We all know about the so called big four American 80's thrash bands.

Anthrax
Megadeth
Metallica
Slayer

Now add a fifth American 80's thrash band.

Who would you like to see alongside the big four? I say it's between, Testament, Death Angel, Overkill, and Exodus

My vote goes to Exodus, JUST.

Exodus obviously. They're labelled as thrash and they formed before any of the thrash 4 did.

Yeah Exodus. They're big enough, and they have been a very influential band in Thrash, and like Infinity said, they formed before any of the big 4.

@Mercenarion who was the other band you voted for?

I voted other. Sadus. I probably would of voted for Overkill, but I like Sadus more. I never got into Exodus to be honest.

Last.fm: Mercenarion

Hard choice: Overkill, Exodus and Death Angel are all possible candidates buth Annihilator would be a good addition too.

Annihilator are Canadian. Great band, I love Annihilator.

Tough choice, but I went with Overkill, I was debating between them and Exodus, both of em seem about equally influential though

Shit yeah!... Shit no, No One likes shit!

Went with Overkill, however it was a close to Exodus and Death Angel.

When in Danger or in doubt,
Run in circles, Scream and shout.

I've always referred to Testament, Exodus, Death Angel, and Overkill as the "2nd big four" all 4 of those Bands are like the forgotten tier of mainstream thrash bands to me.
