I don't think Priest had the true staying power that Maiden had.
Again, I think Unleashed in the East is a top 10 all time metal album. And the fact it is live is amazing as most live metal recordings are not good.
At first it was all British metal and some Euros, Priest, Maiden, Saxon, MOTORHEAD, UFO, Status Quo etc
Then the Americans just bum rushed the scene Metallica, MEGADETH, Motley Crue, Guns and Roses,Pantera, Slayer, Great White, Ratt, Poison,on and on,,,
And I'm not saying all the above mentioned bands are good but,,,
Just like the revolution, the Brits won the early battles, the Americans won the war,,,
