Why are these bands considered the "big 4" of thrash?
Slayer is the only one that stayed thrash. Calling Metallica a thrash band nowadays is laughable. Megadeth strayed but came back to their roots.
Why the fuck isn't Exodus recognized as one of the premier thrash bands? Also Kreator? Fuck off with this Metallica and Anthrax shit.

Havent listened to any of them, but Slayer is better.
>hasn't listened to a band
>believes he knows one is better than the other
how would you know slayer is better if you haven't listened to any of them?
Exodus, Kreator, Testament, ... all have good albums, but none of them ever had a groundbreaking album, or even a great albums that were both critically acclaimed, sold well or were fan favorites.
Also they lack some universal appeal originality/some gimmick sound that would have sold more concert tickets. That's pretty much the reason why.
You may argue that thisandthat band is great and thisandthat album is a masterpiece but, that's like your opinion, man and the numbers just don't back up the claim for being great.
Bonded by Blood by Exodus actually fits your criteria though.
Exodus were like fringe Big 4. Depending on who you ask they actually were one of the 4 biggest bands
Bonded By Blood was groundbreaking. Slayer admitted that it was opening for Exodus in 1983 that they decided to stop wearing make-up on stage and play full thrash metal. Their bootlegs were spread all over the world and you had bands like Kreator ripping them off when Exodus was still struggling to get their record out due to contractual bullshit.
