Favorite Linkin Park Song

[Sparda]

What is (if you like them) your favorite Linkin Park song.

In the End and Dedicated (Not on a Album) would have to mine.

[Remus]

Well I like a few of their songs, but I wish they would just drop the rap part of the songs.

In the End, Crawling, Numb

[Evo]

Papercut
One Step Close
Points of Authority (Orig)

[Gray Fox]

Papercut

But I like:
Faint
Somewhere I belong
By myself

[madog]

The rap portion of their songs pisses me off.

[Sparda]

How dare you say there songs are rap, Rap is a word for gangster dropout who can't get a job so they make up bull shit rimes.

[Lucid]

I hate their lyrics... it's emo-metal.

The only song I kind of like by them is My December.

[Remus]

No he said the rap portion of their songs. IMHO heavy metal and rap don't fit together no matter how they compose the songs. So keep the heavy metal and alternative electronic weirdness par, but dump the rap part.

[ailevation]

I agree with you all, the rapping parts suck in LP. Mike Shinoda is a shitty MC.

You're an idiot :) you might not like it, but Linkin Park's admittedly godawful songs contain 'rapping' by an MC.

I don't like Linkin Park, for me they were a band I listened to when I was 14.. I just don't like them anymore.

I fukcing hate Linkin Park, I'm not even a rap fan, but there is definitely some awesome hip hop out there, that is a billion times better than that emo/metal/rap/whatever shit

[$kelet0r]

all i really rememberof them is an awesome CG music video which looked very much like it was influenced by the Final Fantasy Spirits Within
That was cool...I'll see if I can find it

edit - there we go http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=be_kyUHzrrM&search=linkinpark
Didn't know Linkin Park did so much anime and final fantasy related stuff, what's with that?

[Evo]

That was off re-animation i tihnk. Their 'mixes' album

[Sparda]

That was off re-animation i tihnk. Their 'mixes' album Yes it's the 2nd track.

I know it's rap but i think if someone said i rapped i would be upset to be could that.

The Linkin Park rap is the only rap i like anyway, i hate this eminem and 50 cents shit.

[Sulkdodds]

That one that goes 'STOP! Hammertime!'

[StardogChampion]

Word to yah mother.

If you take the rap out of Linkin Park then they're just a crap Alice in Chains wannabe. Like Silverchair is to Nirvana.

[Remus]

Rap and Hip Hop are shit. They degraded the music industry by letting people that actually don't have any musical talent become super stars, what a joke. I got sick when I saw Eminem get an award for best "singer":x

If all you've heard is mainstream rap like Eminem then you don't have an accurate view of what hip hop is. Eminem is a joke. Check out Del Tha Funkee Homosapien or Deltron (same guy), A Tribe Called Quest or MF Doom.
Three months ago I HATED rap, and would agree with you completely, but that was before someone played me some Del

totally agreed,I hate Linkin Park now,i wish they would rock again but they totally changed :(

aww I had a laundry list of bashing I was going to do here, but I'll hold off now ;)

[DeusExMachina]

Linkin Park is just as bad as Panic! At the Disco, if not possibly worse.

[Glirk Dient]

I don't like Linkin Park, for me they were a band I listened to when I was 14.. I just don't like them anymore.

QFT

I can't stand them anymore. I used to like them a lot when I was younger but not anymore.

[Qonfused]

I liked them better when I was younger but I still didn't care for 'em too much. I liked the drum beats, hints electronica and their guitar pieces. But then they bring in... rap. GG youth of America for making them popular.

I do have to admit though. I do like their cover of Wish.

[Stigmata]

Artistic rap > * > Mike Shinoda > * > * > Mainstream Rap. You can get much, much worse than Linkin Park.

