Top 10 favourite thrash albums

[MetalDeth93]

What are your top 10 favourite thrash albums?

Mine are:
1. Rust In Peace (Megadeth)
2. Peace Sells ...But Who's Buying? (Megadeth)
3. Master of Puppets (Metallica)
4. Kill 'Em All (Metallica)
5. Fabulous Disaster (Exodus)
6. Raining Blood (Slayer)
7. Years of Decay (Overkill)
8. Among The Living (Anthrax)
9. Seasons in the Abyss (Slayer)
10. Never, Neverland (Annihilator)

 

[Wyvern]

Feels like deja-vu, anyway, more or less in order:

1. Coroner - "Mental Vortex"
2. Testament - "Low"
3. Megadeth - "Rust In Piece"
4. Metallica - "Master Of Puppets"
5. Death Angel - "The Art Of Dying"
6. Heathen - "The Evolution Of Chaos"
7. Abandoned - "Thrash You"
8. Intruder - "A Higher Form Of Killing"
9. Znöwhite - "Act Of God"
10. Killers - "A L'Ombre Des Vautours"

Of course for me at least 4 Coroner albums should be there, so I tried to diversify a little. And I had to let go Anthrax, Zoetrope, Brute Force, Blatant Disarray, Savage Messiah, Urto, Horcas, Nasty Savage, Forte, Atrophy, Toxic, Forbidden, Maninnya Blade/Hexenhaus, Heretic, Darkness, Dark Angel,Sodom, Kreator, (three which I'm not much of a fan) as well as bands like Hirax, Exciter, Acid, Pariah, Suicidal Tendencies, Hellhound, Venom which are not pure thrash, and many more.

Killers last effort (2008) comes as the most thrashy for a band well know to dwell in the speed metal realm. In anycase is a wild card and I can replace it with Anthrax - "State Of Euphoria" (and then maybe not since Killers is heavier).

Souls of Black was so badXD but hell yeae to your exciter and exodus!

Personally it was my favorite Testament album, though I really liked Low too. I'm not hugely into thrash so obviously my list is going to be quite different from the die-hards.
