.Judas Priest - Winners of the 2010 Grammy Award for “Best Metal Performance”

‘British Steel’ has long been considered one of metals all-time classics. It was with this release that Priest truly broke through to the masses, with a pair of tracks that have become fixtures on rock radio - the enduring anthems “Breaking the Law” and “Living After Midnight.” But like all classic albums, there is not a single weak track detected on ‘British Steel,’ as evidenced by such standouts as the perennial concert highlight, “Metal Gods”, as well as “Rapid Fire”, “Grinder”, “United” and “The Rage”, amongst others.

In 2001, the album was remastered and reissued with extra bonus tracks, and also, was the subject of an in-depth study as part of the popular ‘Classic Album’ TV series.
