on this day, 20 years ago, Korn released it's Follow the Leader album and Kid Rock released Devil Without a Cause.

Both went on to be Nu-Metal / Rap-Rock classics!!!

Edit: actually, it was August 18th, 1998

20 years since the shittiest 90s albums came out? Wow.

8/22/2018 1:26:54 PM

Come on man, that was a very predictable response. You can do much better.

8/22/2018 1:28:30 PM

One of my major political platforms will be putting all of the nu metal turntable guys back to work.

8/22/2018 2:16:26 PM

Big4Country probably still has these in rotation.

8/22/2018 2:19:38 PM

I mean, I'm in agreeance that they're both pretty terrible, but you're saying they're both even shittier than Ricky Martin, Hanson, Smash Mouth, Spice Girls, Color Me Badd, Shania Twain.....

8/22/2018 2:22:03 PM

Spice Girls and Shania Twain don’t belong with the rest of those. they were the best at what they were.

anyways

Yes, those two are worse than all those you listed

[Edited on August 22, 2018 at 2:43 PM. Reason : And I hated Ricky Martin with a passion, but without him we don't get William Hung]

8/22/2018 2:42:41 PM

Some would argue that Korn and Ricky Martin "were the best at what they were", that's pretty subjective.

(I didn't hate the Spice Girls, but I can't stand Shania Twain)

8/22/2018 2:45:24 PM

Korn is fucking terrible.

8/22/2018 2:46:18 PM

Shania Twain has sold over 100 million records and has been ridiculously influential

put some goddamn respect on her name

8/22/2018 2:48:35 PM

Kid Rock made Sheryl Crow a star.

8/22/2018 2:50:01 PM

nah man, she sucks hard. regardless of how many albums she sold

(lol, i can't tell if you're serious, telling me to "put some goddamn respect" to Shania Twain. If so, lol)

8/22/2018 2:50:53 PM

^^lolololol

8/22/2018 2:51:24 PM

why would I not be serious?

8/22/2018 2:54:15 PM

Because you come across as a joke with your arrogance and absolutes.

8/22/2018 2:55:44 PM

you included her in a list with Smashmouth and Color Me Badd and then proceeded to say she sucks hard

please, tell me more about arrogance

and what absolutes?

Your tone is wrong

8/22/2018 3:18:46 PM

you are projecting

8/22/2018 3:21:06 PM

what?

8/22/2018 3:33:28 PM

You can't use album sales to justify the quality of a musical performer. Nickelback has albums that have gone platinum.

8/22/2018 5:53:03 PM

I saw Korn and Kid Rock together in concert (with metallica and some others) around that general time.

8/22/2018 7:00:21 PM

I have every Kid Rock album from "Devil Without a Cause" to "Sweet Southern Sugar." Kid Rock is better as a country singer/southern rock artist than he is as a rapper. Rock & Roll Jesus, Born Free, and First Kiss are his best albums.

8/22/2018 7:50:29 PM

^^^

did I say that’s the only metric to judge the quality of an artist?

you also don’t sell 100 million records by sucking. she’s a hugely influential pop artist.

this is also a friendly reminder that you don’t have to be a fan of something to appreciate it’s impact. it’s totally ok to admit that you don’t like something without saying it sucks.

(to be clear, it's just my opinion that Shania Twain's songs are terrible. I don't deny that she is talented. I realize my opinions are subjective, unlike some people.)

8/23/2018 12:06:02 PM

Going to see Kid Rock in Raleigh tomorrow. Can't wait! Should be awesome!

8/31/2018 7:11:00 PM

Awesome show! He played 4 songs off of Devil Without A Cause, 3 off of Cocky, and none off of First Kiss, so he kind of went old school tonight.

9/2/2018 12:01:58 AM

I am glad you had fun at the Kid Rock concert B4C.

9/6/2018 3:59:56 PM

looks like B4C may have “hooked up”

9/13/2018 12:50:12 PM

You seem to think b4c is "young"

9/13/2018 1:02:24 PM

LOL

9/13/2018 1:17:58 PM

LOL! That wasn't me. I had never seen Kid Rock in concert before this year at the Creek. Great show though.
