Who Is Britain's Finest Modern Band? Poll set: September 2004 As I feel the site is dominated by American bands all the time, and hey this is a UK based website, it's time to focus on the cream of British talent today. It's difficult to include all the bands that people consider the finest, so it will be the best from the shortlist provided. Personally, I consider Radiohead the winners. Which Modern Band From List Is UK's Finest? Radiohead 190 (31%) Coldplay 86 (14%) Lostprophets 62 (10%) Muse 105 (17%) Manic Street Preachers 11 (1%) Darkness 39 (6%) Funeral For A Friend 14 (2%) Ash 7 (1%) Placebo 47 (7%) None 45 (7%) 606 Total votes as of 8-Sep-05 Who Is Britain's Finest Modern Band?

So what do you really think... Darkness are the band that brought a smile to everyone's face! placebo's "plasticine" is the greatest song over!! Coldplays "Clocks" ticks my moment every time i listen to it. Manics' Richey was an awesome guitarist, though I like Coldplay as well. Manics' Richey was an awesome guitarist- huh? He was the greatest lyricist of our generation, though. Muse are Gay as theres a little band called Oasis that you semm to have forgotten ... because Oasis are not very good anymore Coldplay and Muse are like kiddies music, compared to the sophistication of Radiohead. True. What are Muse and the Darkness, and Lostprophets for god's sake, doing in this list? Fillers? Then why did Muse get equal with Radiohead? Howww...? Lostprophets, Funeral 4 A Friend, Muse .....Proper Rock Music.... What The Hell Are Placebo, Ash, MSP & The Darkness Doing There?!?!

Latest Poll: Most Irritating Rock Band Poll set: November 2003 Like an irritiating scab that you just can't ignore, there are some huge rock bands on the current scene selling millions of records, with adoring fan bases. But you just don't like them! You think they are unit-shifting souless acts created by money men in grey suits to extract the music buying public's hard earned cash. Or it's because you think the drummer is a Grade-A twat, or the singer has the most punchable face in the business... Ahem, anyway take a look and decide which band gets on your nerves the most. Who is the most irritating band at the moment? Nickelback 86 (9%) Good Charlotte 213 (23%) Limp Bizkit 194 (21%) Metallica 50 (5%) Linkin Park 67 (7%) Evanescence 90 (9%) There's too many to mention! 221 (23%) 921 Total votes as of 8-Sep-05

So what do you really think... Someone get me a gun...I can't take Nickelback anymore!!! I find all of the above bands extremely irritating and i cannot beleive that people actually like any of those bands. ROCK MUSIC IS JUST GOING THROUGH A SUCK PERIOD RIGHT NOW I met Nickelback in Dublin last year, they know fuck all about music, they actually didn't know who Thin Lizzy were, what the fuck? thats the reason I dislike the fuckers Good Charlotte and all those other pussy ass"punk" bands can suck my dick...Limp Biskit...all those assholes should just fucking DIE! OMG...Good Charlotte is what Trixter was to the 80's. Good lord when will this nu-metal fucking go away. u ppl suck those rnt metal bands its shit u crap eating fags sabbath rule foreva true metal will never die!!! More so the "punk" shit is more annoying than the nu-metal stuff. Evanescence is overhyped btw. whenever i look around, i see stupid people listening to stupid music like the above names, and i wonder, "what has the f**king world come to?!" so i ignore it and listen to my older music. Just as bad though are the "neo hippies" who think they will be rebellious and cutting edge by listening to bob marley and jimi hendrix, and having long hair, while wearing $150 shoes. i can't stand the fact that these kids are oblivious to how stupid they are. i think that punk was good, but still it never really changed anything, and the kids who go around with "subhumans" and "ramones" t shirts are trying to be rebellious while simply spending more money on hair gel and clothes from hot topic. end of story. greed, marketing, and merchandising have replaced talent and artistry. right now most music is 'manufactured' not created by artists. i don't really know how this came to be the past 5-7 yrs but it is irritating. i can't believe record executives can keep a straight face while producing this crap. good charlotte is nothing more than another fucking trend of the whole "punk pop" shit, too many bands already sound like them they have this stupid little punk fashion and they dont sound an inch like punk and i cant believe i liked that limp biskit shit. yeah im listening to the old stuff. i think all the band above are great bands, but i think the least popular of them could be Evanescence, they couldnt do anything good without paul mccoy. 