I went with Megadeth. Cause of "Rust in Peace" is probably the best album to come out of all 4 of these... "Ride the Lightening" would be a very close second though.

Slayer, mixed for me. "Reign In Blood" is mainly filler besides the book end songs.

Anthrax, never beent hat into them. They have a few great songs, but always my least favorite of the big 4. I always thought they should be replaced with Testament.

Megadeth has more variety to me, good guitar work. I personally find people make to much of a deal out of Kirk Hammett...

Kerry King, his solos are usually just okay, while I think Jeff is the one does the better stuff.

But "Rust in Peace" between Mustaine and Marty Friedman, they came out with great stuff.

Megadeth
Slayer
Metallica
Anthrax
