All three of his "Gospel" albums ('79 - '81) sounded a lot better to me about a decade after they were released. ....and yep, there are plenty of classic tunes on all three.

Very true. I think it was the shock of it at the time. But just as shocking was Infidels in 1983. Man of Peace is one of his best, IMO.

He's a great Humanitarian
He's a great philanthropist
He knows just where to touch you
And how you liked to be kissed
He puts both his arms around you
and you feel the tender touch of the beast
You know sometimes Satan, comes as a man of Peace.

Yep. They contain some of his best work, but tend to be under appreciated by most fans.