'bring me to life' was excellent, apart from that everything else was kinda crap - Daysra.com GOOD CHARLOTTE IS THE MOST IRRITATING BAND AROUND. THEIR LYRICS SUCK BIG TIME.EVEN A THIRD GRADE STUDENT COULD WRITE LYRICS BETTER THAN "GIRLS DONT LIKE BOYS,GIRLS LIKE CARS AND MONEY" nirvana become big... so the moneymen in grey suits decided to cash in on rock once and for all... and now it has come to all these fecking crap! metallica WASN'T bad, but now i think they're more restricted by their labels/producers. the poll could've been longer but those are the most irritating ones. GC aren't punk, not even close! they sound like shite! i'd rather listen to the toilet bowl flush than their shallow songs bout trying to be cool and girls liking money. they probably spend more time gelling their hair till it can withstand a hurricane than to make good REAL punk music. nickelback is fecking annoying with their folkish rock radio-friendly shit. just gets on my nerves that such rubbish can be sooo big. linkin park are creative. a good dynamic band. but they are not what they call themselves - nu-metal. so much of tableturning, so little guitar and bass solos. drums evens sound unreal, sometimes so polished that it makes think that it may be programmed! ppl think evanescence are the 'darkest' band around. to hell with them. i've heard darkness, subtler and more intelligent bands than them. enough said. that(oh so popular)bombastic'wake me'song with just the right mix of soft/loud ethereal rage is embarrassing. Why? who falls for this shit! Oh yea please do add the vines to that list Metallica's new CD just smacks of a band who have finally giving up trying to be as good as Iron Maiden, and have settled to sink into self-parodying nu-metal. Evanescence is not my type of music...is so dramatic...it makes me depresssiv most of the time and i want to smash my head against a wall or something! DERFINNE GERMANY Many kids who haven't heard Nine Inch Nails or other industrial bands believe that Linkin Park's the original electronic rock band. The 'cool kids' think LP's the best band, ofcourse they'll find another "best" band in the next four months considering how trendy they are. The only thing more worse than the band's whiney vocals and bad songwritting, is the fact that everyone thinks they're cool. This band, like other nu metal bands, is cashing in on the youth's ignorance towards real music Evanescence is not my type of music...is so dramatic...it makes me depresssiv most of the time and i want to smash my head against a wall or something! DERFINNE GERMANY Metallica's new CD just smacks of a band who have finally giving up trying to be as good as Iron Maiden, and have settled to sink into self-parodying nu-metal. Oh yea please do add the vines to that list that (oh so popular) bombastic 'wake me' song with just the right mix of soft/loud ethereal rage is embarrassing. Why? who falls for this shit!

The only thing more worse than the band's whiney vocals and bad songwritting, is the fact that everyone thinks they're cool. This band, like other nu metal bands, is cashing in on the youth's ignorance towards real music. linkin park is a good band and all BUT, now im sooooo goddam sick of their songs, radio plays them OVER AND OVER AND OVER!! and all their songs sound the fuckin same!!! angst this and angst that its all getting old. GC just suck and are unoriginal, i like metallica, limp bizkit suck, evanescence are overrated w/ their socalled "gothic metal" bs, the best new rock band i heard are Queens of the Stone Age, highly recomended today's music is just polished manufactured for MTV crap, that's all! Repetative annoying rapcrap metal with whining young boys and scratching records until you want to throw up. well i think all these "bands" suck and so does the person who made this website you fucking suck and nu metal is kick ass so go fuck urself I would have to say that all of the bands listed abouve are all good in thier own way but i would say that limp bizkit' song "rollin" is the most irritating song I know. I have to change the station every time it's played. Linkin Park and Nickleback are my 2 favs in the list, Metallicas old stuff is MUCH better than thier newer stuff. The girl in Evanescence I would say has a great voice even though thier songs arn't all that great, and I really don't listin to Good Charlotte all that much. All of you guys are dumb as hell. All you people do it wine about how new shit or old shit sucks and how they shouldnt play it. Why dont you get off your ass and try and make a difference. YES GO WRITE YOUR OWN STUFF... works for me The Backstreet Boys got tatoos and started using guitars and drums and now they're called Good Charlotte limp bizkit is so annoying... man... they ripped so much of the who i feel like the world becomes a much sadder place whenever a creed song is played on the radio I love Metallica:Master of Puppets so I wanna cry when I hear this HORRIBLE disgrace of the honor of being labeled as rock. I am just wondering is every new band a bunch of Jewish guys wearing buisness suits getting paid to make whatever crap the record label wants them to? Someone please beat the S*#t out of those bastards keeping the good bands from ever getting known because they can make more money if they