Motorhead were around looooong before thrash was even dreamt up. They were highly influential on a lot of the thrash bands and certainly played fast (speed metal) but no they shouldn`t be in this list.

Exodus... then again I don't listen to thrash metal that much

That`s probably the only reason why you voted for them. As most of the other bands on the list have better discographies.

Ahah, I know. I like their first 2 albums but I never really listened to their later stuff

Exodus I saw them in concert a while back they were pretty insane

Kreator

This thread needs bumping:D

I love Shovel Headed Kill Machine.

I love Kreator. I voted for them.

Another band to include is a band called, "Razor"

Awesome speed/thrash. You didn't have that so I voted for the second best.

Morbid Saint is pretty ****ing awesome. Albeit, it's impossible to put them on a list when they released one album, and it was ****ed over by improper release.

Still though, they're like an even faster more viscous, intense, visceral Slayer. Sure, bands have topped Slayer ten times over since, but they were around the same time period.
