Toss up between current-era metal or pop-80s for me.

It really is subjective. What one person likes, someone else may detest completely.

In the aspect of what the OP asked, it is true. I think rock is the best and think rap is the worst, but that is my opinion and of course, opinions are subjective.

Granted there is an error in expression on the part of the TC, but it is flagrantly obvious what he wanted out of the responses (i.e. a subjective answer; not a trite platitude on how art isn't objective).

There is no best genre. Only Popular and Favorites.

Anyway, I vote Alternative Rock.

Wouldn't this be really subjective?

That said, if you put all sub-genres of "Rock" under Rock, including alternative & punk and metal, I might have to go with that, because of the variations between minimilism and complexity, slow and fast tempos, and mixes with other genres such as folk and blues.

And then other strong ones, depending on if you're rating this under complexity or history, cIassical, blues, jazz, etc. would be notable.

I'm more into the prog revival stuff. Porcupine Tree are my favorite band. Riverside, Frost*, Pineapple Thief, and Anekdoten are all great as well.

As for progressive metal, I like Opeth, Edge of Sanity, Cynic, Nevermore, Disillusion, and stuff like that.

There is no such thing as best Genre of Music,that is very subjective.

There is only Good and Bad Music and that is also subjective to the listenners personal opinion.

I have listened to music over Genres i didnt think i would like and ended up liking it.

I used to listen to Eminem and mostly Hipop at a point,then Evanescence came along,then Nickelback,Dolly Patron,Pavoratti. You see the pattern

There is, it's METAL!

How is it metal?

Nobody outside of the people who are fans of it seem to take it seriously, though there are a few bands (that can easily fall under classic rock) that are relatively important.
