1. It took metal to the extreme. 80s thrash bands took heavy metal and upped the ante, so we can say thrash is a bridge between Melodic and Extreme metal.
2. It is the base of Death and Black metal, two of the most important genres. Imagine we have Death or Black metal but there's no thrash. Impossible.
3. Thrashy riffs are used in almost every metal genres. I can thrashy riffs even in Ensiferum!
4. Thrash has some of the best metal bands in the world. The 6 most popular bands on MS have 3 thrash bands in them.
So...Do you agree?

I'm not denying the fact that death metal been influenced from thrash but what my point is, it is just not thrash metal. It came from early black metal as well. You really can't put a stamp of evolution of death metal solely on the basis of thrash metal.

I think as important as thrash if not more so is the progressive rock scene of the 70s and 80s. Led zeppelin, rush to name a few. The progressive influences are largely what keeps some genres interesting to me. I would also say the British heavy metal scene of the late 70s and early 80s was also critical. Quite honestly I hear more maiden like riffs even in black metal then I do Metallica or exodus. Indeed I hear a lot of maiden a priest in many thrash bands and not the other way around.

I would have to say classic metal/nwobm would have to be the most important. All other genres were born out of that.
