Most versatile band of all time.

Hi people.
What is, in your opinion, the most versatile band of all time?
Some people say it's Queen, others say it's Frank Zappa...
But I think that no band comes even close to Linkin Park in terms of versatility. Now, if you've only listened to the first two records, you might say that I'm crazy... But after "Meteora" they started experimenting a lot, and I mean A LOT.
I'll give you some examples. Listen to these songs:

"War"
"H! Vltg3"
"Pushing Me Away" (2007 Live Version)
"The Messenger"
"The Catalyst"
"Until It's Gone"
"Skin To Bone"
"New Divide"

Just to name a few.
They go from Metal to Hip-Hop, alt. rock, electronica, melodic... But they're best known for mixing all together.
Songs like "Figure. 09" are a perfect example of their earlier nu metal sound. If you listen to these song and don't know it's Linkin Park, you could easily think you're listening to different bands.
