Fave 80's Thrash Album

[Tbass17]

List your fave thrash albums made in the classic era of the 80's A time when metal ruled the airwaves anwd many a classic was recorded!!I'm just interested to see what everyone is into really =)

For me:
Slayer - Reign In Blood
Metallica - Ride The Lightning

I know these are both 'commercial' but they are also the two CDs that introduced me not only to these two bands but to thrash as a whole!

 

[Death Animal]

For me:
Metallica-M.O.P
Exodus-Bounded by blood
Sodom-agent orange
Testament-Legacy
They are my favorite for now.

 

[Bryant]

Metallica - AJFA
Metallica - MOP
Metal Church - Blessing in Disguise (half thrash and half power-metal but close enough)
Testament - Practice WHat You Preach


The early 90's (especially 1992) was my fave thrash "era" but those kick ass releases were all from the 80's.
