Yeah, thrash. The top 3 are probably obvious, but I'm curious who will take Anthrax's spot. Please don't let it be Testament.

Actually, Testament's going in my Big 4. Sorry Bat, but I'm with Frown on this. The New Order was awesome. I haven't heard The Legacy yet, but I'm sure I'll love it.

Or Exodus, to a lesser extent.
Definitely Exodus. Testament are okay to awesome for the most part, but their sound is too derivative to be truly exciting. Whereas Exodus have better songs and are one of the few bands that can be said to have created thrash metal. Exodus' modern albums also **** on Testament's new albums.

I would agree with that if I didn't like The Formation of Damnation so much.

Have you heard Practice What You Preach? That and New Order are my two favourites.

The Formation of Damnation was such a middle of the road thrash album that it gave modern Kreator a run for their money. Bonded by Blood, Tempo of the Damned, Shovel-Headed Kill Machine, and... parts of The Atrocity Exhibition ... Exhibit A put most of what Testament ever did to shame. A lot of their 80s material is patchy, but I'd still put them up against Testament for the most part.
Literally nothing Testament has ever done can **** with those tracks.

I've only heard new order so far. But Testament's still going in my Big 4 because I'm very fond of their style and I think New Order is an amazing album. I can't say that about most of the thrash I've heard. I'll get to Practice What You Preach in a few minutes. Listening to Ocean Rain right now.

**** yes they can. Unless you're going to go into a Chula rant about Alex Skolnick then Gary Holt and Rick Hunolt are second only to Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman as gods of thrash guitar duos. Almost no bands could compete with them for sheer intensity.
