Sign in to disble this ad
Strange question, but I was listening to WAAF on Friday while I was shoveling my driveway, and Mudshovel by Staind (a band I've always despised because I thought the lead singer whined to much, but this song caught me.) came on and I found myself boppin' about to it while I worked.
It leads me to the question, are there any metal songs off the top of your heads that groove such that they make you want to dance? Let's get a list of tracks going.
P.S. I know Staind isn't really hard metal per se (nu-metal? I hate categorizing music, but hey), but it's hard rock/metal enough for me (any songs you can think of...don't worry about specific metal or hard rock genre).

| | | | There's tons. All I can think of right now is Psychostick (which isn't your every day metal to begin with) and I think Nonpoint has some every once in a while.
System of a Down has a song or two like that, too. So do some of these annoying, post-nu-metal-hardcore-pop-whatever bands with their singers that sound like women but in fact are men. I'm talking about bands like Chiodos, which are popular with the kiddies these days. |

Most of there more popular songs groove | I love and regularly listen to progressive death metal and black metal. Pantera is fine...it doesn't matter how hard the music is, I just want it to make you want to shake it.

System of a Down - Almost everything they've done. I have a theory that it's possible to do the twist to pretty much anything these guys do.

| | | | Mudvayne.
It's Metal, with a lot of complicated tempo changes, and the bassist has a heavy funk style
to his playing. Go and listen to "Nothing To Gein" It's pretty good.

Ditto Megadeth's Sweating Bullets.
