combined to form
one of the Bands most beloved songs and
the one that most frequently opens their
live shows
and if you were lucky enough to see the
band at the height of its fame you got
to see this
number three you’ve got another thing
coming
this is probably the song you’re most
likely to hear on classic rock radio
and for a band known for darker subject
matter it’s also one of their most
uplifting
their only song to chart on both the
British and the American charts you’ve
got another thing coming propelled the
band to newfound heights of mainstream
success and has been included in a
number of multimedia formats
number two breaking the law
wasting out of work
from the opening duel guitar riff to the
broken glass and siren after the last
verse this one is pure priest
bringing along though it may at first
seem like just an homage to criminal
activity the song is actually a critique
of the circumstances that cause someone
to well you know break the lock
it was also accompanied by one of the
most badass music videos of all time in
which the band holds up a London Bank
using just their guitars in order to
steal a gold copy of their record
British steel
before we reveal our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
you
thank you
Oh
number one painkiller
heavier than anything the band had done
before
this six minute number served as an epic
send-off for Halford who subsequently
left the band following their 12th
record supporting tour
after two less than successful albums to
finish out the 80s painkiller with its
speed metal title track
re-establish the band members as the
metal gods they are and not only for the
truest priests been
painkiller was also recognized by the
Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences
with a Grammy nod for best metal
performance
