These are Spin’s “30 Best Nu-Metal Songs”
I call bullshit on Spin’s newly-unveiled list of “The 30 Best Nu-Metal Songs.” I mean, Crazy Town, the single most important metal band of the ’90s, are relegated to #13, which is a load of crap. Both era’s great “BOOM!” songs are on the list, but they’re clearly in the wrong order. Skrape, Adema, and The Union Underground are all here, but Ill Niño, Dope, and E. Town Concrete are all absent. And, most offensively of all, it reminded me that Deadsy was a thing, and now someone has to die. FUCK.
The full list is below. Argue about it in the comments section.
