Slipknot should be studied by bands who want to enjoy a lengthy career in heavy music. Iowa’s 36-limbed wrecking machine instantly drew buzz during the nu metal takeover, donning nightmarish masks while dispensing furious music and playing incensed live shows. Then, once the shock wore off, The Nine stayed relevant with a series of musical switch-ups. Their seven albums have mined not just nu metal, but groove metal, thrash, and even pop-rock and electronica. No band releases nothing but hits, however. These are the 10 least popular songs to make it onto a Slipknot album, according to Spotify streaming numbers.
(Editor’s note: we’ve disqualified introductory tracks and instrumental interludes, like (515), along with songs from the recently released The End, So Far, because that just wouldn’t be fair.)
