Linkin Park Classics That Kick-Started a Nu-Metal Revolution

Alternative-metal pioneers, Linkin Park emerged from California in the early 2000s to become the largest rock band since Nirvana, dominating MTV with a furious torrent of angst-filled rock tunes.

With their debut album, ‘Hybrid Theory’, selling 27 million copies globally to date, they broke through the post-millennial noise with the blending of Mike Shinoda’s rap-rock crossover vision and the late Chester Bennington’s vexed yet melodic voice, inspiring legions of fans, from metalheads to hip-hop fans. The best Linkin Park tracks merged rap and metal, permanently transforming alternative rock with songs of era-defining despair and howls of blazing wrath. These classics are a testament to the band’s reputation as nu-metal titans. Check them out below!
