I always feel guilty picking what could be considered dumbed down Priest songs but Hell Patrol and Bloodstone are huge favorites of mine with Bloodstone being my favorite Priest song.

I thought of a few more-

Last Rose of Summer- a nice ballady sort of tune, I love this song

The Rage- best tune off British Steel BY FAR

Hard as Iron- this is obviously a pre-cursor to the Painkiller sound and is a great song

Blood Red Skies- sort of a the Beyond the Realms of Death for 80's Priest

Bullet Train- one of the few Owens era songs that can hold up to the classic stuff, great tune

Hell Is Home- I didn't care for most of Demolition but always thought this was a killer song.  Modern but well written.

Blood Red Skies is a killer song.   Demolition is the only Priest CD I don't own but Hell Is Home sounds excellent live.

One last one that may ruffle some feathers-

Diamonds and Rust from '98 Live Meltdown

This is, BY FAR, my favorite version of this song.  This is the one song I think Ripper did better than Halford, and I love the acoustic arrangement.

Compare this to the version on Rising in the East with Halford and there's no comparison, IMO.

Check it out if you haven't heard it before- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dkWcnt0jiI

Cathedral Spires is easily my favorite song off the Ripper era  devilbang
But having said that, it doesn't stand a chance to reach my Top Ten Priest songs

As far as my favorite underrated Priest songs, these especially blow me away!

Dreamer Deceiver
Let Us Prey / Call For the Priest

YES

Cathedral Spires is quite possibly my favorite Priest song period

I also agree with this...that is one of the best ballads of all time...the Live In London version is almost as good
