the best Limp Bizkit single

Surely you meant to title this poll as 'the least worst Limp Bizkit single'.

Surely you meant to post on some message board where boring received wisdom about uncool bands never fails to be upheld

i didn't learn what a "limp bizkit" is until just the other day

i don't know if my respect for the band has increased or descreased

The only non-covers I remember from this list are "Nookie", "Rollin'", and "Break Stuff". I listened to them today. Imo, the latter two are just embarrassing but "Nookie" actually sounds convincingly cold and desperate now.

"counterfeit" >>>>>

although yeah this is "re-arranged" for me

I think it's easily "Rollin"

"Behind Blue Eyes"

Limp Bizkit has not crossed my mind even once in at least ten years, but looooool-ing at myself for how angry I used to get about their popularity.

Voting for Nookie because heyyyyyyyy

so empire

Went w Re-arranged in the end

"Nookie", closely followed by "Re-arranged"

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

ROLLIN ROLLIN ROLLIN ROLLIN - we've all done that 'driving with one hand' dance at some point while ripped to the sheets on cheap smirnoff ices..

haven't we?

Clearly Break Stuff.

Does Let Me Down not count?

What about that song Crushed? Think it was on a soundtrack to something in 1999.

the beat to nookie is the most classic thing they've ever done. also the entirety of break stuff

What's the difference between white and black anyway. The way i see it, everyone is just another shade of gray, not outward, but inward. Eitherway, were all the same, and all different. Equally unique. Maybe your just one of the less forward thinking people out there, and though your intellect very low, your still equally a human being so i won't discriminate against you for being a simpleton.

Oh god, this is what the jukebox selection looks like in my own personal hell.

Last version of this was a close victory for "Rollin'," perhaps partly owing to Britisher sentiments. Wonder if ILX's hivemind has shifted much on these guys in the last six years.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

2008 results for comparison - remarkably consistent, some flips in position but nothing radically shifting here. ILM knows how it feels about "Break Stuff," I guess.

1999 "Nookie" 5
2000 "Break Stuff" 3
2000 "Re-Arranged" 3
1999 "N 2 Gether Now" (featuring Method Man) 2

goku blew 'em out of the water tbh, really a passing-the-torch moment i thought

organ in "counterfeit" underrated

first three tracks on three dollar bill y'all go so hard ... shame about the misogyny

''Hey, excuse me, sir. Are you Fred Durst?''

I've always loved "N 2 Gether Now" no shame

Throw them fingers up, and finger fuck the sky

poetry

I saw them live in 97 a couple of months before 3 dollar bill, y'all came out and counterfeit slayed

I was 12 and weighed about 100 pounds so the mosh pit was quite overwhelming

three dollar bill yall > chocolate starfish > significant other

significant other is an amazing-sounding record and i enjoy the kitchen sink parts of it, like, who would ever want a limp bizkit song with strings??? yet there is one and it rocks (“don’t go off wandering”). i think it just has one too many songs about how cool it is to be in a band (“nineteen ninety nine” vs. “show me what you got”) and “no sex” is embarrassing. “a lesson learned” is a trip-hop song

chocolate starfish feels just ever-so-slightly more accomplished musically, the songs all have interesting twists or weird harmonic things going on (cf. the riff in “rollin”). as for fred durst......... well one side effect of his limitations as a rapper and his v whiny grapplings with fame is that this record is very fucking funny. this is dedicated to you ben stiller!!!! you are my favorite motherfuckaer

one of the best rhythm sections of any rock band... ever. and dj lethal is awesome

that's pushing it imo but sam rivers is def an underrated bassist.

it's sort of an rhcp effect, fundamentally great band with a frontman i would find repellant if he weren't so central to the band's identity

borland and frusciante have a lot of overlap in both attitude and playing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42V2V5oppNg

prob an essay to be written about scott weiland's relationship with this band. i've always loved this very weird and creepy song, and i just learned that this guitar solos-averse band sorta capitulated by giving john otto a huge drum solo during the bridge of this thing

I am getting the sense that you're on a serious nu-metal / rap-rock nostalgia kick based on the collection of bands you're reflecting on across multiple threads. Or is it just confirmation bias?

i watched the movie valentine last weekend and there's a scene where a huge valentine's day party is soundtracked by orgy's "opticon," which has brought me to this point, yes

one of the best rhythm sections of any rock band... ever. and dj lethal is awesome

Brad...

why is this controversial???? i really like otto. the dj lethal productions ("n 2gether now" and "getcha groove on") are fuckin sick!

*relistens to "counterfeit"* i am correct

if everyone is chafing against "one of the best"... overstatement is my art, learn to enjoy yourselves

just learned lethal was replaced during the '10s by someone named DJ SK3L3TOR

lol

Rage Against the Machine frontman Zack de la Rocha has distanced himself from Limp Bizkit, stating that "they suck".[127]

“N 2 Gether Now” is the closest thing to cred this album has.

I’m also partial to the bassline in “rearrenged”, that’s a good one.

Fred Durst is awful throughout though

my teen friends and i were pretty up on "N 2 Gether Now," but mostly for the beat, Method Man, and the squiggley censoring effect for the chorus on MTV.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2o4GcD7X-hs

So this DJ Premier walkthrough on the build of “N 2 Gether Now” is really good and a +1 for durst

wow, that was really enjoyable. might dig into the rest of that series!

yeah that was gret

“no sex” is embarrassing

ahahaha i'm an idiot, that song is dope

haha wow would not have imagined such a song in their catalog

it's like the anthem of Clem in Crossroads (Franzen novel)
