- Judas Rising. Johannes Eckerström, Avatar: “There are very few bands who have made it to the top of the mountain. A few of those have been able to cling on to their spot, and even fewer than that have done the impossible and made a triumphant return.
- Rapid Fire. Jonathan Selzer, Reviews Editor: “If Rob Halford’s Harley Davidson ever did make it out onto Route 66, Rapid Fire would be the ultimate soundtrack.
- Never The Heroes. Adam Beard, Fan: “The first time I heard it, it got my adrenaline running. Then I wanted to learn the riff, so I went on YouTube and found a cover by a guy called Julio Blackening, who was so into the song that it made me love it even more.
- Hell Bent For Leather. Vanessa Thorpe, Production Editor: “Yes, it’s commercial, and yes, it’s from a contentious album, but dammit I still lose my shit every time they play it live and the Metal God comes onstage revving his Harley.

Following the lead of Deep Purple’s 1971 song “Fireball”, which at the time featured some of the fastest kick beats heavy metal had heard, “Exciter” cranks up the intensity a hundredfold. Propelled by a throttling double-time beat by drummer Les Binks, double kicks in overdrive brought unprecedented speed, intensity, and dexterity to the genre. The...
A bit of an oddity on an album specifically designed for mainstream success, the churning, martial “Metal Gods” was also one of Priest’s heaviest songs to date. Atop a simple yet wonderfully rigid rhythm section by Ian Hill and Dave Holland, shuffling hi-hat giving it just the slightest sense of groove, the chorus features an effective call-and-res...
The most overtly commercial song on the breakthrough British Steel, “Living After Midnight” still sticks in the craws of some fuddy-duddy metal old-timers, but as trite as this little party anthem is, its hook is irresistible and glorious, the sound of a band learning that it never hurts to have a little fun once in a while. Backed superbly by Holl...
Technically, it’s not doing anything different than what “Exciter” did six years earlier, but what “Freewheel Burnin'” has over that seminal track is mystique. Tom Allom’s production is incredibly dense, lending an already heavy song an added layer of darkness. The guitar tone is tar thick, yet sleek, Holland’s robotic drumming — a far cry from the...
The most overtly theatrical track on the groundbreaking Sad Wings of Destiny, it’s no secret Rob Halford wanted to emulate Queen’s A Night at the Opera, which was made at Rockfield Studios in Wales right before Judas Priest went there to record its second album. And indeed, starting with that blood-curdling, fader-fiddling intro the musical depicti...

- 'You've Got Another Thing Coming' From: 'Screaming for Vengeance' (1982) Probably their most beloved song, its power hasn't diminished one bit. In many ways, "You've Got Another Thing Coming" is everything about Judas Priest's appeal boiled down into one song.
- 'Living After Midnight' From: 'British Steel' (1980) "Living After Midnight" is a must for the Top 10 Judas Priest Songs. It was their first big breakthrough in America, and helped push the British Steel album over the top.
- 'Breaking the Law' From: 'British Steel' (1980) With a riff that is almost like "Smoke on the Water" on speed, "Breaking the Law" is one of Judas Priest's most iconic songs.
- 'Delivering the Goods' From: 'Hell Bent for Leather' (1978) If there was ever a true lost classic from Judas Priest, this would have to be it. One of the best album openers ever, "Delivering the Goods" kicks off their masterpiece Hell Bent for Leather with a perfect call to arms.