give it hype calling it heavy metal or alternative rock. Its a disgrace to mankind... fake angst Nickleback are so crap, the riffs are so basic, and the paddlepop lion makes me want to kill someone. im getting angry just writing this limp bizkit...straight up...JUST because of Fred Durst, he's kinda like a rocker who's trying to be 'gangsta', doesnt really work out I love Metallica:Master of Puppets so I wanna cry when I hear this HORRIBLE disgrace of the honor of being labeled as rock. I am just wondering is every new band a bunch of Jewish guys wearing buisness suits getting paid to make whatever crap the record label wants them to? Someone please beat the S*#t out of those bastards keeping the good bands from ever getting known because they can make more money if they give it hype calling it heavy metal or alternative rock. Its a disgrace to mankind... linkin park got stoned off in dublin supporting Matalica wtf are they doing in the same poll as them. Personally im a koRn lover, but linkin park..ughh....No comment Nu Metal Fucking Sucks Heavy Metal Rules All of them suck except Metallica, Metallica are way above them all and it's wrong that they're on there! I chose Good Charlotte and i HATE nu metal!!! Metallica are incredible!!! hey man i am new to this whole new poll thing but the fact that metallica was on this one really pisses me of because they are the foundation that all these other pussy wanna be bands like avril lavigne and good charlotte to walk on now think about that one people who make up dumb polls like this something about fred pisses me off It's a real shame that rock had to turn out this way. The bands mentioned above should not be classified as "rock", they should be classified as "shit". I do not know how or why people can spend money on this garbage. Rock n Roll bands like Led Zeppelin and Floyde actually had a unique sound and had something to say. hey sum 41, nobody cares about the girl that dumped you last week,alright! And if anyone from good charlotte is reading this right now, i just want you to know that you suck and you have no talent at all and If I ever meet you, I will take pleasure in personally slitting each one your throates. Lets bring classic rock back!!! Good Charlotte are definitely the biggest poseurs in the business today. It's too bad that some of those faggots have the nerve to disgrace the genre built by The Clash and The Sex Pistols by trying to include themselves in it. Metallica hasn't made a decent album in years and sold out big time. I agree with everyone here i love anything from clasic rock to black metal i am also in love with true punk like the ramones and the misfits and fuck all of though fucking poser pop punk bull shit i also love grunge bands like allice in chaines and Nirvana so metallica used to kick serious ass until they sold out oh well fuck em peace out (smoke a joint)! :) WHY CAN'T U LOSERS GET LIVES? ALL YOU PPL PISS ME OFF!!!!! DO ANY OF YOU EVEN HAVE ARE BRAINS?? ARE YOU BORN STUPID ?? I'M TOO PISSED OFF TO TYPE ANYTHING ELSE I haven't seen a good band emerge since the 90's. Maybe it's me :) LImp Bizkit are so sh*t. i mean, they are an insult to nu-metal. Oh, and Linkin Park and Nickelback and Evenescene are NOT irratating God, I hate Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, and all these other new gay bands with their whiny-voiced singers, who all dress like they are punk, but they play bubblegum pop rock. Yeah, what's with all this new music. I can't name one good artist that's come out of this decade yet, save perhaps Mindy Smith who may be more country than rock. I can name various bands from all the past decades, but I'm stumped. After Interpol you guys just sort of hit a bit of a dry spell. What happened to the grunge/eclectic sound of old? Where did that old folk sound go? Where's the story? The original punk band is green day. That pretty much says it all. I've yet to see one decent punk band come out of this decade though. Most of them don't make punk music, they just whine into a mike with their whiny, feminine voices. And what's with all this girlfriend stuff? My girlfriend this, my girlfriend that. You know what dude, I could give a rat's *** about your girlfriend. What happened? (waving finger disapprovingly) And what's with Evanescence? I don't need help being bored or another reason to kill myself. Linkin Park is just annoying. Metallica is over rated. Rammstein puts you to shame. Nickelback isn't that good. Good Charlotte is just more whiny trash. Limp has some bright spots, but they're not in my top five. What happened? What happened? First thing you punk bands need to do is fire your singer. Find someone with a more masculine voice, such as Art Alexakis or even Gavin Rossdale. Hey, even Johny Reznick. Then make some better music. Perhaps you could take lessons from someone like David Gilmore or Billy Corgan or even the guys from A Perfect Circle. Next, learn to make a story for your albums and your band. Perhaps you should see the