Dan's Metal Memory of the Month: 10/06

The Priest wins this month's slot for '80s heavy metal flashback nugget. Just making the time frame, Breaking The Law was the band's big hit on their British Steel album from 1980. This particular tune takes Dan back to different time... a simpler time... when paychecks were wasted on chrome rims, lunch was just a choice between Burger King or Wendy's, and one's career goal consisted of lobstering or pumping gas at the local Sunshine station.

(The runner-up Priest track was a rare Rocka Rolla video from 1975, featuring Rob Halford as a Robert Plant wannabe, but alas - not from the 1980s. For the complete evolution of Halford's on-stage identity, check out his latest look as he rejoins the band and resurrects a Baez cover!)
