| I didn't include NWOBHM, because it's pretty much the same thing as Traditional Heavy Metal, and I didn't include Proto-Metal, because it isn't really a genre. |

I went for Thrash. Metalcore and Progressive were also considered though. I'm not big on Black, Symphonic, Gothic, Glam or Folk metal.... but everything else I'll take at least a bit of. -------------  My Blog: http://kingcrimsonprog.wordpress.com/ |

I hesitated a bit and eventually plumped for doom metal. If Sabbath are alllowed to count as doom (since proto-metal isn't on the table), then doom metal without hesitation. |

| I used to be really big on thrash and death metal, but then took an interest in power and progressive metal, and my tastes have mellowed so much since then that I don't think I can even say metal is my favorite genre, let alone pick one of the subgenres. I still have yet to get into many of those listed, though. |

After searching and going through various metal and non-metal phases I have returned to my first true love death metal (well that was actually Bon Jovi, but still). ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

| Anyways, as for me, Black Metal is my absolute favourite with Prog Metal coming in at a close second place. I also have great love for Death Metal and Thrash Metal. Folk Metal, Power Metal, Trad. Heavy Metal and Hard Rock are all absolutely fucking awesome. I hate most Metalcore and Glam Metal, but there are some exceptions to the rule. I'm personally not to big on Gothic Metal or Avant-Garde Metal, the rest I like. |

I can't decide. On the one hand I love prog metal like Opeth but dislike DT and other vanilla acts. I love death metal and post/sludge too. And post-black.... and some doom too. Daaaamn ------------- http://shrineofllyria.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow - http://shrineofllyria.blogspot.com/ |

I prefer the only true metal genres: glam metal, metalcore and nu metal.

I honestly can't pick just one. I can give a top four: Prog, Power, Folk & Symphonic. Death and Black coming in just after. Death metal may crack the top four eventually. I bought more death metal albums in the last year than I have done in the whole time I've been listening to metal. To cut a long story short, no vote, for now at least. ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

That wasn't that bad a list actually, but since when was Punk and Hardcore part of metal?

Hardcore and punk history is intertwined with metal history. A lot of the early thrash bands were inspired by crust punk and hardcore and some NWoBHM bands were also influenced by punk back then, so I think the inclusion of punk acts is valid.

| Power. By miles, even though I love symphonic and prog a lot as well, along with some melodic death, thrash, trad, folk and gothic. |

Although it doesn't appear, the genre I enjoy most is Neoclassical Metal. I usually listen to Power, Progressive and Symphonic Metal. However, I almost always listen to Instrumental Metal artists/bands. ------------- Rely on nothing under heaven. |

Neoclassical is usually placed under power, prog, or traditional on the site as far as I can remember. Varies by band. |

Thrash! /o  It is easier to say what I do not like / I do not have habit of listening: death metal (if prog death metal, all right), black metal (I hate), metalcore (  ) and grindcore. The rest I listen to everything. |

Hard to choose just one, I love progressive metal but also traditional heavy metal and traditional doom (clean vocals, obviously inspired by Black Sabbath - bands like Solitude Aeternus, Candlemass, Cathedral,Trouble, Count Raven to name a few). Also some thrash as well, a little power metal; some hard rock, both from 70s (some of it can be classified as proto-metal) and the 80s. I won't vote for now, although I am tempted to choose progressive metal. :) |

Four or five favourites I could have chosen (although I listen to pretty much all sub-genres) but I've plumped for sludge. |

Death Metal for me, though closely followed by Black Metal. |

I can't really choose one, It really just depends on my mood. All I can say is that Glam and Grind are my two least favorites, even though I do like some Glam and Grind bands. ------------- If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme |

Now that I think about it, for me it's probably a tie between thrash and industrial. ------------- If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme |
