Slayer-needs to show some more progression to their playing style, their songs are commonly fast, but lack any amount of complexity.
Megadeth-One of my old-time favs 
Metallica-they is ma second favourite band of all time, yi hope you've actually listened to their albums outside the first 4, many people dismiss them without listening to them, even though they are very good albums (justice is still best though  )
Overkill-another solid band, need to listen to more of them TBH
Anthrax-o.k, but give me armored saint over them anyday
Testament-Can't comment, never listened too them for some reason 
Annihilator-More kudos to you mate, great band.

Replace Annihilator with Nuclear Assault and you've got mine. Though I have listened to the other albums by Metallica.

[Pwnator]

Darn. If you had posted this topic when I was in my thrash metal phase... :P

I'm in my technical prog/death metal nowadays, but I still listen to some thrash from time to time:

- Death Angel (yay Filipinos)
- Sepultura
- Byzantine (yeah, it's a thrash hybrid but that counts :P)
- God Forbid (also a thrash hybrid but it's awesome)

[Naryar]

Melodic/power/symphonic metal is better imo. Unless it's emo.

[madman3]

You know what I'm gonna say Nary...
Power Metal sucks! It all sounds the same and is thin, bland, and genuinely dis-likable.
Yeah for me its:
Megadeth
Testament
Anthrax
Annihilator
then a few Death Metal bands like Meshuggah.

[Naryar]

It all sounds the same

That i agree with. But screaming isn't music.

[yoda9726]

*ahem*  pet peeve of mine.  There's more to screaming than just screaming.  most people don't realise it's actually just singing with a different type of emphasis.  Therefore, if singing is music, screaming is as well. 
 
That being said, "just screaming" isn't music.  screaming correctly is.  And, to me, someone who can switch back and forth seamlessly between screaming and singing, and do both well, is much more talented than someone who doesn't scream at all.
 
Of course, the above is all in my opinion alone.
 
*steps down off my minor rant platform*
 
That being said, Annihilator.  Haven't listened to them in forever.  Time to find them again.

Death metal growls all sound the same and take no skill though 

Anyway some good thrash bands i have on my ipod that haven't been mentioned yet;
Armored saint
Evile
Heathen
Savage messiah
Rage
3 inches of blood (kinda)
Biohazard
Kreator
Raunchy
Voivod

Fair enoguh, as long as you actualy listened to them unlike the people who just prejudge them.
Thoguh if you didn't like DM I REALLY wouldn't bother listen to the loads.

[madman3]

Ho ho you folks should listen to Opeth. Best Metal band period.

[Pwnator]

This is a thrash metal thread, guys. If you wanna rave about death metal, make another thread. :P

But yeah, Opeth's too soft for my liking, so I'm sticking to Meshuggah. :P

And I thought Rage was a power metal band? o_O

[Meganerdbomb]

Why only the first four Metallica albums? They're all good, except maybe St. Anger.

Stanger's a massive flip-flopper.
For every good bit theres a KILL KILL KILL KILL KIIIIIILLLL  bit.

[xanosz]

This better not turn into a Metallica selling out thread.

[Pwnator]

Metallica's selling-out era was at least bearable. There's always the Machine Head's Supercharger-era to cringe about. :P

I agree with that. St. Anger showed that they had a lot of great ideas, but just weren't in a good place to flesh those ideas out into great songs. The various live rearrangements that they've done to those songs have shown how awesome that album could have been. For instance:


The only two thrash bands I really got into were Metallica and Megadeth.
