Allow my cringey/ancient introductory post to this thread... there are worse lying around I know it.
I'll come back to Rust In Peace or Peace Sells periodically and be convinced they are the finest staccato symphonies of distorted insanity that have ever been; my forays into thrash metal of the 80's otherwise have not been so successful...
The Megadeth Last.fm radio station has some great bands but not a lot of them impressed, there just isn't a lot that can live up to the progressive excellence that Mustaine has established as a benchmark in the genre... It's easy to forget just how accomplished they were
Jackhammer did an excellent thrash metal thread somewhere though, needs a revival *cough*
Other than that I think some of the heavy metal granddads on here should get naming records they think can better Megadeth's two classics (other than Reign In Blood and Overkill ofcourse), be they pre-1986 or not.
