Yeah, I never had any Limp Bizkit CDs I had a couple Korn and Deftones CD but that was as far as rolled with Nu Metal. I was way too obsessed with Dave Matthews Band in the mid to late 90s to pay too much attention to it. Plus the Mid-90s were Prime Pantera. If I wanted to get all aggro that was where I usually turned.

Deftones RULE! (and are not NuMetal FYI).
 
What some forget is that nu metal doesn't explicitly need to include hip hop elements to be considered nu metal. But also, as with Deftones, some bands move away from certain sounds. Silverchair did the same. They're a grunge band in many people's eyes, though they moved to the opposite end of the musical spectrum in the back half of their career.

I find it impossible that anything but Mr. Brightside would be someone's starting point. That song was inescapable.

I think Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine was where I first encountered them. Still think it’s the best song they ever did. The first half of Hot Fuss and most of Sam’s Town I find enjoyable but Day & Age lost me completely and bar the odd single there’s been nothing I’ve heard since that’s ever felt that interesting.

Pretty much this for me. I do actually own Day and Age, but it was definitely a drop off. I don't think I've ever listened to anything after that though, so I've got no opinions on what they've done since.
 
I had probably heard MR Brightside but I did not know it was the Killers. There was some song that was ubiquitous from Day and Age and that was when I became aware of who they were. I liked Battleborn okay. Wonderful Wonderful is when I stopped paying attention. I did really enjoy Flowers’ second solo album when he went full Springsteen.

I think Runaways off Battleborn might have been one of those songs that piqued my interest down the years before the album lost me again.
