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.

(Bill: The Rasmus are probably one of the ten biggest bands in the world at the moment, but they don't seem too bothered about cracking the US yet).

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

However, ignoring my argument entirely, I would never call Static-X nu-metal (unless you call Rob Zombie or Ministry or Prong nu-metal, which seems ridiculous). System of a Down is not nu-metal, either.
I would end this nutty little nu-metal compilation idea and throw yourself together a 3-CD Children of Bodom fest. You'll be much happier and healthier.

There's this one pretty great Mudvayne song with this awesome 3-part vocal breakdown and this totally Yes-esque (Yesque?) weird structural shit going on. A lot of their shit does that, they're kinda nu-prog, honestly.

Anyway, Rob Zombie and Ministry are both a whole lot more industrial than Static-X (or "Push It" at least, the only song of theirs I know).

I dunno about saying that Static-X isn't industrial, Good Dr. Static-X's "Wisconsin Death Trip" (or whatever it's called) encompasses a lot of industrial elements. Rob Zombie is more industrial just because he samples a B-movie 20 times per song? Frankly, Rob Zombie has gone downhill, now that I think about it. That's too bad. Viva "La Sexorcista"!

I think Ned likes Linkin Park because they've got tons and tons of Depeche Mode in them! (which is why I like them too)
The "self-righteous suicide" and "dis-oooord-der" ones by System of a Down are great...
Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit is pretty hard to deny. Seems to mark the era better than any other song....It's epic hissy fit mosh rock.

Great band, led by Joe Leste', ex of Bang Tango, I totally recommend both albums. Velvet Revolver wish they were half this good. But this ain't nu-metal
