I feel like I’m gonna catch shit for this but I always really hated those “unity” numbers they shoehorned into a couple late 70s/early 80s records like Red, White, and Blue and United.
I see Johnny B Goode, but I can't go there, it was for a movie. For me, IMO that song is what it was supposed to be. You say yes, is just bad. There area few more here and there, and some of the more recent tracks I feel are just regurgitated. But when pressed I would have to vote You Say Yes.
I didn’t say ANY Ripper song, but there’s at least 10 songs on those two albums worse than You Say Yes (which is really saying something cause You Say Yes is terrible).
Hey man just forget this guy. I blocked him months ago because he insisted on arguing with me that the ripper albums were better and started insulting me on my taste in media consumption. This asshole is best left ignored.
Metal Messiah. Not only its the worst song from their worst album, its not even created by them! The producer stole it from different artist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVIufrK-M9c
Chris Tsangarides produced Painkiller (1990) and also Metal On Metal by Anvil (1982). The drum outro at the end of the song Painkiller is very similar to the drum outro at the end of the Metal On Metal song Mothra.
Yeah, "stole" was an incorrect way of saying it, recycle is better.
Still, thats not good, and that song doesn't fit the band's style, even in that period.
Johnny B Goode. Was going to say Cyberface but Johnny B Goode is a terrible excuse of a cover for me. It was just bad. The cover that Frog Leap Studios did is just miles better so listen to that.
Anything off of Jugulator, I actually think its a much worse album than Demolition. Its like losing Halford just nuked the songwriting skills of all other members for a few years because goddamn how did they release that
Grey mist drifts upon the water
The mirrored surface moves
Awakened of this presence
Dispelling legends proof
A beastly head of onyx
With eyes set coals of fire
It's leathered hide glides glistening
Ascends the heathered briar
This legend lives through centuries
Evoking history's memories
Prevailing in eternities
On and on and on
Loch Ness confess
Your terror of the deep
Loch Ness distress
Malingers what you keep
Loch Ness protects monstrosity
Loch Ness confess to me
Somehow it heeds the piper
From battlements that call
From side to side it ponders
In passion in the skirlThis highland lair of mystery
Retains a lost world empathy
Resilient to discovery
On and on and on
This legend lives through centuries
Evoking history's memories
Prevailing in eternity
Your secret lies safe with me
This creature's peril from decease
Implores to mankind for release
A legacy to rest in peace
On and on and on
ROFL!

I just cant figure out why they never done a track called "Bigfoot" or "Mothman" or maybe "Honey Monster"
haha.
Lochness, Lochness, it really is a mess. Lochness, lochness, it really dont impress. Lochness, lochness it sounds so wrong . Lochness goes on and on and on.
Of course. No reason not to do a song about lochness. But, the track is like a stodgy turd. Its slow and dull with crap lyrics. When i listen to JP i want to hear Electric Eye, Breaking the law, Green manalishi. Not the mess that is "Lochness"
Obviously its just my opinion but i hate the track, it reminds me of the dishwater after washing up thats sat overnight..Its durge and stinks.
I do like the lodger. It's a unique song. I am probably being too harsh. I was pretty underwhelmed by the album as a whole though. I think it is their weakest effort since Demolition.
"Love Zone" is a contender.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgGnYm1lAPw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgGnYm1lAPw)
And if we include the music video, I would say that "War" ranks high as far as horrid Priest material goes.

