Here's a Judas Priest Set
Today I learned that the first song on the first released Judas Priest Album is "One For The Road".
The Ripper - Sad Wings of Destiny, (1976)

Diamonds & Rust - Sin After Sin, (1977)

A Joan Baez cover. Here is hers..
Better By You, Better Than Me - Stained Class, (1977)

This is the song that brought Judas Priest to court - The James Vance vs. JP court case regarding alleged subliminal messages resulting in two teens' attempted suicide, and the death of Ray Belknap. The plaintiffs lost the case. James Vance died three years later of an intentional overdose of pain meds. (Source)
Beyond The Realms Of Death - Stained Class, (1977)

Truly the band's masterpiece without any doubt, this is. Rather odd that those teens were so perplexed by the last song, and its silly "Do it" sounds, but this one is so much more touching, and powerful. A very underrated rock song.
1980's British Steel was regarded as Judas Priest's masterpiece album, but I disagree. It contained the hits Living After Midnight, Breaking The Law, and United. It was rather "mainstream", and the result was SUPER publicity in the United States. No doubt it's great but they had already released some seriously good stuff by this time, and would go on to do so afterward.
This was followed by Heading Out To The Highway, and Hot Rockin' from 1981's Point of Entry - furthermore a breakthrough into the mainstream in the States and Worldwide.
But back to the good stuff.
The Hellion/Electric Eye - Screaming For Vengeance, (1982)

Screaming For Vengeance was the Platinum album which also contained You've Got Another Thing Comin'.
The Sentinel - Defenders Of The Faith, (1984)
Source
Love Bites - Defenders Of The Faith, (1984)
Source
Some Heads Are Gonna Roll - Defenders Of The Faith, (1984)
Source
Then came Turbo, 1986, which spawned several more hits. The most popular of which was Turbo Lover. But the album's gem was Parental Guidance, in my opinion.
Ram It Down - Title track, (1988)

Backtracking a bit.. but for a reason. Last but not least is the hit that began it all for Judas Priest, (other than the controversial Rocka Rolla). Another masterpiece:
Victim Of Changes - Sad Wings of Destiny, (1976)

Once she was wonderful
Once she was fine
Once she was beautiful
Once she was mine.. she was mine

The Trayvon Martin Case
-- has nothing to do with race.
The sooner all you black protesters realize this - the better.
Image Source
And why is it that it doesn't make national news when tons of people are upset about a white person's seemingly wrongful death? It's because we don't feel it is necessary to collectively come together and publicly RIOT every time a white person is wronged. It is always an issue with race for them whenever one of their own is wronged - in this country.

A lot of people are pissed off at the way Kelly Thomas was murdered. But do you see mobs of white people protesting, and causing civil unrest because a handful of police officers beat him to a pulp? No. What you see there is an organized effort to investigate a group of officers who went overboard in their attempts to subdue a non-violent person, resulting in his death.
If you oppose the actions of the officers involved in the Kelly Thomas case, but are also blinded by reverse-racism in support of Trayvon Martin, then maybe you need to rethink exactly what you stand for. Go take some time and think about what it means to protect your own human life. Go take a moment to realize that George Zimmerman didn't want to pull the trigger any more than Kelly Thomas wanted to plead for his life for 15 minutes, while cops beat him to death.

RIP Cliff Burton
Clifford Lee "Cliff" Burton (February 10, 1962 – September 27, 1986) was an American musician, best known as the bass guitarist for the American thrash metal band Metallica.
Burton joined the band in 1982 and performed on its debut studio album, Kill 'Em All. He performed on two more Metallica albums, Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets, both of which met with major commercial and critical success. Burton was known for his "lead bass" approach, in which the bass played a melodic and soloist role, in addition to holding down the harmonic and rhythmic foundation of the band.
On September 27, 1986, Burton died when the band's tour bus over-turned in rural southern Sweden. Burton was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Metallica on April 4, 2009.

Evanescence - My Immortal
This song has touched me like none other recently. It's now entered my file of incredible creations. Not may pieces of music regularly draw tears, but when one does, it's a shoe-in for a classic. This piece is simply incredible. I miss you Dad.
