Yeah, it's probably better to appreciate them as "pop" rather than as a hard rock band.

Personally, I'm only gonna second what's already been said: "Chop Suey" is a good song, and there's a good bit of Deftones stuff out there worth inclusion.

I always do 3 cd sets. I made a blues 3cd set, a hip hop 3cd set, two 80's 3 cd set, 10 indie rock 3 cds set, a Jandek 3cd set, a Prince 3 cd set... This is totally arbitrary.
- Based on this thread so far, it sounds like there's a very strong, enjoyable single "Least Worst of Nu-Metal," but it also sounds like stretching it into 3 discs is gonna be tough. Even by the standards of the folks here who have the most interest in the genre.
Yes, you are right. I will try to do a 2 cd set.
- Personally, I'm only gonna second what's already been said: "Chop Suey" is a good song, and there's a good bit of Deftones stuff out there worth inclusion.
Thank You and thanks to all of you.

If ever a genre could be distilled to one disc, it was nu-metal.

"Broken" was a last minute addition because I wanted another power ballad. It might've been inappropriate.
"The Reason" itself isn't too nu-metal but the band is and their other songs suck. It's a bit of a stretch I suppose but I don't find it too inappropriate.
"Last Resort" is terrible. I might enjoy its presence on the mix because it's pretty fucking hysterical, but I wanted to make the most legitimate case possible for nu-metal as a truly worthwhile genre. It's not a great case but I think it probably works OK.

Can't have System without 'Sugar', which is far and away their greatest song. (they are obv 'nu-mental')
'Wait and bleed' seconded, as it is a pretty little folk song; bizkit's 'break stuff' was fucking iconic. And Pitchshifter were pretty decent, too, not that I can think of any song titles off the top of my head. Marylin Manson's 'Rock is dead' was also pretty damn near classic.
+ That remix of Rob Zombie's 'Dragula'!
...oh, man. I dig out my old mixtapes now!

There's an Adema video on the Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance game disc. I think the song might even be about Mortal Kombat. It's pathetic.

It has effeminate pop-star vocals, but the guitar line and production are totally nu-metal. I-IIIm. Suck it.

i have 'diary of jane' by breaking benjamin stuck in my head today after hearing it on the radio recently and i kinda dig it, though it might just be stockholm syndrome. it's almost like...bubblegum nu-metal? idk

decided to listen to some samples of bands listed upthread that I never listened to after seeing a band that sounded like Korn shitting in Mushroomhead's mouth last night, followed by a pure Soulfly clone so ridiculous that they even have "fly" in their name!
Snot = percussive and funky, not ear grating. wouldn't voluntarily listen, but not badKilgore = Godsmack trying to do doom, passUltraspank = zzzzzZZZzzzzZZZzzPrimer 55 = Guy Fieri rapping over shitty g-funk 'metal'
ok back to thrash it is
