Metallica, becausethey we're the most original out of the bunch. Plus, Kill em all and Ride the Lightning are 2 of the best records of all time.

Metallica because I don't like metal but they have made me like them. Plus Kirk Hammet is an incredible guitar player, best still active guitarist in my opinion, but thats just me.

Slayer.
Megadeth.
Metallica.
Anthrax.

They're all quite bad, but I can stand certain aspects of Slayer (and hey, I can even appreciate earlier Slayer albums), and Anthrax is at the bottom because I have an irrational hatred of Scott Ian.

I voted for Anthrax.

Even though I'm not into metal anymore, I still like them a bit.

Not a lot of love for Anthrax, but with the quality of the other three, I can understand.

Anyway, I prefer Metallica over the rest of them, then Megadeth and Anthrax are about equal, with Slayer behind all of them.

Slayer is the best, though Kreator is definitely the best Thrash band.

Well, the reason they have the success is because so many people like them, so it all makes sense in the end. There is a reason why Metallica are always highly rated, they deserve it, despite recent years. Still, those first 4 albums were the best!

Tough decision between Metallica and Slayer, but in the end I voted Metallica because I've only recently started listening to Slayer.

Definitely not, like I said above, I prefer the other 3 bands over Slayer. Of course, it's all opinions, but I was really just talking about Metallica and their success :)

For me it's Lar's drumming. To be precise, the tone of his drums.

Oh ok. If you havent heard anything off Kill Em All or Ride The Lightning, you should really check those 2 records out. But I respect your opinion.

For me it's Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax. I'd like Megadeth almost as much as Metallica, but I don't like Dave's voice at all. Megadeth and Slayer are about equal for me, and I just don't like Anthrax...

Megadeth.

Metallica isn't even an option after the second album, I've never listened to Anthrax, and Slayer got old and boring way too fast.

Metallica were good once upon a time. Slayer has kept good throughout the years. I say Slayer. I never liked Anthrax too much, and while Megadeth is good, it's not Slayer good.
