One band that I notice you're missing is Heathen, who should make the top 20-25. Unless Heathen High are the band that I'm talking about.

Destruction could do with a raise, too.

Yea, there's no band named Heathen High.

I think Morbid Saint could drop a bit. Annihilator should definetly climb to their spot. I'd also say Death Angel and Coroner should be in the top 20. Also, as grim said, Destruction and Heathen, as well as Watchtower, could do with a significant climb. On the flip side, Nevermore aren't much of a thrash band and can be lowered a bit.

Seeing as for some reason you only have 47 artists, some suggestions: SOD. Should be on here anyway. Obliveon and Sacrifice, maybe?

SOD should be higher than Laz A.D. and Municipal Waste. Actually get rid of those two and replace them with Sadus(!!!!) and Infernal Majesty.

Sanctuary aren't really thrash either and I'm iffy with early Nevermore. They have their thrash influences, but I wouldn't call them thrash bands. Put in Sabbat and Mekong Delta instead. Maybe Aura Noir and Exumer.

Sadus and Mekong Delta aren't on this list? :shock:

I think Megadeth should be # 2. I'm guessing that Slayer is ahead because of influence. To me, Megadeth's career is just more impressive.

I like Megadeth more than both Metallica and Slayer, but #3 is right where they should be.

Well if you was going by skills/greatness as a metal band....Megadeth would be ahead but I know the criteria here.

Nesquik · **Posted:** Tue May 03, 2011 2:10 am

Skill doesn't mean shit and greatness is dependent on the criteria.

Impact and influence both easily belong to Slayer. Popularity can get fucked on this one since they are both massively popular.

Maddolis · **Posted:** Tue May 03, 2011 5:18 am

If skill had anything to do with it we wouldn't have a thrash metal list.
No but seriously skill is a weak argument, we have other lists based on skill anyhow.

Black Zeppelin · **Posted:** Tue May 03, 2011 5:23 am

Once again........I'm not making a statement here. I just said Megadeth wins when it comes to skill. Learn to read what my comments mean.
