I feel like there isn't enough inclusion of Hell Awaits on people's lists, because that is the major milestone in thrash metal for me.

 

[apprentice]

actually Slaughter's Strappado should probably be in there somewhere

No it shouldn't, your list is perfect as it is.
On any other day mine would look a lot like yours, today it is as follows:

1. Kreator - Pleasure to Kill
2. Morbid Saint - Spectrum Of Death
3. Sacrifice - Forward To Termination
4. Slayer - Show No Mercy
5. Exumer - Possessed by Fire
6. Infernal Majesty - None Shall Defy
7. Dark Angel - Darkness Descends
8. Minotaur - Power Of Darkness
9. Sodom - Persecution Mania
10. Destruction - Eternal Devastation

edit: felt really snobbish by ignoring Slayer originally so I included them and added five more, just for the sake of it:

11. Exodus - Bonded By Blood
12. Vio-Lence - Eternal Nightmare
13. Sarcófago - INRI
14. Sepultura - Beneath The Remains
15. Sadus - Illusions (Chemical Exposures)
