Top 10 Thrash Metal Questions to Ask Users of TheTopTens

The Top Ten
1 Metallica or Megadeth?

Except Tornado of Souls, Peace Sells and Hangar 18 I find rest of Megadeth songs not so good as compared to old Metallica. New Megadeth sucks as much as new Metallica, if you all are giving excuses that Megadeth remained true to their genre (Toute le Monde for example, though the song is really good).
Nothing can beat Master of Puppets and Fade to Black, and that seals Metallica's victory here.

Metallica is better, but Megadeth did have some great songs in the 80s, and today that are more complex than those of Metallica's. Megadeth is also more of a Thrash Metal band than Metallica, but didn't make nearly as much good music.

Megadeth if you look at their total discography. Metallica if you look at just their first four or five albums. Definitely Megadeth has been better in the 2000's.

Personally, I believe that Metallica was way more influential, but I prefer Megadeth. Both are amazing bands though.

2 Best Thrash Metal Album?

I'm going to go with The Years of Decay by Overkill. It has some thrash classics like Time to Kill, Elimination, I Hate, and Evil Never Dies, as well as some longer songs like The Years of Decay, and Skullkrusher.

Rust in Peace! So many great Megadeth songs there! And this is THRASH, not heavy metal. So it's Megadeth, not Ride the Lightning.

Ride the Lighting probably my favorite album of all time

For me, Reign in Blood. Rust in Peace is a close 2nd though

3 Who Was The First Thrash Metal Band?

Metallica was not the first thrash metal band, as Slayer, Exodus, Overkill, and Venom were formed before then. I guess Venom is the first thrash metal band.

Queen played Stone Cold Crazy, Priest had Dissident Agressor, Sabbath had Symptom, but really Venom was the first thrash band.

Queen and overkill helped. But venom were the first thrash band. Al the big 4 did was popularise it.

Bands like Anvil, Queen, and Overkill all helped lay the foundations, but VENOM was the first thrash band in my opininon

4 Best Thrash Metal Band?

Megadeth, because this list is Thrash Metal. Yeah, Megadeth may have sold out, but they came back to their roots and gone great in the 21st century. Though not popular, they were still creative. The new albums still had some distinct sound. If the list were Heavy Metal, Metallica would win in no contest, even with Iron Maiden on it.

Overkill is the best Thrash Metal band since they never really made much bad music, and had better music than any band in the big four. I also like the singer in this band, and his interesting singing voice. However, Exodus, Kreator, Annihilator, and Slayer are also great thrash metal bands.

It's hard to think about it but Metallica has always been not only one of my favorites, but also my favorite thrash band. I mean, come on. Why hate on some overrated things?

Even though I prefer Megadeth, I would probably have to say Metallica.

5 Reign in Blood or Rust in Peace?

I actually prefer Peace Sells... But Whose Buying over Rust in Peace. However, Reign in Blood is better than both of those albums.

Reign in Blood by far. Rust in Piece is overrated and boring. (I like Hanger 18) Reign in Blood is heavier and more brutal than Rust in Piece. Megadeth has a terrible fanbase.

Rust in Piece is not as good as Reign in Blood. And it's DEFINITELY not as good as Ride the Lightning.

Rust In Peace. I only like some songs from Reign in Blood. I like at least 60% of Rust in Peace.

I prefer countdown to extinction to rust in piece. So, I think they should swap those

6 Exodus or Testament?

This is tough. I'm gonna go with Testament because Chuck has a more powerful voice

I only like one song by each band. Not a big fan of either of them.

Testament. Chuck is the best Thrash singer.

Testament. But I like Exodus a lot.

7 Sodom or Kreator?

Just think, PHANTOM ANTICHRIST. The best comeback album ever.

Pleasure to Kill is easily a top 5 thrash album. Kreator

Kreator, easily.

8 Anthrax or Overkill?

You guys just like Anthrax because they are in the big four. Overkill is much better than Antrash.

I don't know any songs by Overkill so I'd have to say Anthrax.

No competition at all. Anthrax is better

Overkill have been more consistent.

9 Annihilator or Coroner?

I like both, but I never became a huge mega-fan of Coroner. Annihilator wins for me

TOUGH! Annihilator, but it's basically tied in my opinion.

Coroner! Because Coroner has been consistently better.

I must say annihilator.

10 Havok or Evile?

Havok plays with more energy and intensity. But Evile is great too, they sorta remind me of Testament

Evile is great, and I like Underworld, but I guess Havok is better.

Havok are the best modern thrash band.

The Contenders
11 Master Of Puppets or Rust in Peace?

Rust in Peace, although I like Metallica more than 'deth.

Master of puppets

Master of Puppets

12 Holy Wars or Master Of Puppets?

Holy Wars has better riffs so I go with Holy Wars. I still love Masters Of Puppets.

That is tough. But in a Thrash Metal basis, it's Holy Wars.

13 Heaviest Thrash Metal Band?
14 Slayer or Venom?
15 Reign In Blood vs Master of Puppets vs Peace Sells... But Whose Buying
16 Reign in Blood or Pleasure to Kill?
17 Is Thrasher a Band?
18 Reign in Blood or Black Metal?

Reign in Blood. I'm not a fan of black metal.
