Honestly, I was in highschool and all the little wannbe angsty, wannabe "Bad" teenagers thought that Linkin park was the best band ever. I had some Grateful Dead on my iPod and let one of theme hold and he said "What is this? You don't have any Linkin Park" I was like WHAT!

I hate Linkin Park, they might as well win MTV's award for most overated-promoted band ever. They freaking suck, and all of they're songs sound exactly the same.

And the fans are terrible, if anyone hates Linkin Park they are all over them. Also they think if you hate Linkin Park, you must love bands like Jonas Brothers or something... Yeah, like Linkin Park is the most hardcore band in the world.

I don't think they're terrible. Maybe a little overrated, but I like a lot of their songs. Besides, anything is better than Soulja Boy...

That is a true statement. If you hate Linkin Park, then you automatically love the Jonas Brothers. You can't argue with facts.

You already made up your mind that you don't like them even though you have little knowledge on their musical library. No point in trying to open an already closed mind.

Please, if you think they are the greatest band ever then you must have a really limited music selection. And absurd statement would be to say, "Linkin Park is better than ACDC"

Because they have good songs. And they created collision course with Jay-Z, imo the best album ever and it only had 6 songs. Then they went and did a song with Busta Rhymes. They appeal to the hip-hop/rap demographic this way, and are really liked all around.

Hybrid Theory wasn't bad and Meteora was just about the same, just not as good. Minutes to Midnight, however, was so very awful.

this is really a dumb thread. im sorry, but it is, why does anyone like anything ? because it is THEIR OPINION. period, honestly no matter how much i may think britney spears sucks, she has millions of fans that think she's godly, and there is nothing i can say to her fans to prove to them that she sucks, because they love her music. there is no such thing as good or bad music, everyone has their taste

But...he never said that he thought they were the greatest band ever...:? I don't know where you're trying to go with this. You're accusing us all of thinking that Linkin Park is the greatest band of all time.

I think Linkin Park is better than ACDC. Mainly because I have these things called opinions. All musical taste is just opinions.

Hybrid Theory was OK... But after that its down right garbage... My cousin is in a Likin Park cover band I think.. And all they do is stuff off there new album... It's pretty lame they're on Youtube... When they start playing the song the school goes fricken ape **** over it. Brainwashed teens not knowin good music if it came and hit them square in the ass..

You're putting words in my mouth, mate. I don't like the band but I was just pointing out that you never wanted an answer to the question in the thread title. You've already proven how small your knowledge on the band is by saying all their songs sound the same.

They aren't terrible just not great. People listen to them because they sounded different to other bands on mainstream radio at the time. So they got their fans and now will remain popular for some time.

I used to like them a lot when I was in middle school and have Hybrid Theory and Meteora. Now, I don't listen to them at all. Hybrid Theory has got a somewhat unique sound to it, but it's still just "meh".

Not in my opinion. I've always liked his style.

That's nice, but dude is very-limited from a skill standpoint. Is flow is very static, his lyrics are simple, his rhyme schemes are elementary, and his lyrics have the imagery and word play of high school poetry. Only thing going for him is his subject matter and that he raps over non-standard beats.

Hmm, I've never noticed that. I do like his way of rapping however, it's much better than rappers like Lil Wayne, Plies and other douchebags like them. But hey, each to his own.

Depends on which Lil' Wayne you're talking about. Wayne is bi-polar with his rap. At times he cares about lyrics and (most) other times he just does whatever he wants. But from a flow standpoint Wayne is miles better than Shinoda in almost every instance. Plies sucks bawls though. Shinoda does provide some real talk in his verses, he needs to do that more though...that's new direction of rap imo. Rappers talking about things easily related to the masses...

I'm not trying to convince dude of anything, just stating how I feel. I like Shinoda, feel he has potential, but needs to add some things to his music before I call him a "good" rapper.

In my opinion Linkin Park is just as good as AC/DC if not better. My favorite song is "Given Up" by Linkin Park.

This is a pretty accurate Linkin Park parody.
