I don't think Sin After Sin has been mentioned yet. Among Priest's early efforts, that one is mad undrrated. Their cover of "Diamonds and Rust" is amazing.
I grew up loving Maiden and thinking Priest were alright with some great songs but as the years have gone on I've become more neutral to power metal, and Maiden for many of the same reasons. I still like them but they aren't a top tier band for me any more. Dirtier 80s power and speed metal like Omen and Jag Panzer is where I get my power metal fix now. My opinion of Priest has only shot through the roof though. And Sin After Sin rules of course.

I was gonna offer more gifs (for comparative purposes) if you weren't convinced.

By the way, big ups for that Saxon Live album recommendation. I'd never heard that before. I don't know if it's the best '80s trad metal album, but holy **** does it kick serious amounts of ass. Great, great live album. It's got as much energy as AC/DC's 'If You Want Blood, You've Got It' and that's a serious compliment.

NEVEEER SUREEENDEEEEEEER!

I think all these 3 albums are much inferior to Whitesnake glam metal record "1987", because its musicianship was on a higher level and its songwriting was on a higher level.

Pre-1987 WS was not hair metal. They have two different eras stylistically.

I absolutely diasgree. The 80's Maiden blows the 80's Priest away. The 70's Priest albums (minus Rocka Rolla) plus Painkiller is a very good or great heavy metal material, but in the 80's Judas Priest definitely went for American dollars and wanted to become radio-friendly/commercial in the USA (unlike Maiden) so I consider none of their 80's albums great, while every 80's Maiden album is more or less great.

I think "Live in the heart of the city" was Whitesnake's crown achievement.
