If you wanna explore outside Slayer & Exodes Heres few you should try:

Vio-lence, Dark Angel, Heathen, Explict Hate, Evildead, Sacrifice, Razor, Toxik, Exumer, Living Death, Tankard,Dorsal Atlantica, Acid Reign, Exciter, Mutilator, Violator, Slammer, Mantic Ritual & Gama Bomb.

And if you havent heard most well known like Testament, Sepultura, Sodom & Kreator etc, you should give them a try

You can get started by these

Oh yeah the top five is quite impossibl to say but lately Kreator, Vio-Lence, Nuclear Assault & Exodus have been kickin the shit out of me.

E: And finnish thrash legend Stone ofc

Depends on what you mean by great.

IMO, quality and tru-ness are more important than quantity and popularity.
