^Megadeth is definitely far better than Metallica, but neither of those groups are worthy of licking Slayer's ****stained bootstraps.

Yes it does. There are no songs on that album that are not either awful, or cringe-inducing. I'll rock the **** out of "Breadline" though, but that's it.

St. Anger is the biggest steaming pile of dog **** in the known universe.

risk is easily the worst album released by any of these bands though.

Metallica up-to-and-including ...And Justice is just brilliant, their 1989 show at the Houston Coliseum is to this day the best concert I've ever been to but after that, I can't stand the direction they took.

Anthrax...Spreading The Disease is a great, great album - Medusa, AIR, Lone Justice...just sick. AtL and SoE were favorites of mine in high school but I just can't get into them like I used to. I actually fell asleep during Anthrax's set at the Clash of the Titans show, it wasn't anything like seeing them at a small club in the 80s.

Megadeth - one of my all-time favorite bands and it was hard to pick between them and Slayer, Peace Sells is just brilliant - Wake Up Dead, Good Mourning, My Last Words...one of those near-perfect albums. So Far, So Good, So What doesn't get as much recognition as it should in my opinion, there are some great songs on there and Jeff Young was a monster player - in Sperry Top-Siders lmao Rust In Peace - Holy Wars is probably my all-time best metal song, to think Mustaine recorded that solo on the first take, just sick. After Rust I started losing interest in them as they had lost that aggression of the earlier albums - still some great stuff throughout their discography from here on, though.

Slayer...Had to go with Slayer as my pick, Show No Mercy and Hell Awaits are masterpieces - along with Reign In Blood and SoH - even though their later albums can't compare to these, Slayer kept plodding-along and never let-up. Hanneman is one of my biggest influences as a guitarist and his songwriting and composition was just incredible.

Megadeth for sure.

He did? That's profound.

Slayer because they stayed true to their roots and didn't sellout.

Plus Reign In Blood is more thrash than anything Metallica has ever even attempted.

tough choice for me because i enjoy slayer and metallica but unlike so many cry babies i actually enjoy some of the metallica 'newer' stuff and dont think its that bad at all its just different so i choose metallica also on the fact that i always prefer kazaa over napster everu single time!!

Whether or not Slayer sold out they still suck these days every bit as much as Metallica.
