Best Musical Genre

[The REAL Glasers]

I seriously don't get what all this stupid 'metal is the best' is. I mean how can you like old guys who havn't had a shower in years singing? I mean at least in genres like Classical and Soft Rock the bands or composers have some musical talent! (usually alot)

Maybe because outward appearance means nothing when it comes to music. You should judge based on sound, not appearance.

I'm trying to think of "Soft Rock" bands with talent, and I really can't think of any. Also, Metal draws a ton of influence from Classical and Jazz, utilizing a lot of the same scales. Quite a few Metal musicians have the talent to perform Classical music.

*Nods* Randy Rhoads wanted to attend college to learn to professionally compose music, and I hear he was a rather good classical guitarist. To bad he died before his time...

Cliff Burton was a classically trained pianist.

I know of quite a few Metal musicians that are avid fans of Avant-Garde music as well, some of which have even composed Avant-Garde.

Metal bands can have talent too...

Ok, I'm sorry I didn't think of that>>>

You guys are beyond silly. There is no such thing as "The best musical genre" because musical choice is subjective. It's an opinion, not fact.

[Helghast empire]

techno, trance, nightcore, and rave crap!

True. But I guess having an opinion is what makes these dicussion fun! If everything was a fact imagine what the world would be like. However I do see your point.

Metal Bands have plenty Talent.

I'd have to say, Rock. Normal Rock not Metal rock.

Also 1950's music

T'would link to pages noting my own metal favorites, but I'm too lazy. Suffice to say that CM and REAL Glaser's points are sufficiently reinforced by ANYTHING that Mr. Scott "Wino" Weinrich has done (The Obsessed, Saint Vitus, Spirit Caravan, The Hidden Hand, Wino, or Shrinebuilder), by Sleep, Electric Wizard (although that one may be just my opinion), or The Sword. Or Mastodon, or Iron Maiden, or Saxon (listening to "Wheels of Steel" as I write this), or Black Sabbath, or Deep Purple, or Thin Lizzy, or Therion (symphonic metal further proves above points about plenty of ability to do things classically), ISIS, or Armored Saint. Among others.
