A "new/alternative" metal band from Chicago, with a lead singer, David Draimen, that is easily recognizable (due to the "tusks" that protrude from his lower lip). Some consider them hard rock, others metal. But the fact is Disturbed puts out great music during a time where the rock genre is incredibly shallow (I'm talking to you, scremo bands).
If you haven't heard much of Disturbed, here's a few of their best songs (IMO) by album.
The Sickness:
Down with the Sickness
Voices
Violent Fetish
Believe:
Remember
Rise
Prayer
Ten Thousand Fists:
Deify
Overburdened
Stricken
Sons of Plunder

"Man, I went to a Disturbed concert last night. I got beer spilled all over me, but it was fuckin' incredible! They sound the same live as they do in the studio!"

A rock band with hits such as "Down With The Sickness", "Stricken", "Guarded", "Just Stop", and "Remember", to name a few.
I'm a Disturbed fan. However, that doesn't mean I'm saying they're the best band in the world, or that other bands suck compared to them. I like them, that's it. If some people don't like them, that's fine, too. They won't "meet Satan 'cause they're goin' to hell 'cause they don't like Disturbed". Honestly, wasn't that remark a bit dumb? =/

The band which I tell Nu-Metal haters to listen to, because they rock so much.
Nu-Metal, in itself, is not that good, because people listen to the Nu-Metal bands that don't have any meaning whatsoever, such as Slipknot.
However, Disturbed, is one of the greatest Nu-Metal bands, indeed one of the greatest Metal bands in my opinion.
David Draimen (The Vocalist), has an extremely talented voice, it was as if he was born for Metal Vocalling, just listen to his opening in Down with the Sickness.
Also, Disturbed/Metal haters claim that songs have no meaning. They are wrong.
Here are just two examples:
Song: Forgiven
Album: Ten Thousand Fists.
Meaning: A soldier has just been killed in battle, but he has already forgivven his killer because he knows that he is next in line to be killed.
Song: Overburdened
Album: Ten Thousand Fists.
Meaning: A soldier, once again, has been banished to an overburdened Hell. However, he has no idea why he was there, as he was just following his leader, who's actions he thought to be just and correct.
In conclusion, I think Disturbed is the best Nu-Metal band out there, and, I think they could easily be up on the Podium with the likes of Iron Maiden and Metallica.
