What is your favorite Judas Priest song and why? Mine is Exciter because it has some crazy solos and fast guitar throughout.

Run of the Mill. It's got that hypnotic bass line, enjoyable soloing (even though it's a little on the prog side), and those melancholy lyrics. Those shrieks at the end are pretty much ownage too, just not that very last one. I hate hate hate when people pitch-shift vocals in the studio.

I havn't heard that song, which surprises me because I have tons of their music. I will definitely check it out as soon as I can. Good solos are the best.

Run Of The Mill was on the first album they released, Rocka Rolla.

My favorite Judas Priest song is Leather Rebel from the Painkiller album. Every time I hear it I can't help but sing along and it gets me so psyched up!

I'm surprised that no one mentioned Beyond The Realms of Drath. I prefer the live version, if you can get that. It was supposed to be on the Unleashed In The East album, but it was too long to fit onto one vinyl disk. However, there was a two-record set from Japan, & that did not have it either. Not including that song was probably one of the biggest disasters of that album.
Another close second would be Rock Hard Ride Free ... some of the solos are fast there too.

Its hard to say, for a Heavy Metal band, they are pretty versatile. I like You've Got Another thing Comin', Screaming for Vengeance, Breaking the Law and a number of other various epic songs. But I think at the moment the song(s) that really catch my hear so to speak it Hellion/Electric Eye, I love the guitar and lyrics, and of course Robs Vocals are realy good on it.

I can't choose JUST ONE song..... but I'll go with "A Touch of Evil". It's simply PHENOMENAL
PD: Favorite JP cover: "Diamonds and Rust" -from the Rocka Rolla album-

Nothing gets me more *excited* than PAINKILLER! That's a timeless classic. Rob Halford once said "Anger is a very honest emotion and when you can channel it into the music..." well I don't remember the rest of the sentence :) Some other favorites are Ram It Down, Touch of Evil, The Sentinel, The Electric Eye...All Judas Priest solos are crazy. Glen & K.K. rule!

I´ll say my favourite Judas Priest´s song is Painkiller. The Painkiller album has to be their best production. I also like The Sentinel, Electric Eye, Diamonds and Rust (cover). They all good.
