:banger: I agree more, but there is a few other bands that need to be
recognized, I am mentioning early thrash.

Pleasure to Kill by Kreator

Darkness Descends by Dark Angel

Bonded by Blood by Exodus

Black Metal by Venom

Beneath the Remains by Sepultura

Iced Earth - Iced Earth - 1991. Hard to classify these guys... but they've got a lot of thrash in them. I picked their debut album because I am not sure their influence is found in one album but more of the tireless dedication of Jon Schaffer.
:banger: Dark Angel
:banger:Sepultura

Oh, and while I'm at it, it's tough to forget to mention:

Tool - Undertow - 1995. This could be mentioned in my progressive rock post just the same, but it's undeniable that this album sparked one of the biggest and most fanatically loyal followings in rock/metal today. Tool and Maynard fans can be snobbishly elitist, but they certainly love their music and an entire new generation of musicians is already beginning to hit the stage influenced heavily by this band.

Gotta second this one. Actually just Maynard in general. Love his side projects as well. Perfect Circle is great, as was Tapeworm (He and Reznor). Talk about an amazing vocalist and incredible talent. I can put my tool mp3 disk in, and listen to every album straight through without stopping, then repeat. Never gets old. Just listened to Parabol as I pulled into my garage :biggrin:
