You really can't go wrong with Slipknot. I will defend them to the death, even on MB. For Korn I would get either Follow the Leader or Untouchables. Linkin Park should just be avoided all together. I mean seriously, I hate them.
I'm hoping this doesn't spark an argument, but just so you know Slipknot is not nu metal (MAYBE their first album) so I wouldn't group them that way. It is quite unfortunate they came out when they did...there is a lot of talent in that band.
Static-X is a good recommendation to you as well (via hip hop bunny).
I honestly can't think of any "essential" nu metal albums though. I don't really think any of it is worth your time.
