This line is SOOO Wrong its barely funny.
Punk wasnt about killing Metal. It was about rebelling against Disco and the corporate top 40 bubblegum crap that was out at the time. Metal was just as fringe as Punk at that time. In fact most punks listened to metal as well. Or like me... Alice Cooper, which is a class all by himself.

Agreed speed metal is very much a transitional area between heavy and thrash. To me its sounds like a faster version of heavy metal but a less agressive version of thrash. Also not all famous speed metal bands turn into thrash,
Motorhead is a well known band and they stayed true to speed metal. I've never been a big fan of hair metal it sounds too "popish" for my tastes.

PLEASE don't say they are fusion Genres....
Well Progressive metal is a cross between Progressive rock and Heavy Metal so technically it is a fusion genre whether you like it or not, but Melodeath is just another genre of Death metal.
Prog metal isn't really a fusion of prog rock and metal, it's just to metal what prog rock is to rock, the next step up, if you will, in the musical evolution.
Also, melodeath may be a "subgenre" of Death Metal, but it's one of the most important branches of metal at the moment, with Bands like Dark Tranquillity, Arch Enemy and Opeth being much bigger players on the world stage than say, Mayhem/Burzum/Darkthrone or Cannibal Corpse/Obituary/Nile
Gonna have to dissagree. Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Saxon and motorhead all fit into the classic metal area, for being the opening the door to metal, Kiss, Alice Cooper, AC/ DC and Led Zepplin were all heavy melodic rock bands with a big influence on metal, but not quite metal.

If Black and Folk are new wave. Then I must say new wave.
I respect Iron Maiden and Saxon however. But really this is the gak that gets me to school these days without just saying "feth" it and be a drug dealer.

Black and folk metal aren't part of the "New Wave of British Heavy Metal" (or "new wave" metal as I like to call it ) because a) those genres aren't exclusive to England and b) they are not straight heavy metal.

No there isn't, sorry (also I'm assuming you mean European metal). All the choices I posted were based on genres not regions of Heavy Metal.

Well, it's over 50 votes now, heavy metal is still in first, thrash is tailing further behind, gaining votes folk is now tied for second with thrash, leaving third place (black metal) all by itself. Doom metal hasn't received any votes, yet.
(Also shadowbrand post as much Black metal stuff to your heart's content)
