Nice video Varpis! I didnt know what buttrock was going into this but pretty much had it completely figured out by the 1 minute mark. Ive always mentally called this roadtrip rock, because i wouldnt ever listen to it in my day to day but when youre on a road trip and looking for anything on the radio you find a station with this stuff and you're like "yeah i can listen to breaking benjamin while we drive through missouri!" Very intuitive, great content.

God i love creed

Great tier list, and CREED POWER! Like last comment, I have another band to recommend that is similar to one featured in the video, and this time it's *Red.* *Red's* basically if *Breaking Benjamin* was a bit heavier, a struggling Christian, loved to be symphonic, and have one odd Electronic phase.

Creed might be underrated on this list

To me, Breaking Benjamin and Three Days Grace are the most emo of all these bands. Their sound is definitely a lot more somber than the rest of these bands but still maintain that post-grunge/nu-metal songwriting structure. I have coined a new genre for these bands called 'butt-emo'. The guys who listen to these bands are very angsty and emotional but they also get laid, unlike fans of most emo bands.

Stained was nu metal right in line with deftones. They did have buttrock songs tho .

3 Doors Down - C Tier (They're not bad, But the music kind of bores me) Shinedown - S Tier (Brent Smith is a killer vocalist) Breaking Benjamin - B Tier (Definitely a singles band) Creed - C Tier (I like My Own Prison a fair amount, But the rest of their catalogue is inconsistent) Crossfade - C Tier (Only know the hits, And they're alright) Nickelback - C Tier (They've got some good songs, But way too much filler) Disturbed - B Tier (Good, But not super interesting) Finger Eleven - C Tier (I only know Paralyzer, One Thing, and some of their Nu-Metal tracks, So idk) Five Finger Death Punch - D Tier (Songs like Sham Pain amplified my hatred of this band) Godsmack - S Tier (First three albums slap hard, Even the later stuff isn't half bad) Hinder - F Tier (Get Stoned is a guilty pleasure, Everything else is utter garbage) Puddle Of Mudd - A Tier (Strictly based off of Come Clean, Life On Display, Abrasive, and the Stuck EP. Famous and Galvania are ok, But Volume 4 and Ubiquitous blow) Saving Abel - F Tier (Terrible Post-Grunge band, That's about it) Staind - A Tier (Dysfunction and Break The Cycle slap) Theory of a Deadman - F Tier (I already didn't like this band to begin with, But RX (Medicate) amplified that hatred tenfold) Three Days Grace - B Tier (Strictly based off of the Adam Gontier era, The Post-Adam stuff isn't very good)

Post grunge lovers unite btw I don’t care what anyone says Three Days Grace first 2 albums are some of the best ever done and I will die on this hill.

5FDP is Groove Metal/Alt Metal

No way you didn’t put breaking Benjamin right into S tier

Disturbed are nu-metal not but rock you miss buckcherry off list buckcherry are but rock

What exactly defines buttrock?

You need to increase your yarling optimacy.

These are the lame bands that killed rock and metal from being played for the next two decades allowing all the pop and rap shit to take over.

Godsmacks first album is 10/10 from start to finish, but after that they kinda fell off. They had solid singles on every album after but no album felt great from start to finish like the first one. Same with Three Days Grace, the first 2 albums absolutely bangers but kinda fell off after. I pretty much agree with your listing, except I hate Hinder, for no particular reason other than ever since lips of an angel came out I never liked it. And I was in like middleschool then.

Talking to the walls by finger eleven is a banger one of my favourite songs of all time but yeah overall mid tier
