But he is not big 4... which is probably why he was not mentioned...

Default Megadeth

Megadeth for me. Most varied music while retaining the most solid discography.

This thread proves what I already knew to be true. Anthrax has no business being grouped with other three of the big four.

Why not? They just weren't nearly as popular and have the weakest discography of the four.

The main problem is just how eighties they sound. To someone who was living in a world where Motley Crue isn't considered a joke by a large portion of the population, wouldn't Anthrax seem like a godsend?

So you're saying Anthrax>Motley Crue?

I guess I could agree with that. But early Motley Crue is good cheesy metal.

I could never listen to Motley Crue for recreation. Anthrax is much better than them, but I would say Anthrax is the weakest of the big four because of their lack of consistency.
