Thought my first post better be about thrash, seeing as it's my favourite genre of music by a long shot.

These are my top 10 favourites.

1. Anthrax
2. Megadeth
3. Annihilator
4. Nuclear Assault
5. Overkill
6. Metallica
7. Slayer
8. Vio-lence
9. Kreator
10. Voivod

As an Aussie it's hard not to mention Mortal Sin also
Pantera would be in there, they're 90's though.

...Pantera would be in there, they're 90's though.

Pantera were around in the 80s, to me their "Power Metal" album will always be their best.
