I like Metal more.
I can't get into progressive metal, wether it is due to lack of good bands or my lack of interest for the genre.

I used to like prog and metal but prog metal took a long, long time to grow on me. The reason was that I liked prog for its sophistication, complexity, and wide range of moods and atmospheres it could evoke, whereas I went to metal for balls-to-the-walls aggression and raw power, so I tended to see prog metal as an uncomfortable compromise - too hard and heavy to be especially satisfying prog, too sophisticated and sappy to be really A-grade metal. I've since come to like prog metal on its own terms, but it's for reasons different from the reasons I enjoy prog on the one hand and metal on the other, so I can totally see why someone could just not like prog metal if they find that it a) doesn't deliver what prog offers to them, b) doesn't scratch the itch that metal scratches, and c) doesn't offer to them its own unique satisfaction that other genres can't provide.

I like some bands labelled prog metal (DT, Fates Warning, Cynic among them), but sometimes "prog metal" is more straightforward than the name implies. There are other metal genres I enjoy exploring greater than prog metal.

Basically cause i like metal bands that got a bit of prog direction, but not intrinsically prog. Sabbath is a good example of it. |

Neither one. Prog metal is really cheesy most of the time, and regular metal just bores me. There are exceptions to both, but I'm going with my general attitude.

There are few straight metal bands I like. While prog-metal isnt my favorite it can be quite excellent.

Prog metal mostly....which grew from my love of what I will call classic metal like Judas Priest, Scorpions, Iron Maiden and a slew of others.

I don't understand how you could like metal but totally dislike an entire genre of loosely connected bands who play under the umbrella called metal.
I like both. |

First I thought- neither. But then I realised that Ayreon and Pain of Salvation is classified as prog metal and I quite like them.
