They have sold over 50 million albums and are frequently ranked as one of the greatest metal bands of all time. Despite an innovative and pioneering body of work in the latter half of the 1970s, the band had struggled with indifferent record production and a lack of major commercial success until 1980, when they rose to commercial success with the album British Steel.
The band's membership has seen much turnover, including a revolving cast of drummers in the 1970s and the departure of singer Rob Halford in 1992. Tim "Ripper" Owens, formerly of Winter's Bane, replaced Halford in 1996 and recorded two albums with Judas Priest, before Halford returned to the band in 2003. The current line-up consists of Halford, guitarists Glenn Tipton and Richie Faulkner, bassist Ian Hill and drummer Scott Travis. The band's best-selling album is 1982's Screaming for Vengeance, with their most commercially successful line-up featuring Ian Hill, Rob Halford, Glenn Tipton, guitarist K. K. Downing, and drummer Dave Holland. Tipton and Hill are the only two members of the band to appear on every album.
Halford's operatic vocal style and the twin guitar sound of Downing and Tipton have been a major influence on heavy metal bands. Judas Priest's image of leather, spikes, and other taboo articles of clothing were widely influential during the glam metal era of the 1980s. The Guardian referred to British Steel as the record that defines heavy metal. Despite a decline in exposure during the mid-1990s, the band has once again seen a resurgence, including worldwide tours, being inaugural inductees into the VH1 Rock Honors in 2006, receiving a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 2010, and having their songs featured in video games such as Guitar Hero and the Rock Band series. In 2022, Judas Priest were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Judas Priest Lyrics
(Up here in space)
(I'm looking down on you)
(My lasers trace)
(Everything you do)
You think you've private lives
Think nothing of the kind
There is no true escape
I'm watching all the time
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
I'm elected, electric spy
I'm protected, electric eye
(Always in focus)
(Can't feel my stare)
(I zoom into you)
(But you don't know I'm there)
I take a pride in probing all your secret moves
My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
I'm elected, electric spy
I'm protected, electric eye
(Electric eye) in the sky
(Feel my stare) always there
There's nothing you can do about it
Develop and expose
I feed upon your every thought
So my power grows
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
I'm elected, electric spy
I'm protected, electric eye
I'm elected, electric spy
I'm elected protective, detective, electric eye
(I'm looking down on you)
(My lasers trace)
(Everything you do)
You think you've private lives
Think nothing of the kind
There is no true escape
I'm watching all the time
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
I'm elected, electric spy
I'm protected, electric eye
(Always in focus)
(Can't feel my stare)
(I zoom into you)
(But you don't know I'm there)
I take a pride in probing all your secret moves
My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
I'm elected, electric spy
I'm protected, electric eye
(Electric eye) in the sky
(Feel my stare) always there
There's nothing you can do about it
Develop and expose
I feed upon your every thought
So my power grows
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
I'm elected, electric spy
I'm protected, electric eye
I'm elected, electric spy
I'm elected protective, detective, electric eye

@clementcachico5240
It's hard to choose for me... There's so many Judas Priest songs that can have this "title" Here's my personnal list:
Dissident Agressor.
The Hellion / Electric Eye (of course).
Ram it Down (it's easily my 2nde or 3rd favorite of the band)
The Calm before the storm/ Nostradamus (more power metal than heavy but still).
Painkiller and/ or Leather Rebel.
The Sentinel.
Judas Rising.
I don't know. I feel like I'm just listing my favourites rather than anything...
@levinolan636
My mom bought me the album when I was a kid 5th grade. I loved metal as a kid. I did not have a dad. I had my mom and metal. People love and take care if your kids.
