Not my thing. Everything about them is mediocre, from the 13-yr-old-sounding whiny screaming, to the half-assed rapping, to the guitar "playing". I would much rather listen to a band that does at least one thing well.

That being said, the singles I've heard seem better than a lot of other modern crap. Mainstream music is in sad shape these days.

I do agree with that wholeheartidly.:music:

About a year ago, I heard that the Linkin Park got in a car crash and everyone died. Was this a rumor because they are apparently still alive?

They are all right I guess. Not a big fan of rap metal.

Alien Ant Farm's bus crashed about a year ago, but I don't think any of them died...

a hybrid of nsync/& nu metal.

They make for good posters and edgy pre-teen dream dates.

When I hear Linkin Park i think to myself:"people will be mocking this band a decade from now"

i think you give them too much credit....and no, I can't stand them.

I loved Hybrid Theory.

Only heard a couple songs off of Reanimation, and I don't like Somewhere I Belong from Meteora, but I haven't heard the rest of the CD...:)

Their new cd is pretty decent, but I like their Reanimation disc. Remixes are cool.

I'm surprised they have such wide appeal, even amongst those who are so quick to dismiss bands as sellouts or copy cats once they make it big. Perhaps they're one of the few good modern rock bands.

I must qualify my "NO!!!" by adding that I like heavy rock/metal bands such as Metallica, The Offspring, Guns 'N Roses, Alice in Chains, etc. But Linkin Park is just crap. :disgust:
