10 Most Underrated Limp Bizkit Songs

3. Nobody Like You

The team-up of Fred Durst, Korn frontman Jonathan Davis and late Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver lead singer Scott Weiland does not disappoint. On an album well known for a goofier, more humorously aggressive sound, the tortured soul style of 'Nobody Like You' is a breath of fresh air.

Inspired by the grunge style that had dominated rock throughout the early to mid-'90s, the track features all three vocalists in a dark place. Seemingly devastated by a mystery romantic partner, Weiland in particular rocks the house here, providing the song with a grim, soulful vibe.

While the track mostly serves as a showcase for the impressive line-up of frontmen, Wes Borland's imaginative guitar riffs deserve a nod here. Bringing a sense of chaos to the proceedings, Borland's at his eccentric best, reminding listeners why he's so often considered the creative soul of the group.

As the seventh track on 'Significant Other', 'Nobody Like You' functions as a centrepiece of sorts for the band's sophomore effort. 1999 was very much the year Limp Bizkit caught fire with singles like 'Break Stuff' and 'Nookie' carrying them to the top of the charts. 'Nobody Like You', despite being arguably a superior track, never got the singles treatment. More amazing still is the fact it has never been played live.

Considering Weiland's untimely passing in 2015, it's safe to say that will remain the case. This adds an almost mysterious aura to this underrated classic from the group's first mainstream mainstay LP.
