Although each of those albums are classics, there are still quite a few fillers on each track. Plus, Iron Maiden's sound didn't really undergo a great deal of change or progression during that time.

Old School:
Sad Wings of Destiny
Sin After Sin

The second and third Judas Priest records are phenomenal, but Stained Class and Hellbent for Leather/Killing Machine are a bit overrated.

Middle School:
British Steel
Point of Entry
Screaming for Vengeance
Defenders of the Faith

British Steel is arguably Priest's weakest album prior to Turbo.

Tend to agree, but...any 4 Sabbath consecutive albums negates your argument.(Ozzy or Dio albums, not Tony Martin)

How so? Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die are the obvious duds from 1970-83. That prevents either of the Dio records from being able to be included in such a discussion, and it also puts a damper on including Sabotage and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.
