I won't be voting in this round because I'm not familiar enough with thrash to consider it appropriate. From a bare look at the choices so far, it looks like Ride the Lightning has a real chance of moving on to the next thread. What happened, GMD?! Fuck, in the eighth grade, my band played "For whom the Bell Tolls" at the middle school talent show!
The album would get my vote. My point is that GMD is losing its trve kvlt edge.
To Mega Therion is one of the hardest albums to classify IMO. What would you consider it?
My band played it in 8th grade too heh. In a way you're right, it's hard to listen to anymore because it's so easy to remember what's going to happen note for note at this point. I had to list it due to influences though, might've never gotten into thrash without Ride the Lightning.
I dunno, I think the first two albums are usually approved by even the trvest ov kvltists.
I can't really get into their vocals on By Inheritance, solid album musically though. When Death Comes is probably my favorite from them. Terror Squad is alright.
Haha, did you take both of the leads or split it with another guitarist?
It's the votes for Among the Living that make me sad.

If you see Anthrax live, it will make sense. They have a thrashier live show than Megadeth especially recently. Almost as good as Slayer's. If you put the big 4 in order from thrashiest to least in terms of live shows:
Slayer
Anthrax
Megadeth
Metallica
No contest. They deserve a spot on here, they're just not a 'serious' thrash band as much. More like a fun crossover band, with better guitar work.

I can see Slayer appearing in the top 10 of this poll with no surprise with what I've seen from GMD over the years. Metallica love is something that has always been rare here.
First wave Blackened Thrash Metal with Melodic Jazzcore and a tiny little bit of Deathened Death Metal influences.
Deathened Death Metal? How can you deathen something more while it's already dead?
Two Slayer and two Metallica in the top 10 so far. Top 20 has three from each band and two from Coroner/Sepultura. So, half of the top 20 is 4 bands. Great.
I initially hated Artillery, then I went through a short phase where they grew on me a little, and then I realized that no, the vocals are terrible, and most of the writing is also. At least you can make an argument for Megadeth based on the music.
That's boring. Ugh.Two Slayer and two Metallica in the top 10 so far. Top 20 has three from each band and two from Coroner/Sepultura. So, half of the top 20 is 4 bands. Great.
