Stratovarius Community

Yes, I understand that many people think "I like all metal styles" but I'm sure that nearly everyone has one favourite style. So vote for it!

My vote goes for "Classic heavy metal" :headbang:

It's not trash, it's thrash metal.

I listen bands of many genres, but if I had to choose one, I'd say power metal (Helloween, Blind Guardian, Kamelot, Stratovarius...).

Needless to say, it's Power for me!!

Sorry. I didn't notice that mistake and now I can't edit it...

Progressive, power, speed/thrash, melodic hard rock

Actually, I like Metal from many different genres--even Dark Metal, Goth&Classic. So, even though I voted Power--I actually am not too picky. I judge my likes on the music itself! And, individual songs!

My vote goes to Power but I love Classical Metal too.

Power all the way (Strato, Helloween, Rhapsody, Sonata Arctica [even if they don't admit it ])

But I also like heavy/thrash (Maiden, Megadeth, the old Metallica), prog (Dream Theater, Rush and Symphony X) and classical (Led Zeppelin, Rainbow)

death metal and all it's variations (technical, progressive, melodic, raw, etc...) and bandas like Dark Tranquillity, Cynic, Death, Pestilence, Necrophagist, Atheist, Dying Fetus, Deicide, In Flames and so on; then comes power, heavy and progressive stuff, you know, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Symphony X, SONATA ARCTICA, old Stratovarius, old Nightwish, Helloween, Cacophony...

God, metal is so cool

gothic metal!

It's a draw between industrial and folk, I marked folk in the end ...
Brutal death metal/grindcore is close third ...

I voted for power but in addition to that style I like also prog power (but not full progressive, it´s too tricky for me), folk, heavy/thrash and a bit of classical too.

I can't vote 'cause I like much the Black Metal and I like much the power metal...

Ok, I'll vote for power.

But let's put it this way:

I don't like industrial metal.

Everything else. Me likes.

I voted for Power Metal, because I like styles that are fast, and have excellent melodies and chords!

Power and Folk are my two favourites.

With only one option available, I went for Black metal.

Tomorrow it might be something else, though. I keep changing my mind

Progpower!

Of course!

Power here. Speed would be my second choice.

Still, labelling music is totally stupid, especially nowadays.
For ex, most of the Power metal bands take elements from Speed, they use orchestra and vocal harmonies from Symphonic, sometimes they have a singing like Trash or Black Metal. Gamma Ray for ex, has jazzy-blue & heavy-metal & hard rock & speed & symphonic & rock...

Hem.. What gothic metal bands do you like?

I also wonder why there isn't gothic metal in the poll

OMG how power is leading

Sorry, but I didn't want to put all metal styles there, just the main ones.

Well, I agree...

Because Metal styles are MANY

Coz this is Strato-forum, and strato is mainly considered as power...

Yes yes but still, I really don't think that example person X would say to Y like this: "the best metal style is power metal just because Stratovarius plays it and strato kicks ass" Or something.
And anyway, there are maybe some persons in this forum who likes strato but they don't truly love them.

Yeah, but these ppl may usually like lots of other power or "similar" bands and also listen to Strato, though that isn´t their fav.

Well, to me Strato is mainly only power metal band that I like (though I like example Helloween also a bit)...
