Gee Facs, I didn't know that one of the most influential metal bands of the 80s, early 90s wasn't metal. What Majic said about legacy was completely correct because Anthrax have definately influenced more bands than any other group on the list. Rammstein, Garbage? Gimme a break! Spreading the Disease, Persistence of Time, and Among the Living are required reading as far as I'm concerned when it comes to metal. Beladonna-era Thrax is great. The vocals are superb and very unique, the riffing from Spitz and Ian is some of the tightest around and Benante was a MONSTER on drums.
And if a member of the Big 4 isn't metal what the hell does that make R.E.M.?
