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.
