One of them is the most popular metal band.

Whilst,

The other one is the most popular prog metal band.

And.

This is a prog site forum.

So, Dream Theater is gonna win!

Or will they?..

Cool

Okay first of all Metallica all the f**king way.

Secondly, the last five options you have on this poll are cringe - I'm sorry. Just....ugh.

While I can tolerate Ulrich's mediocre drumming, Labrie has me wincing - I can't stand his voice. That's the reason I heavily dislike Dream Theatre, yet I very much like Liquid Tension Experiment.

Also St. Anger is highly underrated. It's actually work good for what it were supposed to be, if you can tolerate Hetfield's fake mental breakdown during some of the songs lmao

Another Day, another poll. I would've voted for the most popular metal band if they'd been in the poll, but up against Metallica, it's an easy win for Dream Theater. Wink

I'm not sure whether to vote Neither for I like neither band more or Both for I like both bands more. But seriously, while not exactly a fan, I'm going with Metallica for "The House that Jack Built" over Dream Theater's "The Ytse Jam" (I half expect Mike Portnoy to explode during the performance). Both of those songs remind me of Spinal Tap, and I love Spinal Tap.

What metal band do you think is the most popular? Though, I have to say that you'll be wrong with your prospective answer to that. Wink

I would've voted for Black Sabbath in preference over Dream Theater, even though that's "the wrong answer." Wink

^ Even most of the people with virtually zero knowledge about rock and metal music have at least heard of Metallica; for instance my parents. There is even a funny thing here that people say, "Metalikacı mısın?", which literally means, "Are you a Metallica head?" (They mean, metal head but think that Metallica is a type of music, lol.)

And now, there is the series The Stranger Things, and Metallica have released a brand new album. Add these to that.

If you really think that Black Sabbath is more popular than Metallica, you are dead wrong. Wink

None. I'm not much of a fan of either band. I just like a few of their songs, here and there. They are both good bands, but don't really fit to my taste in music.

I like Master of Puppets but no DT albums, so I guess, Metallica.

Dream Theater. Of course they will. Besides, I'm not a great fan of Metallica and the last 4 options above are unacceptable.
