Hi to all!
As you should all be aware by now I am a huge Judas Priest fan. While I have noticed some threads requesting this song or that album I came up with an interesting solution to the whole problem.
I came up with this solution while thinking about the DLC, specifically in relation to Metallica. It was said that Metallica would have DLC that spanned their career.
I was then thinking about what albums of JP I would love to see and came to the conclusion that I would love to see a little from each album. So, instead of releasing every single album, why don't they release a career retrospective box set. In JP's case the "Metalogy" album would be perfect, as it contains all of the hits that everyone knows and likes and also includes the great, lesser known stuff that fans would love to play.
Obviously a set like this would be a little pricier, but it would be well worth it. I'm not just suggesting this for JP, but for all other bands as well. If a career retrospective box set is available, why not release a band this way on RB? You would please most people (Can't please everyone after all).
Here's the tracklist for "Metalogy" so you can see what's on it and what I mean by Hits and Greater Technical stuff:
