First - Yes, every genre under the sun isn't listed. I picked the most popular 8 and left the 9th option open as Other in an attempt to make everyone as happy as possible.

So yea, which genre has, in your mind, put out the most consistent quality of music overall? Each genre has it's great albums and the ones we'd all rather forget so now it's up to you to decide.

One final note, Consistent doesn't mean "constantly good". A genre can just as easily put out consistently sub-par albums. I'm interested to see how everyone interprets this poll because of that...

Voted for thrash but early oldschool speed metal is the most high quality metal for me. No disappointments so far .

...There is no such thing as a bad prog band, because it's all just expression. ... All of prog is different, and there is no genericism, or trending. And you can't go wrong with a concept album!

No genre and every genre. All of them have the same level of "consistency".

Ya personally it has to be pure Heavy Metal and Thrash Metal... Idk, seems like they're pretty consistent, and even after decades of new bands... it still sounds great -_-
