I know it's a very difficult one.. at least, it is in my case ^^ But most people listen to more than one kind of metal, I'm sure.. The different possibilities are all taken from last.fm.. I don't suppose there's something that isn't in the list, I hope not anyway.. There are some kinds I've really never heard off.. like christian metal, wtf is that? I even came across "hair metal" > please, if someone knows what the hell is meant by that, explain me ;D I told you this is a difficult poll for me, it all depends on my mood. But I'll pick symphonic, cause that's just the kind of metal I can listen at every mood.. I guess..

Hair Metal is stuff like Van Halen and bands like that. The big frizzy hair, girly voices, dancing about, thinking youre the best, that type of American thing.

Motley Crue is another hair metal band if I'm right, feel free to correct me if not. Mmhh ... I'll just tick power metal, even though lately I'm listening to less and less power metal. And about christian metal, it's black metal basically, with christian lyrics. It sucks. And you didn't put NSBM And I'm glad you missed it. Filthy nazis. Nationalist Socialist Black Metal is even worse than Christian Metal.

Yeah, Motley Crue would probably be hair metal. Along with bands like Poison, Skid Row, Hanoi Rocks, Europe... And where's the option for "good metal"?

Dammit, hair metal.. I'm still laughing about it really And Snel, nice description of christian metal ^^ I thought it must have been something like that.. never heard of the nazi thing though.. but that might be for the best Ow and, Metal_leper: I fear you'll have to pick another one.. cause in the end: all metal is good metal (I don't mean this statement )

Hmm, too many choices... Ill have to go with power metal though as so far i know far more bands of that genre than any other (though thats gradually changing . Power metal is often mixed with the other genres i like anyway (symphonic, progressive etc.)

You'd probably chose Power, but im not so sure.
And White Power Rock, thats the Nazi Metal/Rock category, never heard of that NSBM 0_o
And Motley have hints of Hair Metal, but not totally.
Thrash Metal FOR THE WIN!!!

I don't think it's very good with all these alternatives, since many of them actually fit in the same sub-genre, and it would thus be easier to choose one and really be sure it was the right one.
I chose progressive. Why? I consider the progressive music (not just the metal) being the most varied and interesting music nowadays, closely followed by jazz fusion and some other strange stuff.

If You listen to Meshuggah, and especially listen to the bizarre rhythms, that's what math metal is.

I had to put my vote into Folk Metal. I listen to most types of metal but Folk holds a special place in my heart ;D
