The band experienced commercial success in 1980 with the release of their album British Steel. In 1982, the band released their best-selling album, Screaming for Vengeance. During the glam metal era of the 1980s, the band became popular for their attire which included leather, spikes, and other taboo accessories.The current lineup of the band consists of singer Rob Halford, guitarists Glenn Tipton and Richie Faulkner, bassist Ian Hill, and drummer Scott Travis. With the ever-rotating lineup of the band, Tipton and Hill are the only two members to feature appear in every album. Halford's operatic vocal style and the twin guitar excellence of Downing and Tipton characterize the band's music which has influenced many other heavy metal bands.In 2022, Judas Priest was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
