Lol I guess so, I would not put Stoner that's for sure.
It's still a very nice list nonetheless

And as for Gwar, I think it's just because I never really considered them Thrash Metal
But they're still awesome

Early CoC were more hardcore, then evolving into a more crossover thrash sound around the Blind era, then to the stoner rock you know them as. Point being, Blind is a more thrash based album than their later stuff, though not as much as their first two.
