With all due respect Mondo, your answer speaks to the absurdity of the question, and the genre as a whole.

Born 1960. Metal was Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Uriah Heep, Moterhead, Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden.

Then punk, new wave, techno, hair bands, etc. decided to jump on the train.

And here we are now.

Question #1: What is "Metal" music?

Question #2: How does your definition of metal work into all of these ridiculous sub genres of the "genre"?

Question #3: Why is Frowny still a mod?

Question #4: Why am I still awake?

Avant-garde death Metal is the best metal genre. I'd say avant-garde metal in general is my favourite but a lot of that is corny as ****.

Thrash Metal as a general rule, (The old stuff). Although, I really like Pirate Metal but since that's such a niche genre I wouldn't say it's my favourite.

Punk laws dictate that he is not allowed to listen to metal because a metalhead bullied Morissey in high school.
