An underrated thing about Priest, and one of the things that has made them a great band: They are huge fans of the genre, and were never afraid to enjoy and embrace the newer stuff that came after them.

If Metal God says those are good songs - those are good songs

I had a fun day with Halford about 40 years ago. Interviewed him, went out for lunch, then record shopping, the sound check and then the concert with him coming onstage on a Harley.

A legend revealing his passion by being a fan.

I was 16 in 1978 when my buddy brought over the Stained Class album, we unwrapped it and played it on my mom's stereo. I was like "WTF IS THIS!" My friend, who was a year older said, I'm not kidding, "This singer is some kind of GOD!" We were already into Sabbath, Zep, Deep Purple - but THIS was a whole new UNIVERSE. The 1st song on that album, "Exciter"- NOTHING sounded like that before....LOVE Mr. Halford!!!

This guy just a great spokesman for metal. A vocal legend.

I can’t say enough great things about Rob Halford. He’s very unique, an incredible singer and lends sooo much respect to other musicians. Love you Rob !!!! 🤘

Rob Halford is on my shortlist of the greatest hard rock/heavy metal singers and for him to speak so respectfully of one of the others on that list is pure gold...long live Ronnie James Dio.

"Singers love other singers..."... and we LOVE you, ROB, KLAUS and RONNIE!!

Everything Rob is saying about the greatness of other singers and bands 100% applies to Rob himself and Judas Priest. 100% iconic and genuine awesomeness!!!!

The Metal God has spoken

Very humble of Rob to cite Ronnie as a mentor, as they were of the same generation in terms of success. And Rob was doing as equally impressive things vocally in Priest at the same time as Ronnie in Rainbow.

A list I could have chosen. Rob Halford is as awesome as a guy that he is as a singer.

Halford is such a humble man. He praised guys from the same generation as him and from the next one which most of the legendary guys would do not because most of the time they want to make you believe they were not influenced by other bands from the same period and they often hate the next generation that makes them feel like has been. The Metal God has a heart of gold 🥇

I've always loved how Rob is not only a musician but he clearly is also a huge music fan who doesn't just sell heavy metal, but lives it. How can you not adore this man? What a global treasure. I can listen to this man talk for hours. I can recommend everyone the audiobook versions of his books.

Rob Halford...Untouchable talent in his heyday...Judas Priest 70s era, their most creative, artistic, heavy era, and sadly under the radar for many..They were every bit as important in shaping heavy music as Black Sabbath were...Halford is a class act...always was, always will be ❤

Great list. Rob, you are a gem, a gentleman, and a true metal god...

I have read that Ronnie James Dio was one of the nicest and most down to earth rockers ever. He was not on my radar until Black Sabbath Heaven and Hell. Neon Knights is one of the greatest opening songs of any album ever.

Glad Rob likes Scorpions' Blackout, that song is SO underrated.

The US Festival in 83 which I was blessed to have attended must have been a Dream Come true for Rob.

Love you Rob. You've been in my life my entire life. Saw you last year in Detroit with Queensryche. And many years ago at the Palace of Auburn Hills. You haven't lost a beat. Much love to you and the band.

David Bowie aswell, lol! That guy was a genius!!

Love you Rob! Thank you for all those albums and shows..I saw you live twice, once in Quebec and once in Montreal.. it was sooooo good!

Than you Rob for everything, the music, this list, and thank you for your life. You are awesome brother.

I love how Rob is supportive of generations of metalheads that came after Priest like the thrash bands, Pantera and Rage, and it warmed my heart that he included David Bowie, an artist I still miss. Thank you, Rob! You are a true scholar and gentleman

I am a Metal Head, but I luv and was raised on David Bowie. But I luv all of these bands u have just listed. 🤘🇺🇸🗽🇬🇧🤘

The metal God has spoken. These songs are indeed good.

Saw you last week in Charlotte, you guys rocked!!! Heavy metal Gods for sure🤟😎

Victim of changes is on my list crazy we like the same music.

Rob himself is a very humble man, and I love his voice. Fight was awesome, my personal favorite from that era is Nailed to the Gun. Kick ass! 🤘🏻🇸🇪🤘🏻

Rob is the man. Long live Judas Priest!

Halford will be remembered as a hero of metal!!

Rob is a treasure. Just one thing tho: Bowie HATED when they said he was a "chameleon", his reasoning being that chameleons change color to blend with the surroundings and go unnoticed, while he pretty much did the opposite.

I've long considered that my gods are Rob Halford and David Bowie. To see one revering the other just gives me chills.

Priest has been around so long you'd think they'd be promoted to Judas Pope. :)

Great list rob..definitely agree with you on bowie..

All bangers. This guy is a legend. I wish he lived forever

So much respect

I agree with the list and I also agree David Bowie was something out of this world.

I first saw Priest with Iron Maiden and Scorpions way back on their Point of Entry tour, and most recently their Firepower tour here in Denver. If I was stranded on a desert island and only had 3 albums, they would be: Judas Priest's Sad Wings of Destiny , Queensryche's Rage for Order, and Rush - 2112.

Saw Dio in Sydney in 76, still the best concert I’ve ever been to, his voice WOW

Mr Halford knows whats good. 🤘

Who starts a countdown at number 1? Rob Halford that's who.

