yeah testament - definitely one of the higher profile acts on the list that is undisputably 'thrash'

You know who this list is missing? Hirax. Saw them a couple months ago, absolutely insane live show. The East LA thrash kids were going nuts. I'm kind of glad I was upstairs watching and not in the pit.

I've also been listening to flotsam and jetsam's Doomsday for the Deceiver reissue a whole lot recently. That is a great album.

there is a lot of stuff missing from that list!

Well, obviously. I'd say we should compile a proper list and try again, but the results would probably be the same.

Labels aside, I love Hirax!

The Dirty Rotten 7" came out in 1982, preceding Metallica, Slayer, Overkill, and Mob 47 by a year, at least. "Who Am I" was the first thrash I ever heard. I wouldn't be surprised if Bad Brains or Motorhead recorded songs as fast before DRI, but if so, what were they?

If thrash is just about speed, then the Neos were just as fast as DRI in 1982. I don't think you can point at any one band as say "they invented it".
