Anthrax

 

[The Flash]

Dire Straits

 

[Perun]

Phew. I like Dire Straits, but I have to go with Anthrax.

 

[Crimson Idol]

I enjoy both, but I think Dire Straits songs are a bit more to my taste and there's more songs I hold in high regard, after a while most thrash begins to sounds the same to me.

[MrKnickerbocker]

Anthrax, if only for the John Bush era.

I like both, but I'm more familiar with Anthrax.

I would assume so, what with everyone being Caught In A you and all.

 

[Mosh]

Right, that makes them extra special. Dire Straits never wrote a theme song for me.

 

[Detective Beauregard]

Dire Straights because I've never cared for Bacillus anthracis.
