Top 5 Megadeth Albums

4. Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good

Killing is my BusinessRecommended Track: Rattlehead, Mustaine's call to arms and one of Thrash Metal's most enduring anthems. Killing is my Business is undoubtedly Megadeth at their most raw and unrefined and yet the importance of this record to the Thrash genre cannot be underestimated. This is intense thrash metal played at break-neck speed back when the genre was still struggling to find its feet. Lacking the precision of later releases, any holes in composition or playing are filled with boundless energy and pure unbridled passion. Dave Mustaine snarls and barks with the fury of someone with much to prove, his eyes set firmly on usurping Metallica as the number 1 Bay Area Thrash Metal band. He needn't have worried, on the strength of this debut no one doubted him for a second!

I love Heavy Metal, and generally anything that involves a guitar and loud noises, so I figured it was about time I put all the useless information in my head to good use and start writing a few things. Most of the time I'll be writing nonsense but occasionally I may surprise myself and appear half-way knowledgable.....but you can be the judge of that. Thanks for your fleeting attention!
