So, noticed that there did not seem to be a thread on Linkin Park and wanted to start one.

What was the first song of theirs that got you hooked?

Favorite album?

Do you like them better in their early work or now?

Also, have any of you listened to Chester's side group Dead by Sunrise?

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE THREAD because I'm thread-making-shy.

First song I heard was In The End; first song I got hooked on was Numb (I blame my Naruto obsession back then and a certain AMV.)

I'm not sure about albums...there're always songs I like and don't like in an album. Though, I used to hate A Thousand Suns because it didn't sound like conventional LP. Now I kind of really like it. Minutes To Midnight is pretty awesome, too.

...Funny how I love the two most depressing albums.

They've had way different sounds through the years; I'm still more used to the older stuff.

As for Dead by Sunrise...never was too interested. Same goes for Mike's art.

I've liked Linkin Park for while. I really cannot seem to remember the first song I heard from them was. I know Numb was one of the first, but the one that got me hooked was Breaking the Habit. It is still one of my favorites now.

As for their albums, it's like other albums. Some songs I like, some I love, some I don't. Kind of depends.

I think you just made him upset.... He likes their older stuff as in Meteora and before.
I personally can listen to just about anything they have produced so far. Still haven't listened to there newest album though.
My favorite album is Merteora, even though I can't pronounce it. Yes I know it is when they got big but I like the songs and memories attached to them.

First song of theirs that I listened to and got hooked on was Somewhere I Belong. Music video was amazing.

Favorite album is a tie between Hybrid Theory and Meteora. Same in liking some songs and not so much others, but find that I like more of their old work.

I just remembered my siggy >.>

Breaking the Habit, Somewhere I Belong, Crawling, the remix of Numb, My December...those were all favorites at some time.

I really like Nobody's listening.

I think thats from Hybrid Theory I think..

I really like Mike Shinoda, he's a bad ass.

also The people from Linkin Park make the band Fort Minor. And also Dead by sunrise.

They are both awesome band

And Mike Shinoda is the main singer in Fort Minor :P

I, personally, prefer their earlier work. ^^

I have, however, noticed that they seem to have fallen out of... touch? with the rest of the world. I haven't heard anything about a new album or even concerts. Maybe I'm too far under my little rock for my own good or perhaps I'm correct.

As of late they have been touring overseas. I believe they are back stateside now, but don't quote me on that. As for new album, they have said that one is in the works, but no word on title or rough release date.

I'm...not sure which song of theirs I heard first. I know Hybrid Theory was what I heard the most at first. At one point "Breaking the Habit" was practically my theme song- the video for it only helped. It was a very depressing time for my life and I wasn't even on drugs or...well maybe it was because I did NOTHING. I still kind of do but with a speckle of something sprinkled in sparingly...xD; I didn't use alliteration on purpose there.

I will stay neutral on whether I like them better then or now. I notice my preference changes and will continue to change just as their music has and that- is a good thing.

@Alpha: Well that is most reassuring ^^

First Song that Got Me Hooked: In The End

Favorite Album: Meteoria

I personally like both their early and their older work, though I tend to lean towards their older works since that's what I grew up on.

And no, never heard of Chester's side group. o.o

Chester's side band was okay, but not amazing. They opened for the band a couple of times, but haven't heard much about since. I still need to check out Fort Minor....

Crawling was the first song I heard and it has been my favorite ever since.
The new songs they've come out don't feel like the same LP me and my father loved! It was...odd..and too different of a style..

It was In the End that i first heard and what got me hooked.. it was on a Gravitation AMV.. the AMV sucked so I made my own with the song.. lost it when my first PC crashed.

I like their cds Hybrid Theory and Meteora ^-^

The first song I heard was ... In The End, and I loved it!
