They'd up the ante in the 1980's with an amazing run of albums and even more success.Singer Rob Halford, guitarists Glen Tipton and KK Downing, bassist Ian Hill, and drummer Dave Holland were an astounding group of musicians that would help shape hard rock and heavy metal for many future generations.We had a great time recording this episode and hope you will share YOUR Best & Worst of 80's Judas Priest in the comments below!
