4. Anthrax. Their songs really seem to be hit or misses for me, and unfortunatly, and while I do have a few songs I like from them like Indians and Madhouse, I just don't care much for their whole image.
3. Megadeth really never got into them that much, that being said I can name quite a few more songs by them I like compared to Anthrax.
2. Metallica Good band that started out strong but then lost its foot after the Black Album. That being said I believe they are going in the right direction with Death Magnetic (just ignore their dreadful album Lulu). I hope they decide to come back to their older sound.
1. Slayer one of my favorite thrash metal bands only seconded by Kreator, That being said I love Slayer's darker imagery and taking on subjects that some people aren't comfortable talking/thinking about. They also served as a gateway band for me into more extreme metal bands like Vader, Death, and Mayhem because of that.
