Hipster types have unfairly maligned the band for its supposed role in helping foment the stain that was nü metal. But hey, can the group help it if so many Korn imitators really liked it? In any event, the band's 2000 watershed crossover album, White Pony, still holds up as a testament to the fact that progressive, heavy music can sometimes boast broad appeal without dumbing down. The latest Deftones disc, Diamond Eyes, is further proof of that. Critics and fans are eating it up, and the album even penetrated the Billboard Top 20.

If that's still not enough for the snobs, consider this: Savannah sludge-metal titan Baroness is slated to open. Imagine how that will sound in an enclosed theater with the Fillmore's killer P.A.
