Great 80's Thrash Albums

municipal waste
Bonded by Blood


check them 2 out new thrash hey Exodus always puts out some good stuff also
Napalm Death
napalm puts out some killer stuff new stuff with vocals that are aggressive give them a chance i think any thrasher will their newer stuff!
 
Warbringer, Evile, Toxic Holocaust, Municipal Waste..

Municipal Waste has good stuff....I'm more of a crossover fan

Cross Contamination (x contamination on myspace) is good too!

Although not trash by any means, they have a pretty good cover of "trapped under ice" (metallica) that it's just brutal!
They are called "Austrian Death Machine" and play mostly hardcore metal. Oh and BTW, the name comes from Agh!nold schwarzenegger...:ninja:
 
Good pics already, I'll try and come up with stuff I haven't seen listed yet (and apologize if it was):

Death Angel (The Ultraviolence was hugely influential on the genre, and I think their newer stuff is actually still kickin, though maybe not thrash)
Nuclear Assault (classic Headbangers Ball video action, and Dan Lilker is still rockin with other bands)
Overkill (I used to have the "we don't care what you say..." T-shirt)
Artillery
Anyone remember Realm? They might have been considered more speed metal...hard to say
 
Oh man, where do I start? Right here!:

Helloween - Helloween, Walls of Jericho
Exciter - Violence and Force, Long Live the Loud
Slayer - Show No Mercy, Hell Awaits, Reign in Blood
Grave Digger - Heavy Metal Breakdown, Witch Hunter
Metallica - Kill 'Em All, Lightning, Master of Puppets
Anthrax - Fistful of Metal
Motorhead - Another Perfect Day (not really thrash, but good stuff nonetheless)
Destruction - Sentence of Death
Hallows Eve - Tales of Terror

Not to highjack the thread, but if any of you can recommend some newer stuff that is similar to the "classic thrash" let me know (pm me or something). Death metal vocal excluded please.

Exodus put out "Shovel Headed Kill Machine" a few years ago. It was a great album, my favorite since "Bonded by Blood". Paul Bostaph (Forbidden, Slayer, Testament) on drums. It was a new line up for the band and it has a old school vibe, the vocals are a little "death metal" though...

I'm sure that there is a lot more classic thrash bands that didn't make the list that would be new to you.

Trouble
Rigor Mortis
Nuclear Assault
Mordred (more funk based thrash)
The Organization (post Death Angel in the early 90's)
Hades - If At First You Don't Succeed (1988)

Here is a couple of useful links that I just found:
