I think I'd have to revisit my list to see exactly where Invincible Shield lands, likely in the lower half of the top ten - but I have the same top and bottom album as you with some differences in between lol.

Good video. So much comes down to personal taste, but I thought your assessment of Rocka Rolla was bang-on. Not traditional Priest, but a fascinating window into their origin story. You have to listen to it that way, and try not to compare with what came later. On its own, there are some enchanting tracks. I love 'Run of the Mill' and 'Never Satisfied' - actually, all of Side Two is a trip.

Don't want to over-comment, but have to say that there is not a single song on 'Turbo' that I like. It is last on my list. I almost stopped listening to Priest after that one, but got a grip on myself and continued listening.
