That's why I voted them...... I also like Testallica.. ehmmm I mean Testament and Exodus very much:)

Agreed.

While Exodus, Testament, Laaz Rockit, Forbidden, Death Angel, et al all contributed mightily to the Bay Area Thrash sound, NOT A ONE OF THOSE BANDS IS EVER EVEN NOTICED without Metallica breaking down the walls. Hate them now if you will (we all do anyway), but don't disrespect the legacy.
 
These success of Metallica first 3 albums were thanks to Dave Mustaine & Cliff Burton.
 
I voted for Testament. They are overall one of my favorite bands ever. I do agree that early Metallica owns but I just like Testament overall a bit better.
