As far as thrash in general, bands like Metallica and Megadeth don't really do it for me (though One by Metallica may have been the first metal song I heard when I was a kid).
I do however really like some of Slayer's earlier albums (out of the "big four")
My favorite thrash bands (besides Overkill) include: Voivod (Even though my favorite work of theirs is the prog metal stuff after Killing Technology), Iced Earth (for their first three albums, all very sentimental to me also), Venom (their first 4 or 5 albums are awesome).
It's still not my biggest area of expertise in metal (that's more in the prog/avantgarde/extreme metal) but I'm lapping it up currently  |
I pretty much grew up on thrash, but I'm still digging into it after all these years. I had the benefit of no money or internet connection when I was really getting into the genre to hamstring me, so I don't know as much as I'd like, but it's still kind of my home genre.
