"Fistful Of Metal" is my favourite album out of everything these bands have released, but i liked Overkill a lot more on stage than Anthrax and "Feel The Fire" is one of the best metal songs evah, so i vote for Anthrax.

Overkill by millions of miles. Anthrax have a few hit songs but are overall pretty bland, while Overkill is one of the best live bands ever and has a very long and strong back catalogue, and whilst not retaining the qualitie of olde they have not quite wimped out either.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

overkill is probably the best all-around thrash band ever

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

Overkill's obviously the tr00er thrash band, but I prefer Anthrax muhself.

 

[Chromatose]

Anthrax; Overkill is too metal thrashin' mad for dear ol' me.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Oveeeerkill. A thousand times, Overkill.

Fuck I hate Anthrax.

hmm ... this is a tough one. both great bands and rather unique ... nobody sounds like them. but both super inconsistent.

Overkill is defitnetelly more tr00 but I'll take Anthrax overall as i've been exposed to them more.

+ Anthrax = NYC ... Overkill = NJ

I had to go with Overkill. Both have excellent early albums but Overkill stuck to their guns. Plus, Blitz is one of the coolest guys ever and Gustafson ruled. When he left I started losing interest immediately.

Edit: losing interest is a bit strong...the magic of their early material was gone for me after Gustafson left. They still put out some good stuff, but it wasn't the same for me.

sorry about the double post, my computer just crapped out while posting...

Anthrax. Solely based on their first few albums. Overkill's been putting out more steady material and is the way more consistant band, as well as having one of the ebst thrash stage shows ever, but Anthrax's Among the Living, Persistance of Time, and Spreading the Disease are some of the best albums of the 80s, not to mention Fistful of metal being such a classic. Tough call, though.

Overkill hands down

Overkill

 

[skeptik]

Overkill is so astronomically better that the fact that this thread even exists is perplexing to me.

 

[KILL TULLY]

Fistful of Metal = THE FUCKING TRUTH but Overkill Overall is Overbetter.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Overkill is so astronomically better that the fact that this thread even exists is perplexing to me.

Aye.

 

[Divine Victim]

I'd probably have to say Anthrax... I guess. Hardly a clash of titans!

 

[skeptik]

You really need to revisit Overkill man.
