"RideThe Lightning" is definately Metallica's best album, "Master of Pupets" is a weak record that I'd hardly call thrash, "Battery" is probably the most thrashy part of it...

You're crazy if you think it was the second best thrash album of 1986, there was a hell of a lot of good thrash releases then, even more if you count "Spreading the Dissease", "Feel the Fire" and "Bonded by Blood", which were all 1985.

Kreator - Pleasure to Kill
Megadeth- Peace Sells
Slayer - Reign in Blood
Dark Angel - Darkness Descends
Sodom - Obsessed by Cruelty
Destruction - Eternal Devastation
Possessed - Beyond the Gates
Sepultura - Morbid Visions
hell even
Metal Church's "The Dark" is a hell of a lot better then MOP.

By 1986 you had shit like Celtic Frost, Bulldozer and Bathory who at that time were considered thrash comming onto the scene. By MOP Metallica was in decline, all the intensity is gone from their music.

Anyway but you're not going to please everyone, just bare in mind that there are a lot better thrash bands then Metallica around.

edit: typos

Storm Rider:
Scytale's list is good but missing a whole lot of Testament.

But then again, their debut album was '87, so I might forgive him because it's not technically in the timeframe.

Edited for blindness.

Hat:
(That is actually another guy, dude.)


Also for me, the reason I like Master of Puppets is that it showed that Metallica WEREN'T just a thrash band, and reminds me that at one point they were capable of slowing it down a bit without being utter shit.

Then again I am not that big on thrash, and have massive boners for Cliffs bass tone in Orion.

Gryff:
Considering it's Time magazine, I think it looks alright. Basically everything you'd expect is in there. In fact it's probably better than Rolling Stone or Q's efforts at the same kinds of list. If you're going to bitch because your personal favourite albums are not on it then I don't really know what to say to you. It's Time magazine. It's a top 100 list. Woooooo.

Thrillho:
Christ, much better than I expected it to be. But then, I should by now know better than to try and analyse these things. At least Straight Outta Compton was on it.
