Well if we aren´t talking Prog Rock or Prog metal, I will vote for rock. The only metal I listen to nowadays is Maiden and Wasp.
Rock includes Purple, Zeppelin, BOC, Velvet Revover, Scorpions, Rainbow etc....
So it´s Rock!!

If you classify Deep Purple, Zeppelin and co as rock, as well as most prog then rock. -------------

| Rock, the only bands that come close to metal that i listen to are Deep purple, Led Zeppelin and Rainbow and even these bands don't have much in common with ac/dc, Iron Maiden etc. |

This is an early front-runner for "vaguest poll of the year" award. I like some metal and I like some rock. What does Joe Satriani fall under? You might say rock, but then you'd have to listen to songs like "Mind Storm" or "Devil's Slide"--they sound a lot like metal. What about Soundgarden and Alice in Chains? They were "grunge," which would normally equate to "alt-rock," but they had heavy, HEAVY influence from Sabbath, and often displayed the visceral qualities of metal. What about Sabbath themselves? By today's metal standards, they were about as metal-y as The Beatles. But is anybody gonna doubt their status as gods of metal? And people calling Rush the first prog-metal band? What's WRONG with you? -------------

I'll have to go with metal. The production of metal is so much better than that of rock. I think the main reason why I'm so much more willing to listen to obscure metal bands than obscure rock bands is because of the production quality.

Eh?
 We're obviously not listening to the same metal then.  ------------- sig |

The production has very little to do with the quality of the music itself..

I'm not sure about that. Bad production can ruin music, and good production can make "bad" music seem better. - On topic, I prefer Rock over Metal. Perhaps it's prejudice, but most Metal is a little cheesy and sometimes childish in my opinion. However, I do enjoy a couple of Metal bands, especially Prog ones. |

Yes - bad production can sometimes ruin music, but the statement "good production can make "bad" music seem better" is just ridiculous and has no truth in it what-so-ever. |

Perhaps you misunderstood me. I didn't say that it actually makes the music better, but that a particular song can seem to be much better if it's splendidly produced. |

What? This makes absolutely no sense.
I voted for metal, I feel it's got more potential. Still rock can be utterly amazing on its own.

The reason that the production of Metal is better (in some peoples
opinions) might be that the greatest Rock bands such as Led Zeppelin,
Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy etc. etc. were at their peak in the '70s. The
technology has evolved very much since then, so albums can get a
better, clearer sound nowadays. Personally, I have no opinion on the subject as I don't listen to much Metal. |

This poll is nonsens, because Metal is agenre of Rock. It's like Rock vs. Music... -------------

Yes that's true. The technology has increased, but there were still very well produced albums coming out of those time periods. ELP's albums were very well produced, and somewhat later Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Helloween had very well produced albums. However, there is no way anyone could argue Yes or Genesis had production anywhere near the level of Dream Theater or Pain of Salvation. That's part of the reason I like the bands more, they just sound better when I listen to them. -------------
