 Guardian Angel! I completely agree with you! Most people don't like change and are scared of anything new. It's too bad for them because that is how you discover new things that you find you love. I really wish that Priest would receive the recognition that they so truly deserve. It's a real shame that people tend to appreciate things only when they are gone and then it is too late....
That's why I LOVE Priest too - there is an album for my every mood

If I can say anything, maybe those other bands stuck to the formula that works for them, and people know what they're getting and are more comfortable with that. Priest is always evolving & challenging themselves. And THAT is precisely what appeals to me about them. They have music that covers different moods and vibes, but their style & flavour still comes through. |

I agree also, Priest doesn't get the recognition they deserve at all. And yeah, some people do have a problem with the fact Rob is gay - who the fuck cares if he's gay, what's it got to do with anyone else? And, what has it got to do with the music? NOTHING!

Priest never gets the credit they deserve,there are lots of people that think Iron Maiden started heavy metal instead of Judas Priest..ect...its a shame.Maiden is very overrated in my books although I do like the band just not all of thier albums. And yes...if it were Maiden or Metallica doing a christmas album you could find it at every gas station let alone every music store!

Reading this, I am seriously looking forward to hearing these songs, but I've been restraining myself because I really don't want to hear Christmas music until its actually getting close to Christmas. Maybe I'll buy it and sneak it in the Best Christmas ever' cd case, or better yet the 'Carols from Kings college'. See if my family notices...

I found "Winter Songs" at a local cd shop a couple of days ago. I listened to some of it in my car (where it still is). I was grinning from ear-to-ear!  Awesome that he and the band did the songs metal!! Can't wait to hear the rest of it, 'tis the season, y'know.
