Every Judas Priest Album Ranked

Today on Tastes Like Music: the entire ranking of the Judas Priest discography from worst to best.

With 18 albums spanning nearly 50 years, Priest were one of the progenitors of metal and its many various offshoots and are more than worthy to be named the Metal Gods.

Jason, Joe and Kramzer go deep and long with this one. Hope you’re ready for over 1:43 minutes of metal fury. Joe, the metal lover, will obviously be revenant, but how will Jason and Kramzer deal with 18 albums of varying degrees of metalness? There’s only one way to find out…

If you’re interested in seeing other opinions on the matter, you can check out Louder Sound’s ranking, as well as Ultimate Classic Rock for a more “conventional” view of the Judas Priest discography.
