*Awesome band that is often criticised by losers.
*Listened to by many different types of people.
*The bands original name was Hybrid Theory
Me: "Nah... I don't really like Linkin Park"
A girl: "You should try listening to them, they are great!"
Later on I "acquired" some songs and was hooked, they started my obsession for music.

Definition: Rock band formed in 1996, in California. Initially named Xero, and was composed of 6 members: Mark Wakefield (vocals), Mike Shinoda (second vocals, rapping), Brad Delson (guitars), Joe Hahn (DJ, turntables), Dave Farrell a.k.a "Phoenix" (bass) and Rob Bourdon (drums). In 1999, Wakefield left the band to search for other projects, and Xero recruited then, the current vocalist of the band, Chester Bennington. They would rename their band to "Hybrid Theory", and later, "Linkin Park"
The same year, they managed to sign a deal with Warner Bros. Records after various failed attempts. After signing the deal, they released their first album in 2000, "Hybrid Theory". It became an instant success and launched LP into mainstream. Some songs that became popular in the album were: "Crawling" and "In the End".
Came 2002, after a long time touring around the US, they worked on a new album, and finally released it, under the name "Meteora". Although less successful than the first album, it still managed to sell a lot and make the band's popularity grow even more. Some songs that stood out were: "Faint", "Numb", "Somewhere I Belong" and "Breaking the Habit".
After the second album's success, Linkin Park continued to tour and help in charity work. It kept going like this until 2006, where the band released their 3rd and newest album, "Minutes to Midnight", That marked a departure from the band's old rap/rock style. Now the lyrics contained some profanity and were more politically charged, although Mike still rapped in few songs. Another new thing was that Brad put a few guitar solos in some songs as well. The song that stood out the most in the album, becoming its pilot single, was "What I've Done", but songs such as "Bleed It Out" and "Shadow of the Day" had relative success.
They are still active today, but there are no previews of a 4th album. Their musical style is best defined as "nu-metal", due to the interplay seen between Chester's singing and Mike's rapping.
Opinion: I won't say LP is the best band in the world cause I haven't listened to all the rock bands in the world to judge it. But they are worthy of the success they make, and their sound is very good. An excellent band all around.

A really hybrid and brilliant Alternative-metal band who are expanding the boundaries of rock and metal alike.tHEY ARE ONE OF THE ONLY non-explicit metal band (that is on their albums) and they are somehow discredited for that (WHY THE HELL??DO YOU IDIOTS THINK THAT SWEARING IS MATURE?) People tend to misunderstand them,the guitar riffs are heavy.Play them on Karaoke and you'd see.The isnger screams like all of new metal and there is a touch of rapcore wit mike in it.And PLEASE dont deny they are atleast Alt-Metal.I can give you SOLID proof that they are.Please open real player,play a linkin-park song and check out the classification and the truthful description give.Go On,You'd get it.And another thing,LISTEN to each song atleast twice,any hybrid band takes time to get used to.Yet I do hope they get started on their new album now.
Linkin Park have realeased two good albums :- Meteora and Hybrid theory.

Since I've seen that the last person who tried to write a Linkin Park article without adding their opinions did exactly the opposite, I'll take the liberty of doing it properly.
Linkin Park, previously known as Xero and Hybrid Theory, are an Alternative Metal band from Southern California, consisting of vocalist Chester Bennington, Drummer Rob Bourdon, Guitar player Brad Delson, Bass player Dave Farrell, DJ Joe Hahn, and rapper Mike Shinoda. They have released three studio albums, all of which sold very well, with the possible exception of their latest release, Minutes to Midnight. Most of their popular singles came from the previous two albums, Hybrid Theory and Meteora. Their lyrics often follow a theme concerning teen angst or a feeling of alienation, occasionally touching on relationship troubles. They have been known to add samples and scratching to many of their songs.

Linkin Park Is An Awsome Band. Don't Deny It! 2 vocals, 2 guitarist, 1 DJ, 1 bassist, And 1 keybord. They are awsome nerds letting out all their pain from high school and life. With 2 albums out and 1 being the best selling of 2001.You can't beet that!
A lot of nerds letting out their pain in their vocals.