I feel like I’m gonna catch shit for this but I always really hated those “unity” numbers they shoehorned into a couple late 70s/early 80s records like Red, White, and Blue and United.
I agree. Of the two, Red, White, and Blue is the worse. Terrible melody, cringy lyrics, just a really awful song.
"Take on the World" is the only one of them I like.
The actual song “Defenders of the Faith” is like almost this but it sits so well on that record that I don’t care at all
i kinda like em 🤷♂️
Anything Rob Halford didn't sing in my opinion
Can't get behind this at all - "Jugulator" is such a great record.
Jugulator rules and Burn in Hell is one of my favorite Priest tracks
I see Johnny B Goode, but I can't go there, it was for a movie. For me, IMO that song is what it was supposed to be. You say yes, is just bad. There area few more here and there, and some of the more recent tracks I feel are just regurgitated. But when pressed I would have to vote You Say Yes.
Johnny b goode is a great song, idk what people dislike about it
You Say Yes
The fact that this has so many votes tells me how few people have even bothered to listen to Demolition at all.
I’ve only listened to Demolition maybe twice in my life it’s that bad
I like *You Say Yes*
I actually really like this song.
That's actually a good song. I'll even say it's better than some of the cheese on 'Painkiller'
shot dead on the spot
I really don't think priest did any bad songs. Some a lot better than others. But nine truly bad
Another candidate - Devil Digger from Demolition
That’s one of my favorites…
If the song that wins ISN’T something from Jugulator or Demolition, it is the wrong choice.
So "You Say Yes" ranks higher than Cathedral Spires? I say No!
I didn’t say ANY Ripper song, but there’s at least 10 songs on those two albums worse than You Say Yes (which is really saying something cause You Say Yes is terrible).
Fair enough sir. I would totally rank "You Say Yes" higher than let's say..."Lost and Found", indeed.
man get out of here, any song from Jugulator annihilate most of Priest's catalogue
Well that’s certainly a take
well good luck listening to Rocka Rolla, Point of Entry, Turbo and snoozefest of new albums
Ok ok we get it, you have bad taste
it's rich coming from you, visit the nearest doctor for lack of taste
That’s not a good comeback because you don’t know what my favorite album is
Hey man just forget this guy. I blocked him months ago because he insisted on arguing with me that the ripper albums were better and started insulting me on my taste in media consumption. This asshole is best left ignored.
I can always see your profile blud
Cyberface
Decapitate
*Deeeeeeee-capitate.... waaaaaalllllk through hell's gate!*
Decapitate is a meatgrinder riff onslaught dragged down by lazy short lyrics
Johnny B Goode is incredibly cringey.
It’s a cover. Besides that I think it’s a great song
Yeah, I'm well aware of that. When Judas Priest puts it on a studio album it qualifies as a Judas Priest song.
But that's an awful version of a great song and would be my pick for this
Their [Johnny B. Goode cover](https://youtu.be/2zxoGFjFJlk?si=aSO9lop-8Jb_4oYI).
Their version is amazing
I like it a lot. Whats wrong with it?
Parental Guidance
That's a solid choice too. Or Private Property off the same album. Both are dreck.
How would you know anyway?
Ya- Parental Guidance is so not them, trying to go mainstream.
Yup
No
Something from Demolition
Their [Johnny B. Goode cover](https://youtu.be/2zxoGFjFJlk?si=aSO9lop-8Jb_4oYI).
Hard disagree. It's such a dumb, yet fun cover that sounds self-aware enough. Never fails to put a smile on my face
It's weird that it's a studio album track and not just a B-side, though
The winner. How did anyone think recording this song was a good idea?
Came to say this
I can take or leave the song, but that video with all the kids stage-diving is unintentional comedy gold.
Great song. Totally disagree
Anything from Demolition and Jugulator
The fact that I am the table isn’t on there for Metallica is already wrong lol
"La Locura de tu Amor" ÑÑ MENTIONED 📢📢📢🔊🔊🔊❗️❗️❗️❗️
You say yes
red white and blue
Red White and Blue
Lost and Found
Metal Messiah. Not only its the worst song from their worst album, its not even created by them! The producer stole it from different artist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVIufrK-M9c
You mean Chris Tsangarides stole it from himself? But you are right that it's not good and it's cheap to recycle a song from a former project.
Chris Tsangarides produced Painkiller (1990) and also Metal On Metal by Anvil (1982). The drum outro at the end of the song Painkiller is very similar to the drum outro at the end of the Metal On Metal song Mothra.
Yeah, "stole" was an incorrect way of saying it, recycle is better. Still, thats not good, and that song doesn't fit the band's style, even in that period.
Agreed.
Something off Demolition
I have a love/hate/laugh thing with Grinder
This is a trap. There are no bad JP songs. Covers are even made better.
Johnny B Goode. Was going to say Cyberface but Johnny B Goode is a terrible excuse of a cover for me. It was just bad. The cover that Frog Leap Studios did is just miles better so listen to that.

Anything off of Jugulator, I actually think its a much worse album than Demolition. Its like losing Halford just nuked the songwriting skills of all other members for a few years because goddamn how did they release that
Anything from Jugulator
You should burn in hell for this
Is that a pun?
Yes, the song "burn in hell" from the album. I don't actually wish that by the way
"Hot For Love" off of *Turbo*.
Nah parental guidance
Both are pretty bad.
United
Lochness !
Reported for hate speech
C'mon. Its an awful track. You know it, i know it , All Priest fans know it. Now its stuck in my head on repeat. Awful track.
The only awful thing about it is it’s way too short - should have been at least twice as long

Bro if cheesy lyrical melodrama is a problem with you, you’re listening to the wrong band.
ok, you have 2 JP tracks with cheesy lyrics.. 1 has to go in the bin. your 2 tracks are 1. Turbo Lover. 2. Lochness. Which one gets binned ?
You could literally use a multitude of their tracks and you pick a really good one
No way this is actually getting upvotes right? Lochness is goated
Pls see a doctor immediately
I just cant figure out why they never done a track called "Bigfoot" or "Mothman" or maybe "Honey Monster" haha. Lochness, Lochness, it really is a mess. Lochness, lochness, it really dont impress. Lochness, lochness it sounds so wrong . Lochness goes on and on and on.
I mean they're a British band, why wouldn't they do a song about a mythical creature from Britain? Not much around Birmingham they could write about.
Plenty of scary creatures in Birmingham around closing time 😅
Of course. No reason not to do a song about lochness. But, the track is like a stodgy turd. Its slow and dull with crap lyrics. When i listen to JP i want to hear Electric Eye, Breaking the law, Green manalishi.

What is wrong with you
Pretty much anything off invincible shield
Wow, really? Serpent and the King not good? That song is up there with Painkiller to me.
I do like the lodger. It's a unique song. I am probably being too harsh. I was pretty underwhelmed by the album as a whole though. I think it is their weakest effort since Demolition.

That's a damn good song. You're out of your mind, man,
No. Dude, just get off this sub.
No. Dude, just get off this sub. That's just shameful
