Voted for thrash.

When I think of Metal and all that is Good and Holy in metal, I think of Thrash.

It is also the genre that can combine all elements from all genres and still be undeniably METAL, plus it is really the center link to all genres, starting from mellow stuff to the most brutal.

THRASH TILL DEATH.

I must also say that I do not like the term "Traditional Metal". I prefer Heavy Metal.

I hate that term too. I'd just use heavy metal, but people get a bit confused cos it's too vague a term now.

I voted thrash. An argument can be made for all other forms of extreme metal, bar grindcore and doom, spawning from thrash in one way or another.

^^I prefer using classic heavy metal as well. I'd vote for either classic heavy metal or thrash, as those are the two genres that come to my head first when I think of metal. Now if it was 'heaviest', this would probably be a much harder poll as there are many different ways a band can be heavy.

I'm in the just call it heavy metal camp. Other sub-genres tend to drop the "heavy", so that's the differentiator.

I guess Trad as pretty much all the sub-genres took something from this.
