Reign in Blood is often considered the definitive thrash metal album. It might be one of the 10 most influential albums of all time really. Really how thrash is defined is dependant on what vein of thrash you are talking about. Master of Puppets style is sort of middle of road with Motorhead and Anthrax doing the more punk influenced and Slayer doing the more extreme route...

Motorhead's Overkill and Anthrax's Among the Living are very close runners-up.

I'm not sure I'd really call Overkill a thrash album, but then again it was extremely influential and started introducing elements of thrash... I guess it's all how we like to look at it.

Slayer were actually punk influenced too, they just influenced the more heavier bands.

They were all punk influenced obviously. It's a big part of the riffing style that defines thrash.

I actually prefer Ride The Lightning over Master of Puppets.Puppets is still an amazing album though and its impossible to deny it's importance to thrash metal.Some more of my favorite thrash albums include, Chaos A.D., Rust in Peace, and Cowboys From Hell.

I could never really get into Sepultura even after the album Roots. Rust in Peace is a masterpiece of thrash imo and I'm definitely in love with it. Hangar 18 and Holy Wars... The Punishment Due are just killer songs. Far Beyond Driven is my favourite Pantera album, but I love all the albums after and including Cowboys From Hell. I haven't checked out their older stuff though.

My favorite thrash albums are probably:
1) Screams and Whispers - Anacrusis
2) Rust in Peace - Megadeth
3) Master of Puppets - Metallica
4) Horrorscope - Overkill
5) Forbidden Evil - Forbidden
