Silver, gold, platinum for me.
I tend to like only a handful in each of the sub-genres, and I listen to whatever I'm in the mood for that particular moment/day. There's also bands like GWAR that flip-flop from album to album, and are just plain hard to label at any given time.

Death Metal. Specifically, Melodic Death Metal. I also listen to Black, Folk and Pagan Metal. I'm going to see Cradle of Filth and The Agonist next month. \m/
I voted Pokemon, because I'm in the same camp as both of these people.
So, yay.

Grunge is metal? Ok then.
I'm probably with this guy, but it's close. I love metal, but I'm fairly picky, and there's a lot of shitty metalcore that I really dislike. As for my favourite band, it's a dead heat between Anthrax, Mastodon, Lamb of God, Machine Head and Parkway Drive.Kenbo Slice said:
I agree with this guy too (although I did say metalcore, and I'm sure people would disagree with me on that being metal, but I'd definitely consider metalcore along the lines of modern Killswitch Engage or Parkway Drive as metal, whereas stuff like Every Time I Die I consider more to be punk).KefkaCultist said:
Wait, you have nu-metal, grunge and pagan metal, but you don't have power metal, doom metal, progressive metal, heavy metal, or viking metal? Okay then.
Anyway, if I were to play favorites with my metal genres, I would probably have to pick doom metal, simply because, of the doom I've listened to, it has the highest percentage of stuff I really like. Although progressive metal, death metal, black metal, and power metal are all really close.
Favorite bands, for doom metal, My Dying Bride, Reverend Bizarre, and Ea.
For progressive metal, Devin Townsend and Ayreon.
For death metal, Gorguts, Strapping Young Lad, The Project Hate, and Septic Flesh.
For black metal, Summoning, ...And Oceans, and Burzum.
And finally, for power metal, Blind Guardian, Aquaria, and After Forever.
Wow, that ended up being a lot of stuff. I guess that tends to happen when I post in metal threads.

Symphonic/Neo-Classical and Doom metal is amazing but my favorite has to be thrash.
I consider Kill Em All and Peace Sells...But Who's Buying are some of the best metal albums to come out during the 80's and some of the best straight forward metal albums in general.

Death metal would be my absolute favourite (though I am not a fan of either Behemoth or Meshuggah). Wait, is Meshuggah even death metal? I've never heard their music, but I have never seen anyone link them to death metal. I heard they're djent, or some such. Anyways, as far as death metal goes, I tend to lean more toward the old school stuff. Morbid Angel, Obituary, Entombed and so on. I could list loads. Old school death metal isn't exclusive for me though. I do like some technical death metal, like Nile and Suffocation. Also, for the record OP, Amon Amarth is also death metal. Not pagan metal.
A very close favourite would be epic doom metal. Solstice, DoomSword, Scald, Candlemass, Atlantean Kodex etc. Very good stuff indeed. So yeah, death metal closely followed by epic doom is my favourite stuff. I tend to bounce around most metal genres though.

I am sorry, but where my classic heavy metal at? You know, like Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Mercyful Fate, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Angel Witch, Diamond Head, Accept, Armored Saint, Manowar, Queensryche, Saxon, Scorpions, Raven, Warlock, Def Leppard, Alice Cooper, Trust, Budgie, Buffalo, or Blue Oyster Cult? Anybody remember those guys? Or hell, even important derivatives of the style, like doom, hair, and stoner metal? Leaving off a number of significant genres there...
I don't know much about genre labels. I like Iron Maiden, Manowar, Metallica, Megadeth & Iced Earth.
Uh, I voted death metal, but on your poll there, Meshuggah isn't death metal, and Amon Amarth is. AA certainly isn't "pagan", it's like melodeath, and Meshuggah is prog, which should probably be a seperate poll option... Nitpicks?
