Mustaine can thrash better than most, but he's a bit of a dick at least that's what I've thought for as long as I can remember.
it pisses me off that Metallica gets talked about more, Mustaine has more talent in his fingernails than that entire band. Yeah, he's hard to work with I hear, but most of the talented ones are.

I'd say that Metallica is probably more appeasing to popular culture than Megadeth is. That's probably not even the right way to say it, they're more pop than Megadeth.. Do you know what I mean?
Ulrich is a bigger dick IMO, but I like Metallica more than Megadeth.

In the USA East of the Mississippi category, Team Phlegmp3 selects country artist and West Virginian, Brad Paisley.
Quote:
Contemporary country singer/songwriter Brad Paisley was born October 28, 1972, in Glen Dale, WV; given his first guitar at age eight, he delivered his first public performance at church two years later. With his 50-something guitar teacher Clarence "Hank" Goddard and two of the older man's seasoned musician buddies, the teenaged Paisley formed his first band, the C-Notes, and at age 12 began writing his own material. After performing in front of the local Rotary Club, he was invited to appear on Wheeling station WWVA's famed Saturday night broadcast Jamboree USA. Paisley's debut was so well received that he was invited to join the program full-time, and in the years to follow he opened for the likes of the Judds, Roy Clark, and Little Jimmy Dickens. He later attended Nashville's Belmont University, serving an internship with ASCAP; the contacts Paisley made there helped him land a songwriting deal with EMI, and he also appeared on countless demos.
Got the chance to see him when he was in town this past September, and man what a show! If my guitarist category wasn't already filled, he'd be a great pick.

With our 12th round pick, #242 overall, team AliceLoveGarden is proud to select in the UK category, Supertramp!
Supertramp is a Britishprogressive rock band that had a series of top-selling albums in the 1970s and early 1980s.
Their early music included ambitious concept albums, but they are best known for their later hits including "Dreamer", "Goodbye Stranger", "Give a Little Bit" and "The Logical Song". Supertramp attained superstardom in the United States, Canada, and most of Europe. However, they were not quite as popular in the UK (where most of the band members are actually from). Nonetheless, the album Breakfast in America was still a big hit, reaching number three on the UK charts and featuring two top 10 singles.
Supertramp is, without a doubt, one of my very favorite bands. They had some radio success and most people are familiar with those hits. I love them, but the work of this band goes beyond those radio hits, as is the case with any great artist.
I consider Breakfast in America to be one of the greatest rock albums ever made. It is strong from start to finish. There isn't one weak track. Supertramp's sound is so clean, it's almost like they were meant to be listened to on CD. They used an incredible range of instruments and were not limited to the standard 4 piece rock ensemble in any way.
Here's a sampling of some of my favorite Supertramp tunes...
School (from Crime of the Century) The opening is eerily similar to Morricone's Man with a Harmonica from Once Upon a Time in the West!
Child of Vision (closes Breakfast in America)
Asylum (from Crime of the Century)
Take The Long Way Home (from Breakfast in America)
Fool's Overture (Closes Even In the Quietest Moments)
Crime of the Century

I will pick The Stone Roses in the UK category. One of my favourite bands and I only discovered them last year...I encourage you to listen to the youtube vids.
Quote:
The Stone Roses were an English alternative rock band formed in Manchester in 1984. They were one of the pioneering groups of the Madchester movement that was active during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The band's original lineup consisted of Ian Brown (vocals), John Squire (guitar), Andy Couzens (guitar), Pete Garner (bass) and Alan "Reni" Wren (drums). Couzens and Garner left in 1987. Couzens' position was left vacant and Garner was replaced by Gary "Mani" Mounfield in 1987, and this completed the band's most visible lineup. Reni would depart in 1995 and was replaced by Robbie Maddix, and a year later Squire departed and was replaced by Aziz Ibrahim. Nigel Ippinson joined the band in 1995.
Their 1989 debut album The Stone Roses quickly achieved the status of a classic in the UK, and topped NME's list of the Greatest British Albums of All Time.
