Top 10 Linkin Park Songs

Linkin Park is a band that has been around for quite a while. Over the years, it has managed to gather many dedicated followers. Here is a little insight to the band (Courtesy of MTV):

“Although rooted in alternative metal, Linkin Park became one of the most successful acts of the 2000s by welcoming elements of hip-hop, modern rock, and atmospheric electronica into their music. The band’s rise was indebted to the aggressive rap-rock movement made popular by the likes of Korn and Limp Bizkit, a movement that paired grunge’s alienation with a bold, buzzing soundtrack. Linkin Park added a unique spin to that formula, however, focusing as much on the vocal interplay between singer Chester Bennington and rapperMike Shinoda as the band’s muscled instrumentation, which layered DJ effects atop heavy, processed guitars. While the group’s sales never eclipsed those of its tremendously successful debut, Hybrid Theory, few alt-metal bands rivaled Linkin Park during the band’s heyday.”

All of Linkin Park’s albums secured the top spot on Billboard, save for their first album (Hybrid Theory). Even their newest album, Living Things, followed this tradition.

Now that you have been introduced to this band, if you weren’t aware of it before, let us begin with the top 10 songs of Linkin Park to have graced us since their first album.

5 Random Songs of the Week

Week 5. Another 5 songs. I’m running out of ideas for things to write here, so lets just move on.

1. Burn it Down by Linkin Park

Linkin Park is not dead. Their last album was comparatively weak, but I personally think that the new one is better. This song might not seem good to you when you listen to it the first time, but I recommend that you give it another listen. I hear people complain about how they want metal music from Linkin Park, but that is not gonna happen. Chester himself admitted that they didn’t want to produce metal music in the first place, but did it because it was getting good ratings. So, all you Linkin Park fans, get over it and move on.

1. Drops of Jupiter by Train

I had originally heard a shorter version of this on American Idol, about two years back. I really liked it, and now I recently got to listen to it again. Hence, I thought I’d share this amazing track with everyone else.
