Thrash Metal essentials

[Chasm]

I'm not looking for recommedations or anything. I'd just like to know what many people here would consider...let's say the top 10 essential Thrash releases of all time.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Sepultura - Beneath The Remains
Metallica - Ride The Lightning
Slayer - Seasons In The Abyss
Pantera - Cowboys From Hell
Sodom - Agent Orange
Kreator - Pleasure To Kill
Megadeth - Peace Sells...But Who's Buying?
Anthrax - Among The Living
Testament - Practice What You Preach
Machine Head - Burn My Eyes

 

[speed]

Thats a good list Nick

I'd add:

Slayers Reign in Blood, South of HEaven and Hell Awaits
Sepultura's Arise, Schizophrenia
Megadeth's So Far So Good and Rust in Peace
Dark Angel Darkness Descends
Testaments New Order, THe Gathering
Kreator Coma of SOuls
and Machine heads Burn My Eyes- which to me is the last great thrash album, even if it did change the style for the worse.
