Like Baz siad... I would also remove Diamonds & Rust from the choices since it is a cover. It was originally written and recorded by Joan Baez.

"A Touch of Evil" is the best one of those, but because I don't think it's a ballad my vote goes for "Diamonds and Rust", even if it's a cover, it's just beautiful!

Victim Of Changes is not a ballad!! and neither is A Touch Of Evil !

But I'll choose '...changes' since it's available for voting.

i do consider it to be one because it has a slow rhythm and that clean guitar part

it IS a ballad. can't see why people would say it isn't. It has all the prerequisites of a ballad.

Diamonds and Rust... far away ... in despite of the fact that's a cover ... it's an amazing version ...

Beyond the realms of death, probably one of the best songs that has ever been made.
Strange that not Run of the mill was an alternative...I would have voted for that one if it was an alternative.

Beyond the Realms of Death is my favorite Judas Priest song, and probably has the greatest solo of any Priest song ever.

I think "A touch of evil" and "victom of changes" are the best of the list, at least to my taste.

I'm glad to see all the love going out for Angel. Beyond the realms of death gets my vote since it is more emotional for me.

I think I used to prefer "Beyond the realms of death" but I have not been able to remember it for a long time, so my vote goes for "Before the Dawn". Astonishing.

Of course BEYOND THE REALMS OF DEATH!!!...it is the best song ever created, simply the best! In 1978 no 1 had made such a mythical song, the clean part then the heavy attack of the chorus. Tiptons amazing solo and k.ks crazy solo! The lyrics are one of the best lyrics written in history!

Victim of changes is not a ballad and i really like before the dawn!

"Touch Of Evil" hands down, just bought Painkiller a few weeks ago and that has to be one of my favourite songs on the album.

The original is way slower than Unleashed in the East. But even ballads can be pretty fast. It is a misconception that ballads should be slow.