much hated ICP to learn how to do that. People want myth and legend. And finally, forget everything I just said because you're not getting any better. You just think about what I've said tonight when you go to sleep in your silk covered beds, staring out of the third floor of your mansion near the California coast with that hot blonde next to you. (finger waving continues) (immature boos and taunts complimenting finger waving motions) .) most annoying lyric of the current decade: "I hate everything about you. Why do I love you?" I've never seen a more retarded lyric than this one that I've been hearing over the radio. I think it is the perfect example of the kind of bad lyrics I am hearing today. First of all if you hate her then you obviously don't love her. Secondly, thanks for sharing. (heavy sarcasm) Here's another example of something to stay clear of. Second most annoying lyric of the current decade: "...to change who I used to be... and the reason is you." First of all, people don't change. Secondly, I've heard this one way too many times in real life. Get your own material. .) Well, I think everyone is angry at me now so my job here is done. And I wouldn't leave my fan's without a little food for thought. Think about these three incompatible statements- God is Omnipotent God is Omnibenevolent Evil Exists

Is Nu-Metal actually any good? Poll set: January 2003 This poll was created for the Nu-Metal Guide on this site, to gauge a reaction to the latest rock trend to capture the public's imagination. And judging by the results to date, it's pretty much 50/50 spilt. I'm sure as the years pass, the result will favour a resounding NO, when the kids grow up and realise their misjudgement.... Is Nu-Metal actually any good? Yes! It's great music 448 (41%) No! I cannot stand it 486 (44%) I really don't care 149 (13%) 1083 Total votes as of 28-Sep 2004

So what do you really think... Like any other music, metal is constantly changing and using influences from other genres to facilitate this process. It happened in the 80's when N.W.O.B.*.M (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) fused the metal of the 70's (most prominently Black Sabbath) with punk sounds to get bands like Iron Maiden and early Slayer. It happened again in the early 90's when bands like Pantera ditched their high pitched wailings and tight pants, went to a couple death metal shows and developed into what we know today as thrash/speed. UN)fortunatly its happening again, only this time thrash/speed is being fused with rap - gaining turntables and losing solos. This being said, Nu metal blows, and really isn't metal at all. Just because a genre is formed by mixing metal with something else doesnt mean it necessarily follows that the newly formed genre must be metal. Take Metallica. Somewhere after justice for all, Lars and co decided to blend heavy metal with pop, the result being load, reload, etc. Would anyone seriously consider calling these albums metal if the band who produced it wasn't metalica? Obviously not. How can we tell then, if a new musical mixture that uses metal as an influence is indeed metal or if it is something else altogether. That is the heart of the issue as I see it. I would submit that the best way to decide is to go ahead and recognize the existing genres that are in direct opposition to metal (ie. the one's we're always makign fun of, looking down upon, etc) and realize that any blend of metal and these genres must by definition cease to be heavy metal. As far as I can tell rap has ALWAYS been first on the list of undesirables for any true metalhead, rivaled maybe only by pop (although this new shit heralded by the Vines or whoever they are is a serious contender!) After the obvious blends have been eliminated it boils down to a subjective opinion of general attitude/philosophy; whether or not the attitudes associated with the mixing genre correspond with the attitudes of metal. I'll leave you with a short example: Punk's "who gives a fuck" attitude meshed real well with 80's metal's "fuck you" attitude, in much the same way that death metal's "I fucking hate you" also corresponds. On the other hand, pop's "Fuck is a bad word" attitude and rap's "Fuckin' forty inch rims" ...well you get the picture. Metal is a realease from the same old songs that winge on about the same thing that has been written a thousand times before and preformed by talentless pansies who couldn't EVEN write their own shite! pop/dance, rnb/rap all the same shit! just recycled passionless, meaningless music. With nu-metal it might not always be good music but its real music, Unbeliveably its written by the preformers! Is it wrong to feel something when you listen to music! Keep your moranic opinions to yourself and i'll keep mine! you emotional brain-dead crippels!!! Nu-metal is cheap. Rock musicians have allways made efforts to be innovative even within their own genres. Is Nu-metal innovative? No! It's easy! Like punk was, but punk was innovative in the 