Help: mixing 80s thrash with hair metal

Metal

I'm making a playlist for my dad to play in the locker room/ hanging out with his hockey team. They're mostly elder gen x, and there are mostly metal fans in the group, I know my dad likes all kinds of 80s metal everything from the heaviest thrash metallica to softer stuff like bon Jovi.

I tried making a playlist that mixes the heaviest hair metal with the most radio friendly trash metal, paying attention to how the songs blend into each other.

How'd I do? Are there any songs that especially give you whiplash? Any songs i should move, or take off?
