I'm a child of the '80s so I mainly stick to good ole fashioned straight up old school heavy metal.

...but honestly, as long as it doesn't have growling WOOOOARRRRRGH vocals in it I'm good.  TeddyR

Straight up heavy metal is best in my book, before all the classifications and sub-genres. Frankly I couldn't care less about them. But yeah, basically, I'm old school straight up metal: Maiden, Priest, that kind of stuff. I like the more hardcore stuff as well, but once it starts getting into splintered classifications, I lose interest.

I like many types of metal. I started off as a total Maiden freak when I was a kid - Powerslave was the first one I got. Then I graduated to thrash, then death metal, then all the Earache stuff circa '89. I abolutely love doom, but nowadays I find myself constantly listening to Jesu - that's about as metal as I've been into lately. I'm not as big a metal fan like I used to be - I find a lot of the newer bands don't hold my interest very much.
(sorry about the double post, I forgot that I entered a reply to the thread.)

Me too. I like the metal from when it was all just "heavy metal." I might refer to glam, hair bands, etc., but that's really more about presentation than about the music itself. To me, there is metal, and all of the various subgenres are kind of pointless. It's like a lot of bands and fans trying to lay claim to the genre but distance themselves from everything in it. To me, it feels pretentious, contradictory and needlessly complicated. It's either metal or it's something else. Some of what is calling itself metal these days is so different from what I'd call metal, it probably should branch off into something else, much as metal branched off from rock and roll, becoming a genre in its own right.

Then again, is the original heavy metal distinct from the rock genre? I think it's just part of the progression of rock that had been going on through the 60s and 70s. You can find the elements of heavy metal throughout that period. When I think about it, the original metal classification almost seems like it was more about marketing than about a new kind of music. Maybe it's all just rock and roll.

I find it funny how Christian Metal and Black Metal came out of the same time, people were calling metal satanic, some to prove that it isn't made Christian Metal, others took this opportunity to make Black metal.

You got some karma comin' for that one, my friend!  The NWOBHM was a short but very sweet period of true, non-genre specific hard rock that embodied true D.I.Y. spirit and unapologetically honest originality. The music is as good today as it did then.

Raven, baby!  5 *****

A few more names: Jackal, Black Axe, Fist, Vardis, Holocaust, White Spirit, and Praying Mantis and Paralex.   NWOBHM-GOOD!   Cheers
