Favorite Style of Metal (genre, Atmosphere, Judas Priest, goth, classic)

If wikipedia is right then I must be really dumb because I have never heard of Scandinavian Death Metal, or Florida Death Metal.

^^^ Those are basically death metal scenes based off of the countries. Not real genres.

While I agree wiki is not reliable, i have to ask, what source IS reliable on this type of musical information? Is it like there is the official music site where analysts do research on this or something? When it comes down to it, isn't every genre made, made up by some person and everyone excepted it? It could be the same here as well except not everyone agrees with it yet.

It wouldn't be a site of general knowledge like that. If I could access more specific sites I could give you the links

Sure Wikipedia isn't reliable enough to be used for research purposes, but in the vast majority of cases, it's fine for everyday use.

Out of that list, Power Metal - but in reality my favorite Metal genre is Gothic Metal. That wasn't listed though so ...

I love all forms of Metal.

I'm a big Thrash fan, Doom, Classic/NWoBHM, you name it. If it's Metal, I like it. Pretty much.

HI all
I listens Heavy Metal, Power Metal, Post Metal and Folk metal. However, I like Progressive Metal very much. This is my favorite music.
