  Speaking of controversial albums, Judas Priest's decision to go glam in 1986 was not universally well received. Back in the day I was on team "no thanks." On a relisten in 2026, I think it was more an issue of execution than concept. Halford's voice is tailor-made for soaring melodies. They could have made a killer glam metal record. Instead, they gave us Turbo.
