Metal Hammer Says These Are the 40 Best Nu-Metal Songs of All Time

Metal Hammer has released a list of what they say are The 40 Best Nu-Metal Songs of All Time. Given that they had to come up with forty nu-metal songs and they couldn’t just use 40 songs by the Deftones, System of a Down, and Sevendust (I mean, they could have done that, but the readers probably would have been pissy about it), the list is mostly a celebration of drek.

Still, we love a good debate, so check out the complete list below, then head to the comments section to argue about it. You can read Metal Hammer‘s explanations for each of their selections here.
