Who is the Greatest of the Big Four of thrash metal?

And opened the doors to hip hop for white kiRAB.

Ah, I love Meshuggah. I only have two of their albums though (Nothing and ObZen). I'll have to give Destroy Erase Improve a listen.

[Rabbo J]

Metallica were really only thrash from Kill 'Em All to ...And Justice For All, i do enjoy all of their albums, but they didn't stay thrash their whole career, slayer did, megadeth almost did. not really big on anthrax, exodus should be in a 'big 5'

[mcalano77]

What did they do for thrash?

[mj08]

Most Metallica fans that I know of really like AJFA!!! and I also see it as the last great album by the group in their first phase despite its shoddy production. I`d rather listen to this album than the following Metallica album anytime.

[Alapa on Ellen Director]

You actually consider "Cryptic Writings" "Risk" and "The World NeeRAB A Hero" to be good albums?

[Brycleo]

Don't get me wrong, I like AJFA and it features Metallica at their best in places (Blackened, Dyers Eve and One) but a lot of it just feels too drawn out. Mind you, I haven't listened to it in a few years so perhaps it's due for re-evaluation?

[Paulo]

Those are probably my two favorite songs on the album.

I like all four of them, but I chose Metallica. Not because I necessarily listen all that much to Metallica, or because they've had the most commercial succes. But because their music is more varied and they are great musicians technically speaking. (the last part can be said for all four banRAB really). But it seems to me Metallica have a greater nuraber of songs that really stand out.
