10 Catchiest Rock Songs That Suck
2. Rollin' – Limp Bizkit (2000)
Nu-metal was popular for a reason: It was loud, in your face, and it didn't seem to give a damn what people thought of it. That was its appeal, and it was exciting... , if you didn't take it too seriously.
When The Offspring wrote Pretty Fly For A White Guy, there's a fairly good chance they had Fred Durst in mind. There was something infectiously amusing about watching a guy who looked like he was in his mid 30s, (un-ironically) dressed like a suburban white boy with an obsession with hip-hop culture. There does seem to be an indication that some of the guys in Limp Bizkit were playing up the whole bro thing, but Fred Durst seemed consumed by it.
Like Nickelback, Limp Bizkit have received their fair share of ridicule for their contributions to music during the 2000s. But whereas you could only suffer one or two Nickelback tracks before you wanted to have Chad Kroeger incarcerated, Limp Bizkit was more palatable. For all the criticism thrown at these guys this song still packs a punch, on the right occasion.
