Frequently ranked as one of the greatest metal bands of all time, Judas Priest had an innovative and pioneering body of work in the latter half of the 1970s. But they had struggled with indifferent record production and a lack of major commercial success until 1980, when they rose to commercial success with the album British Steel. There's been a few line up changes through the years, but Rob Halford's operatic vocal style and the twin guitar sound of K. K. Downing and Glenn Tipton have been a major influence on heavy metal bands. Judas Priest's image of leather, spikes, and other taboo articles of clothing were widely influential during the glam metal era of the 1980s. One of our favorites, from their second studio album, Sad Wings of Destiny, is today’s pick!
