I am currently listening to the album Greyest of Blue Skies from the Canadian band Finger Eleven. They are listed as an alternative metal band on All-Music Guide. I'm not quite sure how they might fit in here but I think that they do belong. Let me know if I can be of any help.

I was thinking that maybe alternative metal is similar to Nu Metal. Not sure if this is correct or not. But in so doing I saw that every prog fans' favorite alternative metal band Nickelback also wasn't included. I've heard them called Nu Metal before.

Finger Eleven were lumped into nu metal when I was growing up, so either that label or alternative metal is a fair label.
Nickelback, on the other hand, I don't feel belong here at all. Though you're right, I remember some magazines would lump them incorrectly as nu-metal along with a weird assortment of bands (Tool among them). I think Nickelback have toured with metal bands, and are definitely influenced by metal bands from what i've seen in interviews, but are they metal? I don't believe they are. |

Finger Eleven have been rejected for the time being, the explanation is very much the same as in the case of Alien Ant Farm: http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=449&PID=11063#11063
Thread can be closed.
