Everything since The Formation of Damnation has been really good actually.

Last one was 2012 and I thought it was great too. I still liked Formation better though.

Could never get into Testament like a lot of other people. They just feel like the ultimate second wave thrash band: heavy enough for the old schoolers, not too heavy for the MTV metalheads, and without much in the way of new ideas. I dig some of their later stuff, especially The Gathering, but in general I'm relatively neutral on them, though I do like a fair amount of their material. Just wish Chuck Billy would quit with the goofy, pseudo-death metal voice he's been doing since the 90s.

I'd say Testament and Exodus are pretty even as far as popularity and name recognition. Most people who don't listen to thrash probably don't know any bands not in the Big Four, and for those who do, those two bands are entry level.

i like slayer the most! fave song by them is "verbal abuse/leeches." love the speed and aggression. not a huge fan of anthrax, but i sample them from time to time; they're probably the least... popular?... of the ones mentioned though. metallica doesn't really cut it for me i guess, but i continue trying to like them for the sake of not offending other metalheads lol. megadeth is decent!

Most people who vote for Metallica don't know the history behind them, they wouldn't have made as big of of a scene in metal if it wasn't for Dave Mustaine, Dave Mustaine is like God when it comes to metal, he pretty much created started speed metal and made made every other thrash/metal band that was in the scene before Megadeth have to pick up their pace and step up their game, it was just another ball game once they started, and everyone realized it, he made everyone get off their asses.
