I'm just curious which of these bands(I tried to include everyone I could think of) is the best thrash band. I'm trying to make sure I haven't missed anyone important in my collecting.

So who is the best thrash band?

Damn Jake, that was a tough one. I voted for Coroner because I love that band. But was difficult to me to left the others out, I guess that thrash is one of the sub-genres were to define a single band is really difficult. [img]images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img]

I also agree about Coroner. I will say, and have always said, that Tommy Vetterli is one of the most underated guitarist out there. The thing that would have really helped them out was a heavier sound. The riffs on Punishment are totally weak sounding. Had it been more of a crunch like say Overkill's "Under the Influence" or something, they might have been as big as Kreator, Sodom, Destruction and so on. My opinion only.

My pick was early Metallica followed closly by Slayer. It doesn't get much better than the Reign cd or Seasons.

...and check out [b]Whiplash[/b] too! "Power & Pain" and "Ticket to Mayhem" are thrash classics. Their last cd, "Thrashback" thrashes old school style too.

And naturally, my favorite - [b]Sacred Reich[/b] wasn't listed, so I'll be the one guy who voted for [b]Voivod[/b].

I voted for Flotsam & Jetsam because I figured noone else would. I could just as easily picked Testament or Anthrax. Three of my favorite bands of all time...
