This post was inspired by the utterly ridiculous post in Loudwire who played off the Big 4 of thrash by revealing thier picks for the Big 4 of other genres. In some cases they nailed it...in some they failed miserably. Can I do better? Maybe, maybe not but I'm sure as hell gonna give it my best shot.
