I started this thread a while ago and it was very one-sided. lets see if it retains its results after a good half year.

METAL! fast fingers, drumsticks, and vocals that could rip the human race to hell and back

RAP! C*AP!

Question: How are you supposed to compare two different genres of music? Isn't it comparing apples and oranges?

But if that is what you wish: I do not have a preference for genres, as the music within can differ wildly. There are rap songs I like, there are metal songs/music I like, and there is a bunch of other music I entertain myself with.
However I think Rock beats both.

I choose rock, like Cen, because at least 3/4ths of all music falls under the rock umbrella. Rap is its adoptive brother from the projects, swing and blues are its parents, world music is its cousin, classical is the grandpa, and metal is its parasitic twin. Electronic music is their vacuum cleaner.

nononono, I love metal music, and it's my favorite super-genre along with indie. I just chose rock because it just envelopes both metal and alternative to an extent.

Rock hands down, although I do enjoy some rap songs, mostly older.

I'm gonna have to say Metal - it's far superior to rap in my eyes (or rather, my ears)

Metal definitely. Rap is so repetitive seeing as the beats are recycled, everyone either talks or autotunes, no one actually plays an instrument, most rappers sample music and the lyrics are more or less the same.

Rap probably, I like listening to metal on the odd occassion, same with rap really, but still prefer it over metal.

Old School Rap vs. 80's Hair Metal ---> 80's Hair Metal
Old School Rap vs. Death Metal ---> Old School Rap
New School Rap vs. 80's Hair Metal ---> 80's Hair Metal
New School Rap vs. Death Metal ---> Earplugs

It all depends on which subgenres are being taken into consideration.

Metal of course but that's my opinion. You can't spell crap without rap.
