Listen to the first three albums from Metallica and you will understand why. (Kill Em All, Ride the Lighting, & Master of Puppets) They are generally regarded as the pinnacle of thrash metal.

These were also all recorded Cliff Burton, Metallica's first bassist who had a lot of influence in the direction of the band. After he passed away they slowly sold out & went soft.

For Megadeth listen to Peace Sells Whose buyin, if you can't get into that you probably won't like Megadeth.

Anthrax, I've never been a fan, but the Bring the Noise single with Public Enemy, and the Persistence of time album are worth checking out.