Favorite songs, in no particular order:
Somewhere I Belong
Faint
Session
Hit The Floor

Papercut

I think everyone (under the age of 20) went through (or is going through) a dark period in their teenage years where they liked crap like Linkin Park and other "pop-metal" bands. Yes, myself included. Thankfully I grew up and developed a taste for real music. The only bit of hope I can offer you Sparda is that one day you will grow out of them, probably the day your balls drop. I sometimes envy those who lived through the 60's and 70's, back in those days you had genre defining bands and individuals springing up left right and centre. Today we're treated to the same old generic crap time after time. I could count the number of truly excellent musicians that have come out in the last 25 years on one hand.

[Lemonking]

Queen,tool,Rod Stewart? those are pretty excleent people imo.

[ComradeBadger]

Everyone develops their own music taste over time..
Eventually you reach the one that you really enjoy.. and you will love it :)

[mortiz]

Queen,tool,Rod Stewart? those are pretty excleent people imo.

Well two of the artists in your list are from the 70's.

[Lemonking]

oh...yeah I guess Queen and Stewart, your right^^

[xombine]

Heeeey now Rod is still doing the occasional concert or commercial, sounding quite pitiful tbh. :P

But I have no favorite Linkin Park song because I don't listen to them, actually I can't stand them at all. :x

What music do you like?

[Korgoth]

how can u even admit that you used to like them? anyone who likes linkin park fails at life, and i don't mean the board game. 10 quid to whoever can figure out that reference hehe

[Danimal]

I never really liked them at all, I didn't listen to music at all during that "Dark Period".

[Sparda]

[ComradeBadger]

See, I'd say Eminem is quite talented..

[Remus]

Eminem is as talented as a piece of ****ing ****, and trust me that's not a good thing:cheese: .

[Sparda]

See, I'd say Eminem is quite talented..Some of his new songs are ok but his older stuff is crap.

[ComradeBadger]

I'd say quite the opposite.. The Slim Shady LP is so very much better than his newer stuff. It's more 'real', seems closer to the heart.

[Sparda]

I realy do like him and yes his older stuff is more about his life, i used to realy like it but now... i don't know i just don't like it anymore, but i like him

Yes, I too went through the Linkin Park Dark Ages. What do I like now? ACDC, Led, Lynard, Deep Purple, Foo Fighters, 30 Seconds to Mars, and a lot of one songers by random artists.

Then you've been looking in the wrong places, music wise. So many brilliant artists/songs/albums of emerged since 1980 its not even funny. The only catch is that you have to find them yourself, the next great album isn't going to sell 10 million copies.

[Sulkdodds]

I agree with CB on Eminem. Used to be rather good, and has (as far as I can tell) fallen into the mainstream rapper trap of just going on about himself all the time.

As for Linkin Park, some of their songs are actually alright. Especially that 'Hammertime' one.

1980 - 1990 perhaps, that's when the wave of the 60-70's was breaking, however after that, particularly in the last 15 years I haven't heard any new bands that have made my ears tingle.

Dammed, we have some very narrowminded, judgemental people on thease boards.

Yeah, isn't it cool?:P

I for one do like a few of their songs but the rest are just meh. I don't know why you keep debating this, it depends on your personal preference if you like this band or not so quit judging each other.

[Qonfused]

While I have to agree with your statement for most political threads at these forums but I can't say I can agree here. If someone doesn't like a paticular band then so be it. There's no other way to go around it.

Offcourse you are right, but insulting/degarding the people/their state of mind/believs/age/taste because of the band they listen to is not right.

[Sparda]

And if everyone started just posting there favorite songs well this thread would be boring.

[Ludah]

I used to like... oh hell, I don't know the name of the tracks any more. All I know is I liked a few of their songs when I was younger, but now I can't stand them.

Linkin Park strikes me as a band with good production values, but it's hollow, pretentious, and downright stupid a lot of the time. Almost every one of their songs sounds like it's been specifically geared to be as mainstream as possible. They're nifty hooks that stick in your head, but hold precious little substance. And even on a purely technical level, they shy away from balls-to-the-walls energy of, say, Nine Inch Nails.

It's music I can tolerate. I can admit it takes a level of talent. But there's little to respect about it.

