I cannot stand how much hate this band gets on this site. This band shaped my music taste and gave me an appreciation for albums. I agree with @Larkcx13.
RIP Chester

People are a bit too harsh on these guys here. Yes i know, teenager freindly and all, but so what? Blink-182, A Day To Remember, My Chemical Romance, etc.. etc... shaped my taste in music as a teen. I dont have much of a judgemental bone in me for rock music anymore anyways. Linkin Park were great to have when they were around and thats all it is to me. Rest in peace, Chester.

Linkin Park was a very important part of my adolescence. When I felt like shit (which was pretty often), Chester always made feel... "understood", so to speak. I never gravitated towards Mike Shinoda as a rapper, always thought he was pretty mediocre. The music itself was kind of repetitive and flat, especially in their latest records. But Chester I did love. He was famous for his soaring, angsty, angry screams, which was a side of him that I liked, but when he truly spoke to me was when he was at his most fragile and vulnerable, in songs like "My december" or the verses of "Numb" and "Breaking the habit". The pain and sadness he so effectively conveyed in those moments always moved me. I'm not gonna say that he was a genius. I'm not gonna say that Linkin Park was one of the most influential or best bands of all time. They're definitely not. But like I said, Chester was a voice that I truly identified with at a certain point of my life, and his death was heartbreaking. RIP Chester, and thank you for everything.

RIP chester bennington

Hybrid Theory was a great album, and Meteora was a good album. Their collaborations with Jay Z were also creative (I didn't like them at the time but in hindsight it was really well done, such a blending of style and genre). Since then however, they have gone downhill. With the exceptions of Hybrid Theory and Meteora their album ranks seem to be overrated, but the artist ratings they receive seem to be underrated. Chester has a great voice for both rough metal vocals and clean smooth melodic singing.
