I listen to metal on occasion. However, unlike many of the other people who posted in this thread before me, I listen to good metal, where the people in the bands can actually play their instruments, write good songs, and sing decently enough.

My favorite metal band has been making good music for 36 years. A band called Motorhead. I also like bands such as Megadeth, early Helloween, excluding the Michael Kiske years, Overkill, and the strangely eccentric Dream Theater.

There aren't that many good metal bands. The metal genre of music sucks, except for a handful of bands. The same can be said for essentially every other type of music. People like to make shit popular so that more shitty musicians will release more shit that more shitty people will appreciate.
