Yes, I agree. It is unfair to pit and entire continent against one country. If you want this to be fair, make a poll that pits US vs. Norway or something. Not an entire continent.

I think you do have a point a there. But, as i see it, europe its more melodic and US its more brutal, gutural, even plastic some times.
Anyway, i still think you might be right .Maybe later we shuld post a poll in the way you said it. Right now i'll stick to the the US vs Europe question.
Uh oh America is losing. Well I do like the way European bands sound...espcially Swedish ones, but I also love American Death Metal. Its hard to pick a fave.

A poll that pits US vs. Norway IS pitting an entire continent against one country! And I definitely wouldn't consider that to be fair. It most likely would reverse the result we see in this poll though, if that's what you want.
I really don't see what all the fuss is about. This poll is just a poll for the sake of a poll. It's valid because Europe and the US jointly rule the planet in terms of being the best continents for Metal and, despite the greatness of both, some people might find they have a leaning to one or the other...in which case they'll click on one or the other just for the helluvit...for fun. That's all it is...and it's NOT unfair. I'm guessing 15-20 years ago the result might've been different.
Wow, your geography books must be different than mine. Last time I checked neither the US or Norway were a continent unto themselves. The US is part of North America and Norway is part of Europe.

Dude, you seriously need to take Geography class again. Africa, Europe, Asia, Antarctica, North America, South America, and Australia are the 7 continents. The US is not a continent. It's a country, same as Norway, Sweden or what have you.
Nah, I don't need geography lessons. You're just being pedantic. I think it's fair to say that the US does a fair job of representing North America, at least for the sake of a poll like this.
Country v. country is fair, I never said it wasn't. But I AM saying that pitting the US against Norway is farcical!
I apologise for overlooking the fact that you said "US" and not "America", and I also apologise to Canada for temporarily forgetting the distinction between them and the US.
