Judas Priest--Metal Works '73-'93 (1993)
Rating--9.5

Hell Bent For Leather--RealAudio
According to the band, this is not really a "best of" collection, but rather a selection of meaningful tunes that it feels gives a good representation of its career. The fact that so many great songs are left off and a couple of just "pretty good" songs are included is probably the only thing keeping it from being a "10". However, it would take quite the box set to include all of Priest's greats. Still, this is what you need to buy if (gasp!) you don't own anything by Priest. 32 cuts sure to keep you hot rockin'...
No real reason to list any highlights... Pretty much all the big names are here, and pretty much every aspect of the band's career is covered.
