What is your favourite Metal genre?
 

Mine is Death Metal

Thrash metal historically, but death metal has been creeping up. Still thrash for the moment though.

Industrial, I just really like how it's basically the best of both worlds in that it's sort of founded in Jamaican dub music just like hip-hop and electronica even though it's metal. After that, I'm down with everything else, I listen to a lot of fairly standard metal like Metallica, Maiden, Motorhead and Megadeth.

Classic metal, then prog, then power, then thrash.

Prog metal followed by power metal, a little doom, a little goth, standard (NWOBHM) and a little thrash.

Should have made this a poll...

You sound like Hitler.

He looks like it too.

Thrash metal. I'm not pleased with the genre today, for a number of reasons. For some reason, thrash metal bands go very hard for the punk-y side of thrash and the death/thrash side, and pretty much no other styles are played. To be fair, the genre was way overexposed in the 80s and every thing has been done. I'd still kill for some prog. thrash (but NOT tech., **** off vektor), but overall, I'm satisfied with what the genre did in '83, and '86-'93.
