-sodom's persecution mania
-early kreator!!!!
-dark angel's darkness descends, that's the fastest thrash album without using blastbeats a la death metal or grindcore, such an intense album
-coroner's mental vortex
-if you can bear a lot of reverb on the production of an album, get possessed's classic 7 churches
-crossover punk/metal like d.r.i. (dealin' with it, dirty rotten lp), corrosion of conformity (eye for an eye, animosity), cro-mags (age of quarrel, which you can download from their website), prong (primitive origins which i like a lot but most people don't like it because they compare it to the latter stuff they did), die kreuzen (s/t and october file) is the basis if not already speed metal/thrash
-SLAYER SLAYER SLAYER!!! (if you haven't already)
-some people like death angel but i really don't. same with overkill
-early testament has it's moments
-SEPULTURA!!!!!! (beaneath the remains and arise are the basic thrash ones)
-s.o.d.'s ultra offenssive hardcore/metal masterpiece speak english or die
-if you lean towards the european blackened sound, then the basics are venom's first three, bathory's first three and (controversially) both original mercyful fate albums
-suicidal tendencies' join the army (again, punk/metal crossover)
-hellhammer, the band that spawned celtic frost.
-more crossover punk/metal but more on the crusty side of punk: amebix's arise! and nausea's the punk terrorist anthology vol. 1

Thanks man. I already have Slayer, Anthrax, and Hellhammer covered but most of the rest I haven't checked out before.
