80's Thrash Metal Bands RANKED (Based ONLY on 80's Albums)

Today we are revisiting and expanding our ranking of classic 80's thrash metal bands, but with a twist: this time their tiers will ONLY reflect their 80's album output and not any modern records or the GODLESS thrash era that was the 90's. Will Metallica find itself back on top? Where does Megadeth fit in all of this? Will Slayer still hold strong? And what of the divisive Anthrax? All of this and more from the likes of Kreator, Sodom, Destruction, Testament, Voivod, etc.