7ties... King Crimson was more of a new millenium innovative band in the late 6ties then Nu-metal will ever be!!! But what I hate most is their image! We're so tough! yeah! (Have you ever even heard of Emperor or Mayhem (if you want to discuss some crazy shit?!) Stevie Wonder shows more Balls in his music then Fred Durst ever will! Besides, Alternative my ass! ! ! Nu-metal... pigfood! What does the 'NU' in Nu-metal stand for? Naughty underwear? New ulcer? Not unique? Nacho universe? Anyway, the music suks, but the good thing is, that it might be a stepping stone for some! Due to it's lack of inventivity this music actually reaches the charts! And millions of people that would have never appreciated the sound of an electric guitar in overdrive are listening to it! Eventually, some of them will walk into a music store and buy an early 80' metallica album or something by My dying bride or Paradise lost... or whatever classic band you like! Nu metal as music stinks, but it opens doors to higher levels!!! but that's the only credit they get... They the worst rappers and the worst metallers thrown together, I wonder why dr. Dre got himself recording a song with these monkeys from limp bizkit? Well he made a lot of cash... I can describe nu-metal. It's a pile of shit and waste of electricity for all of us environmentally conscious yet music loving Americans (Notice I don't even consider the term nu-metal worth the respect of a proper capitalization). We dont want to hear our airwaves and energy watts wasted on your trendy hipster "im in style, get with the program" shit. You claim to speak out against trends yet speaking out against supposed "trends" has become a trend in itself and you're totally contradicting yourselves. I'm sick of people saying "Well yeah, I'm a headbanger but some of that new stuff is cool". Make up your fucking minds and decide for yourself what is good and stop following trends that MTV shoves down your throat and calls nu-metal. HAHAHA! Slipknot? Why are you dissin' Slipknot? What would you say - I'm talking to the fags who wank off male dogs on their spae times - if I told you Morbid Angel and Deicide and whatever else shitty band out there couldn't play a proper tune even if it jumped up and bit them in the ass? What would you say? Would you call me a "mallcore, teeny-boppin', little kid"? I betcha you would, too! Who the fuck cares what you like. You probably take it up the ass by nine guys with small dicks, and I still wouldn't care that your a fag! Hell, you could be Satanic, and not even know who the fuck Satan is. That doesn't mean your ferior or superior to me. So, drop the act and accept the fact that everyone has a right to like what they like, and also have the right to express what they like (even if it IS Linkin Park, which I happen to like). However, I don't assume anyone has any right to diss another's band. That's the most low down piece of shit thing anyone can do. You call nu-metal shit? Well, so are you if you are knocking it in an offensive way. So, peace out and I hope you mature a little. Stay (sic), my fellow maggots! Nu-Metal is the worse type of Music i've ever heard, i find it a coincidince that the exact kids that like Korn, Slipknot, Mudvayne, etc, etc. Don't like N'sync or Backstreetboys, considering that all of them are Pop-acts. If a mallcore kids try to tell me Slipknot and Korn aren't Pop they fail. The type of crappiness/lack of talent needed to be in a Nu-Metal band in unbelieveable. Nu-metal isn't hard to play so thats why it is so popular...many people can start playing guitar knowing that nu-metal isn't hard to play....but it still sounds good! It's much harder to play speedmetal or deathmetal than nu-metal....it has given a chance to many people at start playing guitar...including me!! Nu-metal: an attempt by the commercial music industry to fool kids aged between 11 and 17 into believing that they're alternative and they're not part of the commercial scene. Utter bollocks. I am a very gib metal fan, but come on this nu-metal sux balls. I am only 15 but i wished i was 15 back in the early nineties that was the best, i really hope a new breed of alt bands break out so they can carry the torch away from bands like STP or Bush beuz they wont be around forever. Nu-Metal takes no talent, Though i admit i am a fan of some nu-metal bands. But theres no thought put into the lyrics nor he music, nothings abstract. In turn makes it very Boring and straight-forward. Really in the truth i only like couple of nu-metal bands. Bands such as Korn, Deftones, Tool, Incubus, and that kind of music. But why are shitty bands like Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach, Slipknot in the popular part? And send abuses to Fred Durst please, Thank You haha look at you silly little keenos getting hot and bothered about jackshit. All the old skool metal fans are never going to accept nu-metal as they are stuck in the past.There is some good Nu-metal stuff out there if you dont just dive straight