There's no hiding the fact that Priest is my favorite band ever. From the bald head to the head-voice screams, I've got the Halford thing down to a T. In fact, I've been meaning to start a Priest tribute for some time, but it always falls through.
I'm a huge fan of Ripper of course, and am proud to be buddies with him.
As far as albums go, Sad Wings, Stained Class, Defenders and Painkiller take the cake.
