...not talking here about the ones that everyone knows or what the casual Priest fan calls classics. I am talking about those tracks that never receoved any airplay, the ones that you actually had to possess the albums to nkow and love.

My two favorite Priest songs of all time are

1) Tyrant, live from Unleashed in the East. Just a great live version of an awesome song. Ian Hill's bass line actually carries much of this song, as opposed to so many of his others where he is just carrying the bottom line. The changes and harmonies in this song (IMO) are the best that Priest has ever done.

and

2) the Sentinal, studio version from Defenders of the Faith. Great power throughout, and the lyrics and story really compliment the feel of the song itself. Just a strong powerful metal song that captured my appeal and imagination from the first listen that I ever had.

yours?

The Sentinel and Jawbreaker are both the standouts on DotF.

All good, and there are lots more...
Guess I'm breaking the "less known" rule, cuz it got some airplay, but
I will always have a thing for touch of evil...mostly cuz the vocal line is perfect in every way, beginning to end...back in the day, I'd play that song 10 or fifteen times in a row, screaming along with it over and over.
