More interesting would be 'who are the best after Metallica'. I think Metallica will always win otherwise

The Anthrax hate is way overblown let's be real.

Testament, and even though they aren't there, Death Angel are two of the most overrated bands in thrash though. Aggressive mediocrity is even too generous
Death Angel got interesting once they stopped playing thrash. Act III is one of the finest albums to ever come out of the Bay Area.

Evidently not on the votes so far though?

Megadeth by a distance. Testament the most consistent and currently their latest releases are the closest thing to trash compared to others.

Exodus live > any other band on that poll.

I really like Exodus and have seen them live 4 times but the best band as a spectacle on the Bay Area package tour that was on in the National Stadium was Death Angel.

Never got Sodom,had a few albums years back but never grabbed me.

Im a huge fan of the mid/late 90s Testament stuff,chunky and heavy.

How's it overblown? I utterly detest them (bar a handful of songs). I'd honestly prefer to listen to some shite K-Pop than the scutter that Anthrax have produced.

More importantly, at this stage, I'd prefer to listen to Anthrax than read another post about how bad they are #meta

Destruction a contender for anyone? Certainly dyed in the wool thrash through and through!

Hashtag I did allude to that in my original post about how I felt about them :laugh:

Destruction? Just another b-tier (it we're being generous) generic AF thrash band.

I don't think you can be called "generic" if you're the first  ;)

Anthrax had some good stuff. Testament would interest me more than any of the rest and have for a while.

Havent heard the latest Testament,but Anthrax recent output is far more interesting compared to a lot of the others imo.

Worship Music is a fantastic album (For All Kings wasn't), the best thing any of the 'big 4' have put out for a long time, though they're not really a thrash band anymore.

The last thrash album that really impressed me was Overkill's White Devil Armoury, and that was a few albums ago from them.

Slayer got my vote, at their peak they had an attitude and atmosphere that keeps me listening.
