Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want.

Though in all honesty some progressive metal isn't nearly as "metal" as most other metal genres. |

I'm going with death metal for it's brutality. Trad metal has a case in it's genre name alone, and many of those bands are what most "mainstreamers" would think of when they hear the term metal (Sabbath, Priest, Maiden, etc.). Metallica is a significant exception, but their name helps with the association or serves as irony depending on your POV.

It would seem, methinks, that people here just voted for their favorite *coughcoughprogmetalcough*

^That's true. Granted, there are a lot of borderline cases with industrial, glam, metalcore, proto (duh), alternative, and grind IMO. However, there is no way that you can argue that black, death, doom, power, thrash, and heavy metal aren't metal, so in that sense I agree with you.

...But you could say death metal is more metal than glam, though some would dissagree. |

They're all metal... picking a "least" metal was a bit easier, but saying that one metal subgenre is "more metal" than another metal subgenre seems silly IMO. So no vote from me.

I'd have to go with traditional metal, since that is what started metal, besides proto-metal. Close second was death metal, and then there was prog, which sometimes can be very not metal, but most of the time it is very metal!

Here's the real question
Is prog metal derived from metal, or prog rock? (I like to take to the easy road and say both)! A bridge between the two. |
|||
Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Testament. The real Big Four of thrash metal!
Listen to doom metal, worship Satan |

I dared to vote for Progressive Metal because most of the genres and style above have some punk in them including New Wave of British Heavy Metal. However,old school Progressive Metal such as early Fates Warning, Watchtower, Mekong Delta, or Abraxas. As far as I know, Motorhead began fusing Metal with punk. When there is a New Wave of British Heavy Metal then there must also be an Old Wave of British Heavy Metal. Proto-Metal, Hardrock, Doom Metal, and Progressive Metal/Hardrock were mostly the styles in the 70s.
Progressive, Neo-classical metal, and doom metal are for me the most metal of the genres, because it is pure metal which depends on the guitars. Metal is guitar oriented music like Flamenco is guitar based music. The metal that depends on the guitars most is the most metal. The heaviness and loudness does not determine if the song is more metal or not.
This is from the musical point of view. In Progressive Metal the guitars are the most important instruments while the other instruments are secondary. Even the vocals don't play a huge role.
I would say the most metallic is progressive thrash metal.
Aggression and brutality in metal comes from punk/hardcore. Metal without punk is not aggressive and dirty, but the focus is on technicality of the guitar play. Edited by goskoski - 02 Feb 2011 at 5:52pm |

NWoBHM. No Question.
It encompasses the roots of every single genre that now exists, from the black metal of Venom, the speed metal of Vardis and Jaguar, tech metal of diamond Head and Raven to the squeaky clean pop metal of Def Leppard, with the traditions of Iron Maiden, the close ties with punk in Motorhead and (oft-overlooked) Saxon running through the middle like a core of steel.
NWoBHM is everything - it's not a style or genre. It went beyond embryo - it embraces egg, chick, fledgeling and parent bird. The Eagle Landed And Took Off Again.
Or some such.
That's what I voted, anyway.
