Megadeth

Because now Metallica is ho-hum. But I like them both.

Megadeth for a consistency of good albums, faster song, more complex songs, much more aggressive and intense songs, more technical solos and harder riffs, and of course, multi-genre influences that worked out very well. Metallica is an overrated crappy band.

For Megadeth, I like Rust In Peace the most, and Risk the least.

For Metallica, I like Ride The Lightning the most, and St. Anger and/or Lulu the least.

@f: here's a challenge: Name 'Em All. Because the only thrash bands I've found better than Megadeth are Kreator, Sodom, Destruction and possibly Exodus. Four, not a hundred.

In fact, if I were to make a top ten list of thrash metal bands Megadeth would be in the top five, while Metallica won't be near the list.

I prefer Metallica

Best / Worst album

Metallica

Ride The Lightning / ReLoad

Megadeth

Rust In Peace / Risk

Megadeth- Dave has consistently released challenging, intelligent, quality material and is still at the top of his game. Metallica in the '80's was my favorite band, but now I think James should either break up the band or replace Kirk. Metallica has lost it; there's nothing left.

Megadeth euthanasia is the bomb!! The guitar riffs are awesome!! i do like metallica but the same and if i had to pick one of their albums, metallica metallica

Metallica. Because they were an epic band, and are a good band now, while Megadeth was a sucking band, and is still one, and will always be.

Metallica's first 2 albums > all Megadeth

Neither are extraordinary or anything though, I respect both bands for their contribution and influence in metal, but eh... there are hundreds of better thrash bands.

Metallica all the way. I love all their albums. Megadeth..idk I just don't really like them :/

Megadeth by far, Metallica is overrated crap

Metallica cause their 80s stuff is timeless
