10 Rock Albums You Constantly Have To Defend Loving

Let's talk about Fred Durst. We can all agree, Durst got a little too big for his boots after the wild success of Limp Bizkit. Whereas the other members saw Limp Bizkit as an excuse to exercise youthful male energy, Durst conducted himself as if he was the next Zack de la Rocha. His band certainly had the energy of Rage Against the Machine, and there's no denying they got the kids fired up, but his lyrics were sorely lacking in the same substance as the king of rap rock.

Now that we've got that out the way, let's admit how entertaining this sh*t was. You had fat, grinding guitar riffs, massive bass lines, and lyrics - that when chanted - served as the perfect form of stress relief.

Even the most ridiculous track Hot Dog - which hears Fred Durst espouse how dope he is for saying f*ck 46 times in his "fucked up rhyme" - is hella enjoyable. The rest of the album reads like a best-of list of early 2000s alt-rock: My generation, My Way and Rollin' were played constantly throughout the decade, and we all indulged in it.
