10 Classic Music Albums That Will Make You Love Nu Metal

10. Sinner - Drowning Pool

There are probably a bunch of people who only remember Drowning Pool these days for the memes. As much as people may have liked their songs back in the day, this felt more like the band that was meant to soundtrack walkouts on WWE and nothing more. And while they may have a point, Drowning Pool gave us something that we hadn't heard in nu metal before: fun.

Though not every song was a ray of sunshine or anything, the grooves on here are a lot more sticky that you probably remember, with Dave Williams having an impressive shout on him at the best of times. Around this time was where nu metal was first starting to find its swagger, and you can hear that Dave is looking for something a little more than just moaning about his unhappy childhood.

Granted, there is still a bit of hilarity that comes with listening to something like Bodies these days, especially with the kind of Monster energy stamina that's going on in the video. This was the start of something good though, only for the band to take a bit of a dip in quality once Williams tragically passed away a few years after this album was released. This might be far from the best that nu metal has to offer, but this at least showed potential for the angry white boy set to actually have some fun every now and again.
