I like all four bands. All of them have had unimpressive output and really amazing output, and they are different enough from each other that I can't really compare them. When I was young I listened more to Metallica and Megadeth than Slayer and Anthrax, but nowadays I like the bands equally much.

Really, it ought to be The Big Six with Testament and Exodus included.

If anyone likes some thrash metal, I would say they'd also like some Slayer. Not like a fan or something, but it's good quality music. It's like you listen to brutal death metal and you don't like Suffocation or Cannibal Corpse.

When I'm at no-metal festivals, I tend to scream Slayer pretty often when I'm drunk :P
 
Plus, Metallica is far more famous in general. So I would expect them to win. Allthough, I thought they'd lose on most metal forum for selling out to metal music. But I quess I'm wrong.

but when it comes to good music! slayer is far from it :D

My boyfriend tries to convince me that they have some good albums. but still. NO :D

I really really don't like slayer at all..
I can listen to it, but I'll never put it on bymyself..
that's also for metallica..
Megadeth is closer to okay..
and then I'll only be there for anthrax..

Slayer, eventhough they have crappy albums too (just like all the others),
Anthrax is pretty cool, never been a huge fan.
Megadeth, never liked it really. I hate Dave Mustain's whiney voice. Plus the lyrics are so stupid.
Metallica, they do have great albums. But nowadays, on stage... Eventhough Tom Araya can't headbang anymore, he's still a much better performer than James Hettfield. Plus he's vocally so much better. James hettfield doesn't scream anymore, he does some singing as if he's in a pop rock band.

I think in terms of consistency thru the length of their collective careers, Hands Down, you have to go with Megadeth. Even their worst albums like Risk and Cryptic Writings are still more passable than St. Anger or Diabolus In Musica.

And while Master of Puppets or Reign in Blood are considered 5 star classics against Megadeths Peace Sells or Rust in Peace , Megadeth really has had stronger albums overall. Not to mention, Dave has arguably had better musicians surrounding him during his tenure. I would dare say Menza and Friedman would make Metallica better than they have ever been with Ulrich and Hammett.

Just my two cents, but felt it deserved saying....

Damn you are one avant bastard LOL


I recently have rekindled my love for Slayer Heart (and boy its been a while) and now I'm a bit torn as for my #2.
Overall...I enjoy Metallica more musically but they have produced 5 great albums for me, (and a few other songs) while Slayer has 5 great albums, 2 more good ones and a killer EP. So more musical enjoyment or more good ouput???

Megadeth is still the undisputed #1
Also I think it's great all except Anthrax have made really really good "comeback albums" Death Magnetic and World Painted Blood are actually near the top for me for each bands respective discog!

Rust In Peace probably impacted me more in my early stages as a metalhead and a musician than any other album, so just for that Megadeth. Metallica would have to be second, then Slayer, then Anthrax, tho tbh I like Testament better than any of the Big 4 these days.

Metallica obviously. One of my all-time favorite bands.
Megadeth/Slayer would be 2nd.
I dislike Anthrax, except songs Only and Madhouse.
