Sure, Ron's the best, although only Watchtower might qualify as thrash.  I guess you could say there's a thrashy element to S.A. Slayer, too, although that hardly bares the mark of Jarz.  Manilla Road is not too thrashy, either, although they kinda almost got there with The Deluge.  Some other cool technical thrash…

How about some melodic thrash?  At the end of the first thrash boom, there were a bunch of great bands with frontmen who could sing the shit out of some shit, and who were usually backed by some of the best musicians, to boot.  A list:

Great score by Herbie Hancock, too.

That Fontanelle disc is great, but if you're listening to that and NOT listening to jazz of the Bitches Brew/Sextant variety, well, that's kind of like listening to Witchcraft without listening to Sabbath.  Vitamin F is awesome, but it's a straight up copy of what Miles and Herbie were doing from about 1970 to 1974.

Yes!  The Jags were awesome, like a band of happy Joe Jacksons without pianos.  Their "Best Of The Jags" actually contains all the tracks from their two albums.