into limp dick (to be honest limp bizkit are shit). Oh and how can you classify nu-metal? something new that is not punk? hmmm curious about your views einstein. nu metal on the whole is a big pile of wank. only afew songs stand out. "WATCH ME DROP E TO D AS NORMAL POWER CHORD FORMATIONS CONFUSE ME" said one nu metal guitarist to another. all you nu metallers, go listen to some real metal. and deal with your so called "issues" i AM A PSYCHO IN THE SCHOOL AND BECAUSE THAT NU-METAL(SYSTEM OF A DOWN) IS BEST IN THE WORLD,BEST THAN METAL BUT NOT BEST THAN A PUNK.ITS CRAZY,GOOD,MUSIC,LYRICS and RYTHME.TO ALL SICKERS AND FANS OF SLIPKNOT IN THE ALL PLANET FROM MARKO IN ZAGREB,SIGET&FOLKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SLIPKNOT rocks 4ever respect to all us maggots and stay sic man I THINK NU-METAL REALLY ROCKS.I LOVE SLIPKNOT.NU-METAL IS HERE TO STAY WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT... Good site to all thoose Nu Metal pussies go listen to some Emperor or Morbid Angel before you say Slipknot is metal. nu-metal sucks. it requires very little musical ability and sounds poor. no guitar solos is the worst part, and a lot of the "singing" is really screaming/shouting/whatever. No offence to any nu-metal fans - a lot of my friends are also into it, but I think it's a step down from the true heavey metal sound of the 70s/80s Nu-metal isn't hard to play so thats why it is so popular...many people can start playing guitar knowing that nu-metal isn't hard to play....but it still sounds good! It's much harder to play speedmetal or deathmetal than nu-metal....it has given a chance to many people at start playing guitar...including me!! Nu-metal only 4 U! And I say it in my language....Nu-metal on parasta metallia koko maailmassa...sitä on helppo soittaa ja se on napakkaa powersointu jynkkyä...That's the way I'like it!! Nu-Metal, Rap-Rock, and Rap are not music, and shouldn't be classified as such. They are missing the melodic component to music, so they can be considered only 1/2 music. Rhythm alone is not music. The term "Nu-metal" is bullshit. It's either metal or it's not. Bands who try to shape their music based on a specific genre like "Nu-metal", have no room to evolve as artists. PUNK,SKA,HARD-CORE,BLACK METAL,GRIND,CCCROSSOVER,HEAVY METAL................... I am a piece of cheese REALLY, I AM A PIECE OF CHEESE!!!!! VUUUF!! IM AN ALIEN! NO GOD DAMNIT!!! IM A DOG!!! SLIPKNOT rocks 4ever respect to all us maggots and stay sic man If your'e 555 them im 666 slipknot rules by sk8er girl slipknot rocks

Who's your favourite band in 2002? Poll set: March 2002 There have always been popularity contests between bands. Exactly who are the most popular band at the moment? The flavour of the month rock artists were grouped together to find out if the obvious would come top. And the results were.....fairly predictable. Linkin Park polled a huge percentage but were narrowly beaten by Tool. And once again, Limp Bizkit just cannot do well in these polls. I thought they were supposed to be the "biggest" rock act on the planet, but maybe the backlash has already started. Who is your favourite rock band in 2002? Slipknot 104 (9%) Linkin Park 166 (14%) Tool 254 (21%) System Of A Down 191 (16%) Staind 64 (5%) Limp Bizkit 33 (2%) Other 343 (29%) 1155 Total votes as of 8-Sep-05

So what do you really think... Linkin Park rule Linkin Park definitely ruled, everybody loves them. And if people would play more Good Charlotte, they would br just as good if not better. I think everybody should play more Good Charlotte stuff (hin, hint). It aint about the bands its about the music and linkin park got the sounds linkin park rules-come on-they even got the pop listners listening to them!!!!!!!! Can a Black man like Alternative? Hell ya All these bands are good, but Linkin park is the SHIT CRANK IT UP FUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!! Linkin Park kick ass. Dis is for all da dipshits who only like them cos of da intro to In da end go away & listen 2 ur shitty pop & dance! Well it's pretty obvious with Linkin Park selling the most records of any group in 2001. But it's even more amazing that they're not some gay crap like Britney Spears or N*Stynk. Linkin Park kicked ass all year round. Linkin Park has some new stuff coming out and It may be different, from their usual stuff, but its still good music LP is the new hottest fukkn alternative group out there!!!!!!!!!!!! Tool rule what a fag list ! , get tool the fuck out of that list !!!! Tool Fuckin Rules. The rest of those bands are shit. Tool is intelligent music unlike the music created by the rest of those bands. Don't write Tool between those filthy other "nu-metal" bands. Tool is intelligent music, the others aren't... How can you compare an intelligent band like Tool with the linear formulaic music of Linkin Park? T00L kicks the shit out of all of the other listed bands, except for maybe SOAD. They've got more songwriting ability than all those other