Agree or Disagree with it?
Glad to see Bizkit's Results May Vary on here, but St. Anger by Metallica should have made this list too – I liked both bands' early material and still think these later albums were garbage.
However, Dark Horse was a MUCH worse album by Nickelback, and there's no mention of their stagnant post-grunge friends Theory of a Deadman and Hinder. Instrumentally similar, with lyrics covering "edgier" topics – like "Bad Girlfriend" and "Get Stoned".
The top 3 are awfully corny, but brokeNCYDE should be at #1 – it's not even listenable.
Also, I would have added certain extreme metal and pop acts. Overall it's a pretty good list as long as genre decay is not a factor.
For example, I'm sure there are probably grindcore fans defending "Job for a Cowboy" when most people would probably find the band… well, unappealing.
By the way, I'd love to hear about how much you think Hinder and Job for a Cowboy are better than Limp Bizkit. No not really – I understand if your tastes are different, but no need to get ugly about it.
