Also if copypastas are allowed:

every song on hybrid theory kills accept crawling IMO and is one of the greatest albums ever, everything else by them is not even worst listening too as it tarnishes this albums greatness(again IMO). I may have been too young and impressionable to realise why the haters would have hated it at the time, a commercial version of the rock rap korn etc had been pushing for years, but I'm glad I was, because I still love this album.
fitting that my first post is about this album as it was the first "heavy" album I ever listened too

Korn was the commercial version already though. Linkin Park just took the flavorless oatmeal and added a few more cups of water.

Just tried playing an LP song in Chester's honor, but I hated it so much I actually deleted their music from my computer. A fitting analogy I guess.

He just won't stop killing himself.

You can only hold onto junior high angst for so long.

Oh well. Better artists have gone and went.

He didn't want to live and got what he wanted. We should be happy for him.

I was like 8 years old, and In the End was the first "rock" song I ever really liked. Probably haven't played them more than a couple times in the past decade, but there's a few cuts from their first two albums I think I could go back to and enjoy, if nothing else than at least for nostalgia purposes. Also think Reanimation and the jay z album are...aight

I used Linkin Park and Nu Metal in general to introduce two types of friend groups I had to genres they wouldn't give a chance. Either they were in the group where they only listened to rock and thought "rap was crap" or they only listened to rap and thought rock was just "noise". Both groups bonded over their love for LP though and led them to giving the genre that they ****ted on for so long a chance.

I'm not a huge Linkin Park fan but they aren't that terrible. Christ, compared to some of the **** stain try too hard to be different or edgy **** yall push. "Look, I listen to repetitive dissonant noise, I'm so deep and complicated". Boy, that's not music, you just forgot to pay your cable bill and your neighbor's yelling at his wife!

Their music probably reached, and helped and meant a lot more to people than anybody on this forum's music combined. Regardless if they were 14 or not, I've seen a ton of people who essentially grew out of the music morn this death because of what it meant to them at that age. Hatin ass bitches.

As FaSho says above, In The End was one of the first rock songs that I heard that I can really remember bonding with friends over.

I was raised on a cocktail of Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Nazareth, Al Green and Ella Fitzgerald so I was always open, and still am, to listening to anything at least once. Music is there to be enjoyed regardless of genre, someone is going to like it and that might be me.

Linkin Park to me came at a time where I was finding my own feet in terms of music taste. Granted it eventually turned out to be as ****ed as my dad's taste in music but it worked for me and a lot of Linkin Park songs were part of that time.

I think quite a few people try to distance themselves from bands when bands try to experiment with different styles and it maybe doesn't connect as well as other albums did with those people. I respect bands like that. They are artists after all and should be remembered as such.
