So big that even Lawrence Welk would envy it.

Not as big as other people's, but not too minuscule either - especially if we include hard rock, grunge, alternative and such. For metal, as for prog, we tend to get stuff we are bound to like, so our collection will never be as enormous as some other people's.

Not too big either. I won't buy stuff just for collection's sake. Everything is for listening purposes only, no matter if it's a tape limited to 50 handnumbered copies. Includes other than metal releases too, of course: http://rateyourmusic.com/~skaven

Well my CD collection is at around 800 and something albums at the moment and I'd guess three quaters of those are Metal albums.

I'd say about 60-70% of my music is metal or hard rock-related in some way.

I have no idea - probably in thousands if I ever bothered count them. I tend to be a competist for many metal bands (Anathema, Paradise Lost, Opeth, Katatonia, Pain Of Salvation, My Dying Bride, Type O Negative, Moonspell, Sentenced, Limbonic Art, Emperor, Theatre of Tragedy, The Gathering, Nightwish, Craddle Of Filth, Savatage, John Oliva's Pain, Trans Siberian Orchestra, Tool) and cherry-pick the major part of the discographies from many more (Celtic Frost, Metalica, Megadeth, Nevermore, Morbid Angel, Cathedral, Threshold, Dream Theater, Orphaned Land, Ironing Maiden, Darkthrone, Mayhem, Neurosis/Tribes of Neurot...)

It looks as though I have about 600 CDs that I have labelled as Heavy Metal.  That doesn't include albums that are included in either the alternative or progressive categories.  Most of it is 70's/80's/90's metal however.  Any new metal is most likely from the traditional prog metal category.

I'd say a few hundred albums, I've never counted them per genre. somewhere between 200-400 I'd say.

I have about 450 albums and I'd say 200- 250 are metal, most of which are prog metal, but I do branch out slightly.

My "pure/tr00" metal collection is pretty small, specially when compared with my prog collection. It would be around 15/20 albums top. But if you include my progmetal collection the number sharply grows to over 250/300 albums.
