Classic Thrash Metal Albums

Here's 100 classic thrash metal albums in order by year they were released. No bands were duplicated, each band only got one album even though some have several "classic" albums. If I didn't limit it the list would have been way too long. No demos or splits were included. While the name of this list is "classic thrash" there are some modern thrash albums as well, I guess you can think of these as modern classics. There's some crossover thrash included in the list but I tried to keep things like speed/thrash, death/thrash and black/thrash off the list, except for a few key exceptions.
