I voted for all because I love most all metal, would kill for some prog or power though.

Please replace Dragonforce with actual Power Metal, I can't stand cheesey rip-offs of an otherwise spectacular sub-genre.

I feel like Shadows Fall isn't really Metalcore, especially not anymore. The first 2 Trivium albums, All Shall Perish and Unearth are more Metalcore.

Had I known you could vote for more than one I would have also voted for the Progressive choice bc I love Tool and Opeth, and Metalcore.

I voted Melodic.

Hey I can remember when Power Metalheads celebrated Valley of the Damned and Sonic Firestorm as some fresh new Power Metal. Of course, a lot of people turned their heads when they signed to Roadrunner but they put out that great music video for TTFatF. Of course GH3 has spawned a lot of raving idiocy that pisses off a lot people (including myself) but in all fairness Dragonforce is power metal and the only power metal a lot of radio listerners/mainstream people know about. I listed them there for those who would be curious to play more songs by bands searching for an epic sound, metal shredding guitar solos, and clean vocals.

I digress though, I do agree with you to a degree but I thought it would be identifiable to list them.

The more Maiden, the better.

Black Metal pack? You put Dimmu?! Immortal, Mayhem, and Dissection(THEY'RE NOT DEATH METAL!!!) would rule.

Oh my bad, I just listed some examples. Dimmu is the highest selling "black metal" style band ever (which arguably doesnt make them very black metal.) I meant simply as a genre pack.

Are they? I thought Cradle took that honor. Well after Stormblast they started to tread a less black metal trail, along with Cradle's first album.

You may be right but Dimmu Borgir is a bit closer to true black metal than Cradle is. I do know that Dimmu's latest hit #47 in the US billboards and #1 in Finland.
