Which of these is your favorite?










Out of these bands from "music's most hated genre", which do you like the most?

A couple of these bands are admittedly a little borderline, but all have been classified as "Nu-Metal" at some point in their careers.

If any of you pick Papa Roach as your favorite, I fucking swear.

This, I still legit love them. They brought something incredibly unique and Serj trained in Opera and brought it to metal. Top tier band as far as i'm concerned.

I will say, after making this topic, I'm now listening to SOAD and I kinda forgot how legit good they are. I fucking loved them in high school, it's nice to see that they hold up.

Korn is definitely the first band I think of when I think "Nu-Metal"; I'd say SOAD is the better band overall, but I associate them less directly with the genre.

Korn is my personal favorite but SOAD is up there with them. Mudvayne is pretty awesome too if only for L.D.50.

Korn and SOAD are the only ones on the list that I would consider to have any legitimate songwriting ability. Of those, I enjoy SOAD far more.

Wait, actually Slipknot has some legit bangers and even a few bops as well.

Hey, just a random question. Is rb.gy a known link shortener here? I've never had to use one for a link on the boards and I remember years ago that they were either not allowed or autoflagged because of people abusing them. I just felt a bit weird posting a shady looking link

L.D.50 is a fantastic album. It's pretty prog too, kinda like a mix between Tool and Slipknot. The rhythm section goes absolutely bonkers.

I chose Korn, but if Deftones count (for their early material), they would win by leaps and bounds. They started out more in the nu metal world but progressed beyond it, whereas Korn has a really good 1st album and then a few "meh" prime albums (though I think the 4th and 5th ones are solid) but some banging singles. Their 2019 album was pretty damn solid too.

I also like Slipknot too. Their last album was really good stuff. The 1st album bangs. Only really know the big tracks. I like SOAD but haven't dove deep into their albums. I have a soft spot for Linkin Park's first 2 albums but they're pretty basic and don't go as hard as the 1st few Korn and Deftones.

The rest of the list is mostly horse****.

SOAD by far. Korn gets an honorable mention.

I might like a few songs here and there from others, but everything else I pretty much loathe.

SOAD by a mile.

Oddly enough, my favourite Papa Roach song was their reggaefied version of Tightrope. Actually, tbh, that song is one of my favourites ever.

Deftones are probably the best band that ever had the nu-metal label, but they kind of grew out of that after White Pony. I would say only their first two albums are nu-metal.

I think in retrospect, the 1st Korn album in 1994 is considered the 1st nu-metal album. But if you look a bit farther back, the seeds for the genre were planted by bands like Rage Against the Machine, Faith No More, the early Red Hot Chili Peppers.

But yeah, from a 1994 perspective, there were a number of California bands that were on a similar wavelength.
