Alot missing from the list, but I guess you can't have it all, out of that list, I'd have to go with SYL seen them at download a few years ago, it was epic. Though if I could pick my own, it would be Opeth at the moment.

And all of them are also other (metal) genres... If you search for bands that are only Nu-Metal, like Korn, Slipknot or Disturbed you won't find anything.Industrial-strenght Fan said:
Nu Metal IS metal because it follows metal styles and rythyms. But it's Popular Metal, so it's never gonna get acceptance from the hardcore unpopular metalheads. It's never gonna be the underground scene that you love but that doesn't make it any less a valid form of expresion.Cabamacadaf said:
I never said it was a "less valid form of expression" or that it's bad music (Disturbed is one of my favourite bands) but it's not metal.julesville said:
Well talk about a good range, although a bit narrow.
As I Lay Dying, Nightwish, and Children of Bodom from that list anyway.

Nu-metal is metal in that it is loud and sometimes fast. However, it caters more to the goth set than anyone else. Nu-metal was a term first coined because no one knew what to call up and coming bands in the mid-90s such as Rage Against the Machine. the term came to mean bands like Korn and Disturbed, the latter of which actually do some metal SONGS. However, the vast majority of the bands and the catalogs thereof fall under the umbrella of alternative rock. The closest band that falls under the nu-metal label would be something like System of a Down, which even then, are a stretch from other current bands that actually are metal bands. Listening to, say, Mastodon, and then Disturbed, you'll see very little equality in both the subject matter, technicality, and intelligence of the music. Even the marketing, album art, and fanbase are like comparing apples to oranges.julesville said:
It's not a matter of popularity or how "hardcore" the music is, it's honestly about what the band is actually going for.
Why does this list have no Death Metal, or Prog Metal, or Black Metal, or Doom Metal, or Power Metal, or Gothic Metal, or Thrash Metal, or Industrial Metal, or Folk Metal, or... uhm... Liquid Metal.
But seriously, that is a pretty short list for a genre as varied as Metal. At least have one band from each sub-genre. And some of those bands (Disturbed, Slipknot) are debatable as to their metallness.
As far as favorite band: Nevermore. Brutal Progressive Thrash Metal.

i must admit that i didnt find those bands listed as nu metal, disturbed was listed as trash metal, slipknot was listed as a crossover, and iwont continue this quarrel, i dont realy care, but i still mean that Nu Metal is metal.Cabamacadaf said:
Dillinger Escape Plan
Those guys are brilliant, 43% Burnt, Baby's First Coffin. Plus, any band that has Mike Patton sing for them on an EP after the original lead singer leaves just shows how awesome they are.
Also, I have not heard, nor did I know the term Nu Metal existed for like 10 years now.
