I agree with angel of disease

The subject matter is actually brilliantly sad and well written all around.

Victim of Changes was a masterpiece and the lyrics was so well thought of that it became a huge success and is still to this day I think, is the most looked at.

United (from British Steel) is too slow/fast/cheesy for appearing in this poll?

That is certainly the chessiest song they ever wrote. Your average football anthem is less cheesy.

Sad Wings of Destiny is the finest album ever recorded (IMHO).

'Victim of Changes' builds/maintains the kind of tension that you don't normally find in mid-pacer. They might have got a little pan crazy during the ethereal part; but, I even like that part too. The crescendo with Halford's display of vocal supremacy and the guitar solo = awesome.

Voted A Touch of Evil, really good song. I really like Night Comes Down too which wasn't in the list.

I was torn between "Victim of Changes" and "Beyond the Realms of Death" but opted for "Victim" It's just such a complete song. Atmosphere, lyrics, amazing performance from the Glen and KK, not to mention one of Rob's best vocals.

I go with Touch of Evil. great solo, great vocal. Judas Priest's Pain killer is one of the best metal albums ever made.

A Touch of Evil it has got to be for me. Although Angel was very good too.

"Beyond the Realms of Death." That is such an amazing, emotional song. I love them all, but yeah, that's my favorite.

This is choosing between my favourite Priest songs... but ultimately I pick "Dreamer Deceiver" over "Beyond the Realms of Death".

Beyond the Realms of Death. Heard it live last summer and Rob's voice is still godlike.

Fire Burns Below is - in my opinion - one of their very best songs, definitely my favorite slow piece of Judas Priest.

Dreamer Deceiver, there is no topping that vocal performance.

Dreamer/Deciever, although it was hard not voting for Victim of Changes. Recently I have grown to appreciate Before the Dawn.

I don't get how Beyond The Realms Of Death has 18 more votes than Victim Of Changes, personally.

"Beyond The Realms Of Death" for me, I love the emotion in Halford's vocals, and it has very clever, and well written lyrics, with a brillient main riff, then finishing with one of the greatest guitar solo's ever

Damn, so many great choices. My favorites: Beyond the Realms of Death, Dreamer/Deceiver, A Touch of Evil, Victim of Changes, Angel.
Also, Night Comes Down is fantastic and Fever has some slower parts, and you could say Nightcrawler is more mid-paced - I love its haunting atmosphere

"Night Crawler" Is a very good choice, if it counts, I thought about that myself because it's one of my favourite Judas Priest songs, and those lyrics, which I think was inspired by an American serial killer, Ted Bundy or Richard Ramirez?
