'Sin After Sin' is the third studio album by Judas Priest. Produced by Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover, it was the band's major label debut, their first album for the label, and their only album to feature drummer Simon Phillips, a studio musician who replaced original drummer Alan Moore for the recording sessions.

'Stained Class' is the fourth studio album by Judas Priest. It is the first of three Judas Priest albums recorded with drummer Les Binks, as well as the first to feature the band's now well-known logo in the artwork. Musically it is considered the album on which the band honed many of the elements of their hard-edged signature sound, dispensing with most of the progressive and blues rock overtones and softer ballads of previous efforts. The album features such notable tracks as 'Exciter', considered an early precursor to speed metal and thrash metal, and a cover version of 'Better By You, Better Than Me' by Spooky Tooth, which became the subject of an infamous civil suit in 1990 which alleged the song subliminally influenced two teenaged boys to make a suicide pact. Upon release it was a modest commercial success, reaching number 27 on the U.K. Albums Chart and becoming the band's first album to enter the U.S. Billboard 200; it was eventually certified gold in the latter country. Retrospectively, it is regarded by some as one of the most important and influential albums in the development of heavy metal and one of Judas Priest's best records.

'Killing Machine' is the fifth studio album by Judas Priest. The album pushed the band towards a more commercial style while still featuring the dark lyrical themes of their previous albums. At about the same time, the band members adopted their now-famous 'leather-and-studs' fashion image, inspired by Rob Halford's interest in leather culture. The album was retitled 'Hell Bent For Leather' for its U.S. in February 1979, due to controversy over the Cleveland Elementary School shooting. Both album titles are drawn from the titles of songs on the album with 'The Green Manalishi (With the Two Prong Crown)', an early Fleetwood Mac cover, being added to the U.S. release.

'Unleashed In The East' is the first live album by Judas Priest. It was recorded live over two nights in Tokyo during their Hell Bent For Leather Tour in February 1979. It was the last album to feature drummer Les Binks. To what extent the album was really live remains a matter of contention, with the album sometimes being called Unleashed In The Studio. Years later, after he had left Priest, vocalist Rob Halford noted in various interviews that the music was indeed live, but that his vocals had been ruined in the original recording and were later dubbed in a concert-like studio setting. Upon release it became the band's best-selling album up to that point, reaching the U.S. Top 100 and the U.K. Top Ten, eventually the album became one of the five Judas Priest albums to gain a RIAA platinum certification.

'British Steel' is the seventh album by Judas Priest. It was the band's first album to feature Dave Holland on drums. The album saw them reprise the commercial sound they had established on 'Killing Machine', but this time they abandoned some of the dark lyrical themes which had been prominent on their previous releases. During an interview with Wall Of Sound's Educate Ebony podcast, Max Cavalera stated British Steel is the "essential thrash metal" album everyone needs to hear and says "I'm sure you can ask Metallica, if it wasn't for British Steel they wouldn't be here."

'Point Of Entry' is the seventh studio album by Judas Priest. Following the commercial success of their previous album 'British Steel' (1980), the band pursued a more radio-friendly direction. The album's name reflects its intended purpose as an accessible introduction to the band's music and the heavy metal genre in general.

'Screaming For Vengeance' is the eighth studio album by Judas Priest. Considered the band's commercial breakthrough in North America, it has been certified double platinum in the United States and platinum in Canada.

'Defenders Of The Faith' is the ninth studio album by Judas Priest. The album was certified platinum by the RIAA.

'Turbo' is the eleventh album by Judas Priest. The album is notable for the band's change to a commercial glam metal sound, that had them using synthesizers for the first time.

'Priest...Live!' is the second live album released by Judas Priest. The songs were recorded on their 1986 'Fuel For Life' tour which supported the album 'Turbo'.

'Sermons Of The Sinner' is the debut album by KK's Priest, formed by former Judas Priest guitarist K.K. Downing and featuring former Judas Priest vocalist Tim 'Ripper' Owens.

'The Sinner Rides Again' is the second studio album by KK's Priest, formed by former Judas Priest guitarist K.K. Downing.
