I must qualify my vote.
What is "metal" to you, may not be metal to me. Let me explain:
I chose "metal" as my preferred style, but for those of you who don't really know what metal truly is, please read on.
More than any other style of music, the definition and diversity of metal has changed over time and there are now a multitude of metal sub-genres (some of which I can't stand). Further, "metal" has morphed over time; much of what was (at some point) considered heavy metal is now considered hard-rock.
Examples:
Led Zep
Deep Purple
Rush - 2112 was the hardest stuff out there at the time of its release - now it's "classic rock"
Queensryche and a host of 80's "metal" bands are now considered hard rock.
The point:
Don't throw all your "metal" eggs into one "metal" basket.
