As the title does nothing to indicate, I'm wondering if vocals and lyrics are important to you people.
I don't think I've heard much metal without, but I'm reasonably certain it can be good either way (with or without vocals). I think I do prefer my metal to have vocals, with decent lyrics. Also, I think pretty much only clearer, more 'sung' vocals appeal to me. I'll try to think of examples if you need me to.
This may be (part of?) why I lean more towards power in my likes (but I admit I haven't had access to heaps of metal, so... *shrug*).
If this is a bad idea for a thread, just let it fade away (let one person say it is bad, if you must, but don't keep it alive with fire).
If I've explained stuff badly, I've got the excuse of tiredness type stuff, plus I often have trouble putting thoughts to words properly (even been thingoed by a speech pathologist bloke). So there
.
Anyways, please try to reply in a constructive sort of manner. Discuss, debate, etc., don't argue, flame, etc. (as far as you are able). An angry moderator is not something I would wont to meet in a dark ally, but I expect you lot know the rules and all that, so please continue.