nu-rock, faggot bands combined. I don't even consider Slipknot music since they've got no sense of timing of song arrangement. [unless you want to consider all the growling, screaming and painful, out-of-tune chords they try to play -Ooooh, scare me!] TOOL is the best band in the world, once i heard the track 'Stinkfist' i was totally hooked to death on Tool. It will be the best band ever in my life no denying Maynard James Keenan is god. I also like Deftones, Rage Against The MAchine, Nirvana, Korn, Incubus they kick ass as well. SOAD are a pretty good band, but i wouldnt say there the best band...sorry. I am not suprised Limp Bizkit are last because Fred Durst has ripped off Chino of Deftones SSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO badly, and he stinks like a binman, heh heh, whats so funny as well is that he tries to be the new maynard when he cant even sing a thing. Linkin Park is one band i USED to like but when you look back, you think whys the guitarist just strumming the guitar once in a chorus, or why does Rob Shinoda thinks hes hard?, why cant chester Bennington sing live?, etc I either way will always be a Tool fan till i die. TAZ Wow...Tool and Linkin Park are Tied...Linkin Park is no competition for Tool... System of a Down is the crappiest band i've ever heard in my life, Linkin Park is 2nd crappiest, Tool is THE SHIT! Don't talk shit about deftones or tool!!!! I totally agree with the people who say that TOOL is the best (alternative) Rock band in the world, but to be honest I think that it's not fair, because there's no music that you can compare with TOOL. Some bands try to copy their style, but I think they shouldn't even try, because they only make a fool of themselves. The problem is that, once you're a TOOL-fan, every other rock bands sucks!!! I've been really fortunate and I've been blessed to see TOOL play three times here in Holland and the way how they play and the show they give were really impressive. Buy their records and go see their shows! So DON'T download there songs using Kazaa or similar progs.....Just go out and buy it!!! TOOL is by far the greatest band....they have a lot of music that comes from deep within them...Maynard has the only voice like that....people try to mimic TOOL but it will never happen because they are one of a kind...so all of you faggot bands out there such as Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Coal Chamber can go suck a dick cause your all gay and you need to realize that hard rock doesnt have anything to do with the shit you all call music....its nothing more than screaming and none of you guys know how to play the instruments, its just trying to copy everyone else....and what about rap...rap sucks ass....its all nigger music...so i think everyone of you rappers can go and jump off a fucking cliff because your not wanted you are just a bunch of poor niggers trying to sound like you have money....we dont want you and we never did...and i do agree that system of a down doesnt make any sence and they suck huge wanker! what the hell is your problem all of those bands except tool are talentless or aren't real pure "rock" so get things in your head right and go with the real rock bands not shit like that plz define "greatest" if by biggest selling, then lp. if by good, then i tool System Of A Down rule system of a down is the beeeessssttt!!!forever,big kiss !!!!martina_croatia THE ONLY BAND WORTH MENSIONING IS SYSTEM OF A DOWN....THE OTHER BANDS ARE BULLSHIT Yeah the only reason pop listeners listen to linkin park at all is because Linkin Park IS fucking pop. every song has a fucking hook. SYSTEM OF A DOWN RULES!! linkin park are shit!! System of a down rules!! but deftones are the fucking best Oh my god. Linkin Park? Thats wrong. The only bands up there worth the title are SOAD and Tool. Those bands have real talent. Anyone can put depressing lyrics together, gain 9 members, and have no creativity and call hemselves musicians. TWENTY people voted for Limp Bizkit?! Idiots! What the hell is this world coming too?! Vote for System of a Down or Tool, please! (or any of the others, better than Limp Dick) or... or... ALAN JACKSON! (wait, just kiddin' guys) LOVED THE SITE, OH MAKER! Slipknot rule slipknot is the only band on this poll that is metal JUST THE OTHER DAY SOME BICTH FROM A LOCAL TV SAID THAT COREY TAILOR WAS BEATEN DEATH TO BY SOME FANS .I NAERLY HAD AN HEART ATTACK!! TODAY I VIST THE WEB AND FIND NOTHING.THANK GOD ,THAT SHIT AIN'T TRUE. BY THE WAY SLIPKNOT RULES!!! Come on! Slipknot were the only band that mattered last year. Iowa is too good I found that you like to crack on having nine members in a band and you basically said they didnt have a beat...fuck off assholes...slipknot rules Staind rule Staind did rule and always will~!! I think that linkin park sucks and should be like limp bizkit and have 3%. staind ROCKS staind is the shit i went to the concert and it was the shit. nirvana kicksass finch does too. get into spanish rock because