Aww fuck I'm the only one who voted for Vio-lence so far. Sean Killian's vocals are kind of weird but they grew on me. Exodus is also the shit!

I voted for Heathen since it was the first Thrash band out of the Bay Area that I actually heard in its entirety. I probably should've voted for Megadeth though--it was between those two.

Well... if the emphasis is on Throwback, I'll go with Metallica. Can't stand them now, but their first 4 albums are on my top 10 of all time.

Megadeth had some amazing earlier records as well. I too really enjoyed Countdown and Youthanasia, though they weren't really thrash albums, but people have been saying that about Metallica past Kill 'em All. I hated most of Risk. Some of the songs on the new album are okay, but still not amazing. Better "comeback" than St. Anger though. One of my fav Megadeth "albums" is Hidden Treasures... they've had a ton of amazing soundtrack songs.

Testament would be a close third... The Legacy, The New Order, Souls of Black... all really awesome thrash.

Had to go with Megadeth. Peace Sells is a great album, I listen to it atleast once a day.

With Metallica being my favourite band of all time, it would be obvious for me to choose them. But, since i dont consider anything after Kill 'Em All Thrash, and arent my favourite Thrash band at all. Im going with Megadeth, with Testament, Vio-Lence and Heathen coming in close.

[quote][b]LocustStar (2/24/2006)[/b][hr][quote][b]Efilnikufesin (2/23/2006)[/b][hr]i liek a little bit of youthanasia as well. especially the cover

its has youth from asia on it lol its awesome[/quote]

Yeah, Youthanasia is a great album. The one advantage Crpytic Writings had was the addition of a few faster songs, Vortex, FFF, and The Disintegrators. Those helped vary the album for me. But Youthanasia definitely has some great songs.

Truth be told (heh), I enjoy all of their albums in one way or another...even risk. Ir's got some shitty songs on it, but it has some well done tunes as well.[/quote]

Youthanasia is, I think, my third favorite Megadeth cd behind Rust in Peace and Peace Sells. And I am just like you in that I find that every Megadeth cd has some good songs, even Risk.

Megadeth, no question! KIMB, Peace Sells, SFSGSW, and Rust in Peace are thrash classics...especially Rust, that album is untouchable. Not so much thrash after that, but I still love Countdown and Cryptic Writings. Their last album had its moments, I have relatively high hopes for the next one, which should come out late this year I think.

I voted for Megadeth. They were one of the first metal bands I liked.

Efilnikufesin — Fri, 04 Nov 2005 23:10:55 GMT

i chose megadeth. but exodus was a close second

RE: Favorite throwback Bay Area Thrash band?

Bare — Wed, 02 Nov 2005 07:49:42 GMT

I went for Exodus...

Megadeth & Metallica are obviously the most successful... but I really only consider Metallica's first record as thrash...

When I think of old Thrash... Exodus pops in my head..

Death Angel is a close second for me... and a great come back album in "The Art of Dying"

RE: Favorite throwback Bay Area Thrash band?

I chose Megadeth because they were one of the first heavy bands I got in to. Rust in Peace and Peace Sells are 2 of the very best. However, I like the more recent Testament a lot better than the recent Megadeth. Testaments The Gathering is one of the heaviest cd's I have ever heard. So f'n good it's scary.

I figured we needed more threads in the thrash section so I did this poll!!! Maybe if this one will be successful I can do a now Bay Area Thrash because that area seems to be getting some wind again.
