Thrash Bands

Pantera and Slayer at the top. Slayer has the edge because they came around earlier and were way more innovative(and made better music IMO) No other bands even deserve to be on the list with them.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Listen to some actual thrash and be amazed.

Not in any order:

Coroner
Dark Angel
Voivod
Heathen
Exodus (with Baloff)
Whiplash
Forbidden
Infernal Majesty (debut)
Sodom
Anacrusis
 
That's pretty closed minded guys:
Top ten thrashers IMO (in no order)
1 Coroner
2 Death
3 Slayer
4 Arch Enemy
5 Carcass
6 Withered Beauty
7 Celtic Frost
8 The Great Kat (I said she could shred, not sing)
9 Judas Priest (yes, they had a few good thrashers out there, though few and far between)
10 Sacred Reich (they had a few good songs, just check out Surf Nicaragua or Independent!)

Do you even know what thrash is? You got a few right, but Carcass was never considered thrash. Neither was Arch Enemy, Death, Celtic Frost, or Judas Priest. While these bands, at times, have some thrash sounds in their music. They would not qualify for "one of the greatest thrash bands". That's just my opinion.
 
Hmmm, didn't we JUST go through this topic? :confused:

For the record, it's all well and good to mention real underground bands to prove how smart we all are, but this is thrash. And the thread is "10 Best Ever."

That being said, the best thrash bands ever might look something like this (not in order):
1. Metallica
2. Anthrax
3. Megadeth
4. Testament
5. Exodus
6. Kreator
7. Slayer
8. Destruction
9. Death Angel
10. Vio-lence or Forbidden or Sodom

How is it that NO ONE has mentioned The Haunted?

Because it's "of ALL time" Jeff. I love 'em too, but they've only got 2 albums...I don't know, I always have trouble considering "new" bands as "the best" or frontrunners within a genre. I'd also consider Susperia one of the best thrash acts out there right now too, but I didn't include them in my list either.
 
768 posts is nothing compared to the folks in the Opeth chat/off topic forum. They're up tolike 3000.

I just talk a lot. I've also been hanging out at the Appropriate Apocalypse forum at the bottom of the UM main page. I now write for that 'zine.
 
S.O.D.
Anthrax
Megadeth
Metallica
Slayer

Sorry, that's about all I can think of. I once saw PRIMUS in a top 10 thrash list in a magazine (or did they call it shred?). I love Primus, but thrash!?!?
