25 Best Albums Of The Past Decade

23. Limp Bizkit - Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water (2000)

Chocolate+Starfish+and+the+Hotdog+Flavored+Water+1+00+FolderNotable Tracks: My Way, Livin' it Up, Boiler, My Generation Okay, Okay, look, I promise there will be better, more talented musicians to come. But, for now, I'm going to attempt to convince you why this album, or anything from Fred Durst deserves to be on this list. First of all, Mr. Durst publicly decried Creed and the megalomaniacal Scott Stapp. If those actions aren't enough to be included on this list, then I might as well leave this space blank and meaningless or replace the void with Nickelback's greatest hits. All joking aside (not really), this album epitomizes the Generation Y. "Why?" you might ask. Well, quite simply, Freddy, his oft mentioned DJ, and his gang of misfits instilled the very "*expletive* what you think!" attitude many Millennials embraced. Let's be honest, though, most of the teens who latched on to this attitude eventually grew out of it (unlike Mr. Freddy) and now look back on this album as a way of traversing through time and reinvigorating the youthful apathy we once embraced. If you're like me and you have a stressful day at work or school and need a way to ephemerally lessen your burdens, throw on a pair of overpriced headphones, play your favorite selections from this album (0r a 90's Korn album) and nod your head like there's no tomorrow. New listeners beware: the language and content in this album may shock, terrify, torture, and/or pacify you.

Hello there! I'm a graduate of FGCU (A.K.A. Dunk City!) I'm currently working on an M.A. in English Literature at Hofstra University. I'd like to eventually pursue either a M.S. in Business Administration or a Ph.D in Old English and Medieval Literature. I do thoroughly enjoy studying Old English for some mysterious reason. In my spare time, I try to keep up with well over a dozen television shows simultaneously, I frequent the local theaters, and I am an avid sports or FPS video gamer. Some of my favorite TV shows include: Dexter, The Office, X-Files, Homeland, and The Sopranos. Some of my favorite films include: The Usual Suspects, Donnie Darko, American Beauty, Fight Club, and Goodfellas. Feel free to follow me on Twitter @ndesalvo29 or e-mail any inquiries to ndesalvo29@gmail.com. Thanks for reading!
