I went with Slayer!

Could have easily picked Exodus....Slayer and Megadeth would be just behind Bonded by Blood, Anthrax's debut is weak compared to the other debuts from the early years of Thrash... but had to pick Kill Em All - that album brought trash to the national level, killer album - not as good as the next few releases, but still a great album.

Well, my favorite to listen to of all these is Ultra-Violence, but as far as a title-holder, there's no denying Metallica holds that.

Toss up between Exodus & Metallica. I voted for Exodus.

Strictly for its historical importance, Kill'Em All.

Sentimental favorite for me personally would be Feel the Fire.

Do you remember what the backwards message on [the vinyl version of] Feel the Fire was Freddy?

If memory serves, it's something along the lines of "There's no message here, a**hole, you're gonna ruin your needle!"....

This is when and where I get my ideas on future CD's to buy !
Without question - " Seek and Destroy " exploded me with happiness and joy -
I heard it on a college radio station Sunday night -
and immediately everyone called up and wanted to hear more -
that LP was a jet rocket to the top for them - that made every metal band look bad - lol -
Everyone was somewhat aware of " Am I Evil " song -
talk was being talked in all the underground metal clubs etc -
even with Dave Mustaine kicked out and forming his own band - what times !
" Ride The Lightning " was one super duper follow up LP - forget it !
I even stopped playing guitar soon after that -
NO WAY could I even touch those blazing hot and angry riffs -
too bad about Cliff Burton - that accident - was right up there - with Randy Rhodes - as far as I'm concerned.

Which one did I enjoy the most? Killing Is My Business

But there's no doubt that Metallica captures the distinction put forth in this poll.

I ALMOST said KIMB. It's part of the Big 4 but still way underrated I think. To me the songs are just as good if not better than KEA.

haha

He wrote most of his first 3 albums in the same year!

Hetfield has never admitted that he was influenced by Mustaine and I think he needs to.

Fistful of metal. not a big anthrax fan but this cd rips headbanger

Concerning Megadeth - I heard Mustaine - in a interview - with someone
how he HATED the LP cover of KIMB - plastic skull, cheesy this and that - I mean angry -
He blamed the lack of $ popularity $ he should of had - because of the LP cover - angry

I thought it was a great image ! Very 80's. Even back then. Anyone feel the same ?
I just looked on EBAY and saw the new cover art work design - too bad.
They should of left it alone.

I was privileged enough to live in the Bay Area when Megadeth first hit the scene, and knowing what the original image/concept for Vic Rattlehead looked like and how it turned out on the original cover of KIMB, I totally understand why Dave was pissed (apparently, Combat Records took it upon themselves in the eleventh hour to alter the cover, either due to losing the original artwork or a lame executive decision). It looked like a parody of what it was supposed to be. History has made it a little bit easier to take, but the original drawing and the one that appeared on the remaster were much more in line with what Vic was supposed to be about.
