I saw them at ozzfest in 99 before I knew who they were.

I listened to SOAD for the first time (Toxicity) at a blue collar job in 2002. A coworker brought it and I remember I had to literally stop working and sit next to the boombox when Forest started playing. I always liked old school metal and disliked nu metal and I figured SOAD was like Limp Bizkit or Korn.
I need to listen to sime SOAD now!
Man... listening to BYOB 20 years after it got released and the lyrics still fit. It's heartbreaking.
