1Rust in Peace - Megadeth
Amazing riffs, amazing solos, amazing bass playing and Dave is one of the better thrash metal singers.
Hangar 18, Holy Wars, Tornado of Souls, Rust in Peace... Polaris - all great songs. This akbum has some of the best riffs and guitar solos ever written, Marty Friedman and Dave Mustaine really show what they can do in this album!
Simply the best.. Everything is amazing about this album and I don't think anyone can do any better..

2Master of Puppets - Metallica
WOW! The only reason Megadeth beat Metallica is because all the Megadeth fans focus on beating Metallica. Come on! All of Metallica's albums beat any of Megadeth's album. Metallica has more originality and musicality than any other band EVER! Just look at any official list: Master of Puppets is 1st, Ride the Lightning is 3rd, and Rust in Peace is 16th or something.
I'm a metallica and megadeth fan... Yeah I admit when it comes to thrash megadeth is surely the winner but among the two albums I'd choose metallica's
Had to go with this one, but it was a HARD choice. Most of the albums here are either from Megadeth, Metallica or Slayer, which are my favorite thrash metal bands. But I have to say Master of Puppets is a masterpeice, from beginning to end.

3Ride The Lightning - Metallica
If Metallica fans weren't split over Master of Puppets and Ride the Lightning, Metallica would easily take back #1. Tornado of Souls is the only truly great song on Rust in Peace, but the two Metallica albums I mentioned have many amazing songs.
4Reign in Blood - Slayer
5Kill 'Em All - Metallica
Best Thrash metal Album of Ever! "!
The Riffs, The solos! Greatest Hits of Metallica!

6Among the Living - Anthrax
7Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? - Megadeth
8...And Justice for All - Metallica
I think this album deserves much better place. I feel that everybody has kind of overlooked it because there is no cliff and bass is very quiet and the production is not that good, but I actually like itbecause it makes unic sound to it. If you listen to the actual music it is band's best performance to this day. Best solos from metallica, best singing, hands down best drumming and the riffs are magic. I ask everybody to have it honest listen before judging it. Sorry for my english.
Best album ever from metallica.
9Beneath the Remains - Sepultura
10Pleasure To Kill - Kreator
It's one of the 4 most important Thrash Metal album ever.
The Band is very awesome and this is an important album for the band too. Pleasure to kill doesn't sound that good like the Thrash album today but for this time it was an awesome album with awesome songs. I think the Album has great songs and I hear some of them often.