Rob Halford is as cool as it gets. My first concert was "Defenders of the Faith" at the Tacoma Dome. I was in 6th grade and it was the best concert of my life to this day!!

EXCELLENT VIDEO & THANK YOU FOR ALL THE MUSIC YOU HAVE BROUGHT TO ALL THE FANS PERFECT PICKS !!!

I like Slayer's Angel or Death but I recommend Thin Lizzy's song of the same name too. It's a killer

yes fuck yeah Rob Halford 🤘 Victim of Changes!!!

Holy Diver and Ronnie is my all time favorite song and my total hero of a vocalist! Yeap, how can you not agree with that. But all his choices are great, love Halford. Saw them in Toronto oh gosh… 42 years ago? They were AMAZING!

Great stuff from Rob «Rock gawd» Halford. What a legend!!

I Love Judas Priest so no wonder Rob Halford loves the tunes I love ❤😂

Love the metal god-seeing him live in Leeds in 3 days yeahhhh!🤘🤘🤘

Rob is great 🔥

This was a really solid list.

I learned how to do the 5th octave scream from Rob Halford and also picking apart joey belladonna's technique when I was doing the local metal scene in the 1980's...

Te quiero más que a mí mismo, Rob Halford.

I ❤JUDAS PRIEST!!!

Very cool. Be cool to see more metal icons do these kinds of videos.

I love you man Rob Halford you're number one thank you be safe you're a beautiful person how is 5 or 6 years old when I was introduced Judas Priest it's been my whole life favorite way of life a way of saying yeah hell yeah Rob Halford you're very encouraging positive force for us all of us I am in my 50s tell no one

ZZ Priest 😁

Im kinda blown away right now because I see Rob has a Native American Kachina doll above his left shoulder and it is the same one I have right now above my right shoulder. Its called, Eagle Dancer.

Amazing taste from one of the more amazing all time vocalist of any musical genre

The joy and pride some of these musicians, who were heavily/principally influenced by Judas Priest, must have felt when hearing Rob Halford name their songs among his favorites must have been immense.

Metal God's words...🤘😎

I am happy that the Scorpions made the list :)

Great selection there.Another great song of all classic is breaking the law💖

I saw Priest with Pantera as support. Killer show 👍

If this wasn't Rolling Stone's Channel I'd give it a thumbs up. That was a good list. Terrible rag, but a good list.

You have a tremendous taste Sir!

Can’t dispute this list 🔥 💯 🔥

Great list from a great musician.

Gr8 taste Rob❤❤❤❤❤

Dream Deceiver,by JP, my all time favorite song,ALL time.

LOVE Mr. Halford!!! Lemmy

Oh yea, flawless taste in music! Legend all the way

a beautiful selection

YOU were the comet that brought us metal, Rob!

Perfect!!

It’s true that guys like Lemmy and Dio are gone. I’m grateful they have left behind this great music to inspire us all continuously, I’m also grateful that you are still here with us

Cool!! Paranoid is my favourite song for many years!!

Great pics, Rob…but what are your favorite top 10 Priest songs?!?!

Unbelieveable great list. Hail to priest

"Sad Wings of Destiny", THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

very good picks mr halford

Rob, you are a bloody legend. I can't say that I agree with your taste, like for like, but I can say it's very very similar. It's awesome that youre not too proud to accolade other bands/songs that do it for you. Keep a rocking mate, you ARE a legend.

Mr. Rob Halford, You've filled my life with musical pleasure. My number 1 influence is Tom Scholz of the band Boston. I play guitar so I wonder how it would be if Tom Scholz had played lead on Johnny be Good or perhaps Parental guidance. More importantly I wonder what you might think about that. Especially since we look the same except you're the one with the longer beard.

He's absolutely amazing 🤩

You are a legend rob

Got to see Rob and crew Point of Entry and Screaming for Vengeance, a crisp clean tight wall of sound, they were just on, it was amazing -- LIVE - the way music was intended to be played.

I'd have to add "The Sentinel" to this list.

A lot younger Fans don't know how influential the Scorpions were, it's great that the Metal God gives them the respect they deserve.

Big Rob, also known as Santa Claus of heavy metal! hahahaha The list is very good, I sign below! Greetings from Brazil, I want to see Judas Priest here, Judas' new album is really cool!

Rob , you are the best ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Rob Halford... Metal god. Absolutely legend... Rock hard and rock on.. Metal forever.. 🤘🤟🤙

"Overkill" is even better than "Ace of Spades".

Sweet! Bark at the Moon is my favorite Ozzy song.

The best voice in Metal..

Metal God Rob

Excellent list! Very impressive! Rob doesn't give himself credit. I love it all, up the irons BTW lol.

Wow, Scorpions? Unexpected. One of the greatest rock bands. Early stuff with Uli Roth incredibly good but underrated.

When a singer supreme like Rob says that Ozzy's voice is overlooked some people's minds need to be changed and listen back to that weird uniqueness again because he's really saying there's nothing quite like it. He didn't/doesn't do many vocal acrobatics but the power, tone, pitch and most importantly the mad personality in his delivery are there. Ozzy's singing is unique and overshadowed but more technichally accomplished performers like, say, David Coverdale or Sammy Haggar (don't flame me, I like them both. But they don't hit my brain the same way Ozzy does. They hit me in different ways, perhaps more conventional).
