Who's winning: Heavy Metal or Punk Rock?

So far, Heavy Metal has 50% and Punk Rock has 50% of 5,711 votes cast — it's a dead heat.

Heavy metal channels its defiance through virtuosic riffs, thunderous double-kick drums, and towering wall-of-sound amplification. Punk rock strips music down to raw three-chord fury and a fast, snarling do-it-yourself ethos. Technical might or bare-knuckle attitude?
