Grunge the original

I like rock and country rock the best. Big fan of some metal

IMO punk is well punk.
 
Metal started ramping up when I was in college (early 80's), as I was getting into older stuff (Stones, Beatles, Byrds, Who, Doors), and also into Punk/New Wave, with the dawn of Mtv. I have grown to like some of it (Motorhead, Metallica, and a few others), but it just didn't resonate with me as a genre...

If the Ozzy version of black Sabbath is metal then that strengthens it a lot for me. I pretty much like the standard metal songs otherwise...Metallica in other words.

Cuntry rock and roots rock are by far my favorites of the genre.

But early punk appeals way more to my sensibilities than metal. 3 chords and the truth.

Sabbath invented metal so therefore metal.
 
I'm a sucker for a melody hence Def Leppard over punk

And Metallica after they sold out
 
Only punk band I actually love and will continually listen to is the Misfits

Thats a neverending debate though. They weren't the first to rev up the blues and weren't the first to feature a jazz drummer. Progenitor of metal is a label I see more frequently, but the same label can apply to Led Zep, Deep Purple and others...hell even Hendrix and Santana.

I feel like Sabbath became more metallic over time, mainly after Paranoid. I really know fuckall though.

Hard to say, my vinyl collection (mostly bought back in the day) tends to favor Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Rainbow, etc. but also a decent selection of the Ramones. I've also got a lot of shit albums that I bought because I liked the videos at the time. As an old guy I prefer southern/country rock.
 
This is a tough one. Which way should a hippie go?
