Eh, you're the one that made the claim, and going off topic obviously didn't stop you before. We're the only ones debating. So, in otherwords, I was right, and there's nothing "factual" about it, other than what you want to believe.

OK, here I go again. Back to the original topic. I'm not gonna say this again so listen up please.
Slayer - Excellent albums
Megadeth - Excellent albumsSlayer - Reign in Blood. The best album out of both artists.
Megadeth - Rust in Peace and Peace Sells... But Who's Buyin'. Great albums but not as good as Reign in Blood.
Slayer - All other releases. Great, but none were as good as Rust in Peace or Peace Sells... But Who's Buyin'.
Megadeth - All other releases. Definitely had a few good ones. They don't match up to the above mentioned other Slayer releases though.Results (the numbers are just meant as visualizations, no NASA level accuracy here):
Slayer (RIB) +10
Megadeth (RIP & PSBWB) +7 +7 (+14 total for the slow ones)
Slayer (Other) +10
Megadeth (Other) +6That's basically it. Slayer (+20). Megadeth (+20). There ya go. Equally good discographies. Enjoy.
It's all opinion, anyway, and public opinion will show that Slayer's albums are better by a long shot. Lumping all their albums other than "Reign in Blood", and giving them a collective 10 is ****ing disrespectful to say the least.
Anycrap, I'm through. Some people can't let go of their bias long enough to see what's painfully obvious to pretty much every heavy metal fan in the free world. I'm sure you'll say the same, but as this thread has shown, everyone's a member of the Slaytanic army.
First of all, I did retract my original statement...
>_>
Anyway, opinions are whatever people want them to be. It doesn't matter to me that you all think Slayer is best. I listened to Slayer with an open mind and I didn't enjoy it. I can respect their musicianship but I would much rather listen to Megadeth than Slayer anyday.
BTW putting all the other Slayer releases at 10 isn't disgraceful. I was just watering it down to keep it simple. Hint hint "no NASA level accuracy here". Whoopsie!
Oh, and I'm glad you're through nit picking at every ****ing thing I said here. Makes things easier for me.
Enjoy listening to your Slayer. Peace.

Yeah. So if I were to say The Beatles' "Abbey Road" was a 10, and the rest of their albums were 10 collectively, just to "water it down", of course, that's not discounting their works. Notice that you went as far as to rate two Megadeth albums to prove your point in your biased opinion.
Real fair logic, there. 🙄
But yeah..I'm done. Majority rules, opinion or not.

If none of my insight is going to be taken seriously here, then I have no reason to continue debating this music.
Enjoy the takeover of pop music. It's gonna happen if close-mindedness keeps hold over your souls.
Honestly, I was impressed by most of you guys at first. Checking around the forums, I realized you all had taste. Damn good taste at that.
A few of you downright shocked me. One of you, you know who you are, said that Joey Jordison was good but overrated despite his preference of Slipknot. I can't ever recall hearing that from a hard-core Slipknot fan.
Unfortunately, my input doesn't seem to matter at all. I'm just walking into a brick wall of standards. If my opinion doesn't count, what does? Yours? Then what do you have? Conformity. Dull, useless conformity.
You say that it's all opinion anyway, yet you drive my opinion into the ground. Does that mean that majority will always rule and never allow diversity? That's too bad. Now I have to say goodbye because I haven't conformed to the rest of society and should be removed.
Bye. Always rock out. 🤘

I respect your decision, it's your logic that baffles me. There's just too many outstanding factors for me to take what you say seriously. I admire your tenacity, I really do, but it's all for not in the end. I certainly hope you weren't referring to ME as closeminded, not that anyone's presented themselves as such here, other than yourself by way of your logic, which you may or may not have noticed in the process.
Like I said, your opinion is heard, but when you present too many things as fact, by way of letting your bias speak for you, ignoring common knowledge, that's when it loses validity.
I've gotten waaaaaaay too philosophical for such a silly thread. I think everyone knows where I stand.
