Stained Class vs Painkiller albums

[PieceofMind89]

Stained Class for me.

 

[Collin]

Demolition is my favorite album but I also like Ram it Down. I'm gonna vote for Nostradamus.

 

[KidInTheDark666]

Painkiller is an all-time top 10 album while Stained Class is an average Priest album.

 

[Kalata]

No contest here. Painkiller is probably the best Priest album.

 

[The_7th_one]

Stained Class and Killing Machine are the best ones for me.

 

[Perun]

Stained Class for me.

Why?

 

[PieceofMind89]

Why?

Because of the great guitar riffs and solos, Rob's vocals and Les Binks drumming. All tracks are great, no filler.

Stained Class was a big influence to NWOBHM and thrash metal.

Painkiller is also great and in my top 5.

I forget to mention Sin after Sin

I forget to mention Sin after Sin

Also Sad Wings of Destiny, Screaming for Vengeance, Defenders of the Faith and Firepower. That's why I love Priest, they have so many great albums

When I want good early metal with warm analogue sound, I pick Stained Class. That album has a lot of class.
Painkiller I used to consider my favourite album in late middle school. A couple of years went by without hearing the album and now that I've become familiar with it once again, I must say it is a metal masterpiece that few can equal. Glenn Tipton played some of the best guitar solos in metal on that album, the guitar riffs from him and KK are absolutely essential from start to finish, Rob Halford was phenomenal and Scott Travis brought a new energy with drums that pound like cannon fire. Painkiller is the ultimate example of melodic heavy metal, it is the aspiring rock guitarist's wet dream.

IMO Painkiller is #1 tied with Sad Wings Of Destiny. Stained Class is right behind at #3. So yeah... Painkiller.

Painkiller, but were it Sin After Sin vs Painkiller I'd pick the former.
