I had to comment on the Nu-Metal piece of this post. While I agree with you, I don't think its entirely fair to paint the whole genre the same. Its comparable to thrash in 1985. I think Kerry King said

"the issue was Thrash blew up over night, and you had 100 thrash bands by 1989 and 98 of them sucked."

Fairly the same with nu-metal except we have ~200 and 4 good ones. And for what its worth, Linkin Park is the absolute worst of the worst. There have been few corporate shills larger and more obvious than Linkin Park.
