Loudwire came up with a list of the top 10 thrash bands of all time. Like all “top X lists” it’s some fact and a lot of opinion. Still, I thought it’d make for a good Sunday Metal theme.

#1 Metallica

You knew Metallica would be #1. So let’s go back to when they were actually a thrash band. Here’s their famous demo, “No Life ‘Til Leather”

“The Antichrist”. I always loved Tom’s high screeches on this.

#3 Megadeth

“Mechanix”. really old live footage from 1984… and look at who is playing guitar. Kerry King.

Vixen founder and guitarist, Jan Kuehnemund passed away a few day ago from cancer; she was 51.

R.I.P. Jan. Thanx for all you gave.

While I might debate the other bands on this list, their existence on the list, their placing on the list, you know the top 4 are going to be “the big 4”. And frankly, I cannot debate the ordering here… at least, the ordering relative to each other.

#4 Anthrax

Often forgotten, their first album “Fistful of Metal”. Arguably one of their better albums.

#5 Exodus

#7 Kreator

My exposure to Kreator came later, with “Coma of Souls”. Ah, to be working in (metal) radio again.

I never really got into Death Angel, but I did appreciate they were different. “A Room with a View”

#9 Exciter

“Violence & Force”. I think my first exposure to this album was on a P.M.R.C. “Rising to the Challenge” video. Thanx for the tip, Tipper!
