	I see someone didn't like my poll Had to go for thrash. All extreme genres (even doom and sludge) have thrash elements, and when I think of a standard metal band, I think thrash. Almost picked death, but I'm biased towards that anyway. Sure, everything ultimately came from traditional heavy metal, but the first of anything rarely becomes the standard example, IMO.
	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.

	Obviously I LOVE prog metal and some of it can be really damn metal! But in spirit....yeah deff not the most metal. Especially since us prog metallers are in the minority. This is a tough one. I guess the MOST METAL genre has to be traditional metal. Sounds silly but they did invent it I mean they were the original metal, how can you be more metal!? Most metal guitarists owe it to Iommi so yeah...traditional gets my vote. Thrash is a close second. Due to it's obvious metal-ness but also since it grew from NWoBHM (which is traditional!)and was an attempt to keep metal "pure". Not like all that artsy pretentious prog rock crap that was popular by the late 70's Edited by The Angry Scotsman - 02 Feb 2011 at 12:01am
	Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Testament. The real Big Four of thrash metal! Listen to doom metal, worship Satan

	Don't you love how arbitrary this question is? In response to the eternally negative "least metal" poll, I made the significantly more positve "MOST METAL" poll. So, which metal genre do you think is most metal? I went with thrash.
