People need to learn how to chill, we all have different opinions, and we all see bands in different ways, I personally do not agree with the tear Bradley put Mudvayne, as I said, they are freaking insane, and they are one of my favourite bands of all time (and I'm really hoping for a mew album), but this is his opinion and it is completely fine, we can't all agree our favourite band will be others favourite, but we can all share our love for metal and agree it is the best genre out there, we got passionate musicians writing songs from their heart, many of the songs we can feel what they're felling, an example of that is Would? By Alice In Chains, I got chills every single time I heard that song, or Pretty Fly (For A White Guy) by The Offspring. Every time I hear thay song, it brings me back to middle school, a time where everything was simpler than nowadays, and bring me back great memories...

I recommend possibly giving more of Spit a chance, or check out some of their later albums. They drifted more towards Heavy Metal later in their catalogue.

A bit of context about Kittie : they were 16 when they recorded their first album, which is the only one you can legitimately call "nu metal". It's actually pretty decent coming from such young musicians. At the time (2000) they were also one of the very few all female metal band, something that thankfully has become much more common since, in some small part thanks to them I believe. I had the pleasure of seeing them live once back in 2010, and they rocked pretty fucking hard. They're awesome.

This pissed off Sharon, which led to a feud between the two and it culminated in a rather infamous appearance on the Howard Stern Show where Sharon bet ICP that their upcoming album would not clear 200K sales and they would be dropped from their label. Sharon lost the bet and has never paid up.

the iconic ou ah ah ah ah will always turn you to monke mode

[@Wailmur]

Godsmack has "bulletproof" and "when legends rise" both good songs. The rest I agree with you on though

[@RafaleC77th]

Remember the US Navy had that recruiting ad with their song 'Awake'. "Life - Liberty - And the Pursuit of all those who threaten them" was that catch phrase at the end of the video.

Im 15 and slipknot blessed my soul honestly

[@ardonkharduid3021]

In all honesty my top 3 songs id recommend from mudvayne are: 1. Death blooms 2. Happy? 3. Scream with me Leaving aside the the s tier band member. Chads as a lyrist and vocalist is definitely shown in death bloom live 2001 rock am ring.

[@lukelyall5879]

Under my skin. Heaviest song on ld50

[@drmether9150]

Sevendust are underrated as fuck

[@cadethompson5890]

W comment section for calling out his bad take on mudvayne

[@sherman1476]

YOU FORGOT ILL NINO AND SOULFLY

[@unicornsupreme225]

Always curious as to why people hate Mudvayne. Their later albums aren’t the best but LD50 is absolutely nuts in my opinion. Listen to Eternal Primates and tell me that that song doesn’t have some really fun intensity. Dig is kind of a meme song but tbh it’s still really good too in my opinion. Why are they so poorly viewed? Genuine question.

[@undead333]

Alien Ant Farm is pop-punk

[@lukelyall5879]

Pop punk with nu metal elements

[@xSmittyxCorex]

Nu-Metal may be one of my favorite genres, honestly. Well…some of my favorite bands happen to fall in it, at least. You get to some deeper cuts and the quality goes way down/sounds a lot more generic (like Kittie). I disagree about Bodies (well, it *IS* kinda dumb, but like, it’s super catchy and weirdly fun, like Limp Bizkit’s stuff). Your take on Deftones sound a lot like what mine was for years, before I grew an appreciation for more than just raw energy in music (ambience, experimentation, meditative-…ness? All kinds of good qualities besides energy and heaviness music can have). Now they’re slowly becoming one of my favorite bands, and White Pony is an absolutely god-tier album. Never got into AAF. Might have to check them out, I’ve been hearing multiple people say they’re under appreciated lately during this whole nu-Metal revival

[@whifta]

I'd have put Kittie as B or A, personally - I remember when Brackish first released. Those women are just as old as I am, so when they broke through, it hit me. Kittie is an acquired taste ;)

[@dthedarkartist6709]

Later Kittie albums went hard. Go check out the new album and then tell me they aren't at least A tier

[@AlexTheSupremeHater]

Putting mudvayne in bin tier is crazy

[@Erik-bd6ll]

Nu metal is so goated

[@Erik-bd6ll]

Also Bradley I will not forgive you for shitting on coal chamber, godsmack, and kittie lmao

[@EsEhKa]

I was a huuuge fan of these bands back in the day. All of them except for Kittie and Mushroomhead. I also enjoyed listening to Taproot, Ill Niño, Fear Factory and Chevelle a lot. Since then I still listen to Static-X and System of a Down from time to time. I have to say that I also enjoyed listening to the last two albums by Fear Factory.

[@BradleyHallGuitar]

What do you think of our rankings? Are you a NU METAL fan??

[@IsaacTuduriLlabres]

Not a fan at all, except 'System of a Down'... that's the only one that I like from that genre, tbh...

[@anthonyw5261]

Definitely a fan. Some great music came from this genre. The list pretty much matches mine.

[@dmytrooleinichenko9865]

Good rank, but put Mudvaine on top of it😉

[@TPJN777]

Golly gosh the rankings don't agree with my tum tum at all. Bizkit over SlopKnot any day personally

[@Keruson]

you really should listen Deftones's debut album Adrenaline. it's one of the best albuns I ever heard, it's not in the same level as Rust in Peace, Master of Puppets and The Subliminal Verses but it's definitely at the same level of Toxicity and And Justice For All

[@ApacheNerd14]

My list S. Slipknot, Mushroom Head, Mudvayne, Static X, Disturbed, The Union Underground A. Coal Chamber, KoRn B. papa roach, Linkin Park C. Drowning Pool, Alien Ant Farm D. Kittie, Deftones, Godsmack Bin. System of a Down Worse Than Worse. Limp Bizikit

[@raulfigueroa588]

That’s a crazy list 😂

[@user-bf6gz8ej4o]

You forgot Incubus, Crazy Town, P.O.D., Trapt, Skindred and Powerman 5000!

[@Steve-gq5zy]

Incubus is alternative rock, not nu metal.

[@lukelyall5879]

@@Steve-gq5zypost grunge*

[@user-bf6gz8ej4o]

@@Steve-gq5zy The first albums clearly had nu metal influences. Hard and heavy riffs with a crushing guitar tone. This mixed with Funk influences.

[@GREG_Khar-NÜ-Metalhead2000]

​@@Steve-gq5zygroovy, grungy, alternative rock with dj scratch??? Not nu metal?? Coldplay is full alt rock, incubus is alt rock category in nu metal genres, like limp bizkit hip hop or skindred reggae

[@СергейШ-ч9т]

When Linkin Park appeared after half a decade of Korn, Limp BisKit, Guano Apes and other cool groovy stuff... I asked "who are these bedroom kids?" Still stay on this point.
