Today's playlist:
Judas Priest - Stained Class
Judas Priest - Killing Machine
Motörhead - Overkill
Girlschool - The Collection (Best of 2CD)
Stained Class is in my mind probably the best Priest record of the 70's, while Killing Machine is somewhat dull, although that one has some cool tracks as well. Stained Class however is a very powerful album and has some of those really big choruses, like in the title track and the awesome cover song.
Overkill is classic stuff, of course, but the album's fault in my mind is that the opener is one of their greatest songs of all time, and the other songs don't match it in any universe, so it kind of falls flat from song number two onward, only to pick up a little later with great songs as Metropolis in the end etc.
Girlschool, or the female version of Motörhead, are to me pretty much a best of band and I've never bothered to dive deeper, although this compilation surely has some magnificent tracks on it.
