Format:Audio CD
This is the first cd I ever bought bearing the legendary metal name "Judas Priest". It gave me a real insight on just how great and different-sounding the band could be. First, listen to all of the tracks, then determine which era suits you best, and finally collect those albums. However, since then I've been purchasing every album (because the band is THAT good!!)
The collection takes about 1 to 2 tracks from each album, starting with 'Hell Bent For Leather' and proceeding all the way to the last Halford album 'Painkiller'. I took off one star because now I realize that this collection isn't as complete as 'Metal Works '77-'93'. But for the beginner, this offers some (hence the word "some") of the greatest classics such as 'Green Manalishi', 'Hot Rockin', 'Electric Eye', 'You've Got Another Thing Comin', 'Freewheel Burning', etc.
Oh, and one thing I need to point out: Don't listen to the "Iron Maiden-crazy-reviewer" who says that this sounds like soft, light 70's rock. I'm also a big fan of those metal legends, too, but let's be honest here. The track 'Metal Meltdown' is HEAVIER than anything I've ever heard from Iron Maiden. Just Listen to 'Turbo Lover' and tell me that it doesn't sound 80's. You can't. Some of the songs do have that 70's rock sound to them, but listen to the two tracks from the '84 era. It was an example of some of the greatest metal in existence.
The albums I recommend the most are: 'Sad Wings Of Destiny'(1976), Stained Class'(1978), 'Hell Bent For Leather'(1979), 'Unleashed In The East'(1979), 'British Steel'(1980), 'Screaming For Vengeance'(1982), 'Defenders Of The Faith'(1984), 'Ram It Down'(1988), and 'Painkiller'(1990). You can't go wrong with any of these!

Format:Audio CD
"The Best of Judas Priest: Living After Midnight", is a decent greatest hits album and entry points for new fans to one of the greatest and most influential bands of all time. Most of Priest's well known songs like "Living After Midnight", "You've Got Another Thing Comin'", "Breaking the Law" (a live version which I find more adrenaline charged than the original studio track), and "The Hellion/Electric Eye" are here, along with some other great songs like "Green Manalishi", "Turbo Lover", and a live version of "Heading Out to the Highway". However, there are a number of songs like "The Ripper", "Metal Gods", "Better By Better Than Me", and "Exciter" that should rightfully have their place here in place of songs like "Freewheel Burning" and "Metal Meltdown". All that aside, this is a good greatest hits album, but I find the "Metal Works" collection a much better package, however if your looking to get into the band and don't want to spend too much than this is as good a buy as any.

This album is essential for any metalhead. It chronicles the best of this dynamic band from 1979's The Green Manalishi to 1990's Metal Meltdown. Although this CD should have included Painkiller, it has so many other killer tracks, it pretty much goes by unnoticed. This is a great for a Priest newbie or a metal newbie. This is the definition of METAL. None of the garbage like Korn or Sevendust, this is true metal to the core. Rob Halford's voice is amazing. It is superior to almost any singer today. Happy Headbanging!

Judas Priest 101.
Sure some good songs are not here, but for a basic single disc collection it's great. All the big hits are here. Plus we get a live "Heading Out To The Highway". I love that song. Read more

This CD provides a broad sampling of music from the legendary rock band Judas Priest. The amount of music you receive for the price is totally worth it.
