| 10 Songs We Can Actually Thank Nu Metal For
Many of us metalheads now in our early 20s and out of high school can still remember and dare I say smell the stigma of nu metal in the scene, and it was outcasted as fast as it was embraced, though nu metal wasn't a particularly horrible genre in my mind...here's in my opinion the 10 best songs garnished from the nu metal era, and which we wouldn't have if not for it.... | 1 | Slipknot Wait and Bleed | 2 | Disturbed Down With The Sickness | 3 | Korn Freak on a Leash | 4 | Mudvayne Dig | 5 | Godsmack Whatever | 6 | Deftones Minerva | 7 | Staind It's Been Awhile | 8 | System of a Down Aerials | 9 | Ill Nino How Can I Live Without You | 10 | Linkin Park Breaking the Habit | |

01.14.09 | 6 is the only band I can stand from this list. | dankeyes11
01.14.09 | i can still appreciate some good nu metal now and again.
although i still vow that "stand alone" was godsmack's only good song.
and i'd probably pick a different linkin park song.
good list though. | ninjuice
01.14.09 | 1, 5, 8 and 10 have better songs. | OpethFreak
01.14.09 | Pharmaecopia is better then Dig, Avarice is better than number 2, Toxicity is better than number 8 and The Heretic Anthem is better than Number 1. | Poet
01.14.09 | I Stand Alone is one of the best mainstream hard rock songs ever. Just saying. | Yotimi
01.14.09 | Not a huge nu metal guy either but I'd say (sic) is the best Slipknot song. Blind is the best Korn song. Good pick for Mudvayne and Godsmack (I stand alone is tolerable too, I agree). I'd pick Sugar for System of a Down. God, NO Disturbed though. | Masochist
01.14.09 | I agree "Minerva" is among their best, but there are so many songs that can be plugged into that spot along side it: "Change (In the House of Flies)," "Be Quiet and Drive," "My Own Summer (Shove It)," "Bored," to name a few. Same could be said for System of a Down.
Then again, I associate Deftones more with A Perfect Circle than, say, Korn, and I hold System in higher regard than anyone else in the Nu-Metal genre.
Linkin Park have a lot better songs than Breaking the Habit. I can't stand Staind. And Godsmack also has "Awake," which I enjoyed quite a bit. Also...what's up with the exclusion of anything by P.O.D.? Back in high school, "Alive," "Boom" and "Satellite" were the shit (at least to me).
But after having said AAAALLLLLLLL of that...I think, on the whole, I can agree with this list. | Masochist
01.14.09 | Chevelle. Missing something by Chevelle. | AliW1993
01.14.09 | 1, 6 and 8 ftw, though all have better songs imo. | Burn2Burn
01.14.09 | 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 have actually contributed quite a bit more than 1 song you smelly asshole. | BornDeadBuriedAlive
01.16.09 | I agree, good songs, though I think most of the bands have better songs. Slipknot's newer stuff is better than their old (imo), though it's not exactly nu metal. Aerials is one of the best SOAD songs, along with Spiders, B.Y.O.B., Hypnotize, Mr. Jack, Sugar, Chop Suey, Toxicity, and Psycho. IMO, when it comes to Deftones, Elite, Change and especially Passenger are better than Minerva. Mudvayne's best songs are Dig, Not Falling, Determined, and Fall Into Sleep. LP, I'm not a fan by any means, but Breaking The Habit is one of their best, maybe their best, next to Faint. Best Staind song is Outside, and with Disturbed, it's either DWTS or 10,000 Fists. | Kohleherz
01.18.09 | slipknot is meh.
disturbed- liked them... two years ago. meh again
korn- idk... they've got quite a few decent songs
mudvayne- havent heard enough of them. dig or happy?
godsmack- erm.
deftones- havent heard enough
Staind- pick a diff band. sorry
SOAD- uh... Toxicity, Chop Suey, and Sugar come to mind
Ill Nino- yeh
Linkin Park- idk. i still have some respect for them. maybe numb or faint | arsonist88
02.14.09 | I agree with 8 and Deftones. Minerva is one of my least favorite songs by them though... ever. Replace it with My Own Summer or Be Quiet And Drive if you're going for singles. | ManicDemise
12.20.10 | How dare you make "nu-metal" list and include Deftones. | Josh D.
12.20.10 | uh... | patroneyes
12.20.10 | lol knew-mehtul | FuckedUp
12.20.10 | Still hate 2. | TheyTookErrJobs
01.20.11 | 2 is fucking horrible | renegadestrings
01.20.11 | i agree with some, disagree with others. though the lack on Nonpoint is near unforgivable.
gimme some waffle fries... FO FREE |