they r starting a new revolution with lucybell,mana,jaguares, many more. too many fukin comercial bands get the fuk out. the all american rejecyts r good listen to the m,usic the beats and instruments they are definately not posers. the deftones have only one good song named mascara. linkin park dont get me wrong good band just too commercialized so thats why they suk ass. Limp Bizkit rule (er, maybe...) Come on man! vote Limp Bizkit, Fred Durst is going to be the next Kurt Cobain. Daysra.com General Comments what about incubus. best album to be released in the 21st century is morning view by incubus. if you've ever been to an incubus concert you know what im talking about. most talented band out there. Blind Guardian. Of course you have to think while listening to them, so it isn't for everyone. :) Godspeed You Black Emperor! What a Joke?? This poll should headline: 'Best MTV N-Metal group'.. SEEK NEW MUSIC AND YOU SHALL FIND. MUSIC IS MORE THAN MTV!!! I Think my 2002 favorite was Nightwish (from Finland) Rage Against the Machine. Has been for the last 3 1/2 years. They were ten times as good as almost any band today. FUCK THESE BANDS. I cannot believe that people are actually voting for these goddamn bands. What the hell is wrong with you? There are no songwriting capabilities in Tool, there are no songwriting capabilities in SoaD EITHER. These bands are all flamboyant jokes. Give me my Satyricon, my Strapping Young Lads. Radio crap will be flushed and 'shat'upon. the only reason people say that soad, lp, staind are bad is cuz some preppy people like them... if u actually give them a chance, especially soad, u will see how grest they are... soads first album kicks ass... limp bizkit sux... always has always will. i dont see y neone likes them... i cant believe people still do Nu-metal is not good. The only reason it's going to last is becasue so many bands keep copying each other's style. Even worse, they're copying bands that aren't that good to begin with. The only band that i actually like from the list is System of a Down. But i like the previous SoaD. Toxicity was good and all but it lacked the stuff their s/t had. And don't get me started on Steal This Album. They should have tried a lot harder. but when i first heard System 5 years ago and then heard Toxicity, i can tell you, things went down. They are great live, but that's only b/c they have a lot of energy and not a lot of gimmicks. all i can say is fuck limp bizkit, tool and soad are fucking cool. dont really know slipknot thoTWENTY people voted for Limp Bizkit?! Idiots! What the hell is this world coming too?! Vote for System of a Down or Tool, please! (or any of the others, better than Limp Dick) or... or... ALAN JACKSON! (wait, just kiddin' guys) LOVED THE SITE, OH MAKER! Everyone has their own taste in music. The real bands aren't really around anymore. It's not how fast their lyrics are, it's how they reach out to their audience or fans. Like Nirvana, Metallica, Creed or Ozzy. Those are great bands. I disagree with Creed being a great band...I hate their stuff. Way too over-rated. Who cares if he puts his heart into it? It's still overrated in my eyes. System of a Down's music makes no sense, IMO. I like underground music mostly, stuff like Strung Out. Tool or Ozzy can be okay every once in awhile what about fugazi - the most important band in the world? all the commerciel bands are shit!! Listen to deftones and you'll hear the difference!! Linkin Park is a boy band, Nirvana and Pearl Jam are it!!! They started ROCK!! Linkin Park suck, System Of a Down are alright, Pear Jam and Nirvana are the shit!! all these bands suck and can't play - foo fighters totaly rule alongside with the alkaline trio and eve6!!!- so all of you freak wanna bes- mtv rules assholes wouldn't know good music even if it smacked them straight in their face, an dthey should just go back to listening to what ever pink -pop- instroment free music that's showing on tv! 3% for limp? God those guys suck ass. They shouldn't have gotten any votes. My ass can fart out better fucking tunes than those guys. fuk tool and fuk deftones shit they can't even keep asteady beat. By the way why the fuck ain't COAL CHAMBER up there they're the ones that should be gettin the props along with SLIPKNOT and NIRVANA !!!Shit those three wiped everyone else clean off the damn table! I think y'all get the point . I'm out, 3:16 to all the tru FOLKS still thugg'n!!!!!!!!!!!!! slipknot sucks, linkin park sucks stained sucks, and escepially limp bizkit sucks, nu metal can go to straight to hell INCUBUS! (and SOAD and TOOL!!) lalalala All the bands here get old really fast, put some good bands on next time. what a fucking selection! all the bands on this list suck ass. they are all a bunch of nu metal fools i tell you! 2002 what a disappointing year for 'rock' Give me my Satyricon, my Strapping Young Lads. Radio crap will be flushed and 'shat'upon. T00L kicks the shit out of all of the other listed bands, except for maybe SOAD.
