Like my other genre-based lists, this exists purely for my own organizational purposes and not to provide a definitive statement about or guidebook to the thrash genre. I've folded some speed metal and other occasional outliers into this list, maybe a few not-so-thrash albums by otherwise-thrash bands, since they're close enough and I wasn't going to make a separate list.

1.Slayer - Reign In Blood

2.Gama Bomb - Citizen Brain

3.Cross Examination - Menace II Sobriety

4.Slayer - Seasons In The Abyss

5.Metallica - Ride The Lightning

I'm bored, so I'm doing this. My technique involves going to the page of every thrash band I've listened to, pulling out their top three albums that I'd rate over 8.5/10 (if there are three) and placing them in the list.

1.Megadeth - Rust In Peace

2.Coroner - No More Color

3.Coroner - Mental Vortex

4.Toxik - Think This

5.Slayer - Reign In Blood
