Prodigal Songs - Heavy Pettin'

Advantages: Heavy meaningful rock with some of the best songs around
Disadvantages: Because they’re famous they ‘sold out’.. uh?

...Korn were in my opinion the pioneers of nu-rock, and if not that, they were surely the guys who opened the floodgates for a lot of the heavy bands you hear today. I remember around the time of the release of Freak On A Leash, Korn was on everybodies lips, grain farmers were loving the attention. (sorry, I couldn’t resist just one!)