[neptuneuk]

i dont listen to them AT ALL any more. but years back their best track was with you

[Adrien C]

Man, I used to listeng 24/7 to Hybrid theory and Reanimation. Then the band went down hill with the crappy rapping and "heavy" sound in Meteora. I've since then lost interest. I will surelly d-load their new album, and if its good I'll buy it.

BTW: To all the people who "listen to good music" just because their fav bands are some "underground" bands who couldn't get a record deal because according to them they don't want to become "mainstream" : Please Shut the fuk up

Edit: About fort minor: just 2 cool songs : "Dedicated" and "Remember The Name"

[Dalamari]

I use to listen to their first album all the time (With Crawling, Close To The Edge, blah blah blah..) Until I realized bands like NiN, Deftones, and STP were way harder and way better

Linkin Park is non-music

[Sparda]

Edit: About fort minor: just 2 cool songs : "Dedicated" and "Remember The Name"Dedicated is cool but you should listen to Red to Black.

[bigburpco]

Yuck. Linkin Park = A world of suck.

[AiM]

Someone here compared Linkin Park (minus the Rap) to Alice In Chains, I'm sorry but that comparision is wack. Alice doesn't have any of the electronica mess LP has, the lyrics are vastly different, the guitar work on Alice is great... not so much in LP, and when it all boils down to their songs, LP just flat out does not resemble Alice at all.

What I do consider a ripoff of Alice is say... Godsmack, amongst many others but LP is not one of them.

[Ludah]

Funny, because I don't recall anybody saying this.

[Sparda]

Funny, because I don't recall anybody saying this.No one said that, but if you read better you will see that it was said in about 4-5 diferant ways.

[Mechagodzilla]

The one where nobody sings.

Musically, they are good.

Lyrically, they blow with hurricane force.

They're one of those bands that you're like "hey this is an okay song" and then the lyrics start so you instantly throw a shoe at your radio.

[_Z_Ryuken]

I love their music. I just don't listen to the words. I like the sound of the words, I just don't care for their pain and suffering.

The ones I can play over and over: Faint, My December (reanimation), Somewhere I Belong (chorus sucks ass).

No, not really.

There's a difference betweem hating something because it's mainstream and hating it because they've done everything in their power to make it so.

As I said before, when you're specifically gearing your music to be easily digestible, you sacrifice your integrity and your worth as an artist. By all means, if you can gain popularity without gimping your own artistic vision, then more power to you. But everything about Linkin Park reeks of watered-down tripe. In the end, all that matters is "omg how phat is this beat?!" and the amount of angsty teeny-boppers you've got in the crowd.

[_Z_Ryuken]

When I listen to music
all I want to know is
"omg how phat is this beat?"

The only time I actually care about an artists lyrics is when I listen to rizzy ap ap.

I think they have great music, I just don't like the singing or lyrics.

Another reason I dislike Linkin Park is because my friend (who listens to LP like I listen to NIN) now calls all REMIXES reanimations because of that album they put out.

Yay all is not lost.

[Ennui]

i used to like linkin park ages and ages ago before anyone else had ever heard of them; just as i was deciding i didn't like them anymore, they got super popular.

i don't mind a few of the songs from the first album, because they have a heavy heavy nostalgia factor for me, but i really can't stand most of them these days.

[JNightshade]

I got into them when I turned 11. Lost interest in them a few months after that... coincidentally, right when I got my pubes.

I'm not sure with which approach I should reply to that; that it bothers me that a band like Linkin Park stains an awesome NIN song, or that they had the decency to play something that's not shit. Oh well.

And Ryuken, I'm 17, or thereabouts. I was 11 in the year 2000.

[Zephos]

I like Crawling, just because I somehow had it playing when I first played HL1...so good memories always come flying back when I play it.

Off-topic note: I remember quoting that exact same line in my sig too a while back Ennui :) Airbag ftw.

I've had Nobody's Listening from Meteora pop into my head a few times lately for some reason. Cool song... infact, I'ma pop it on right now.

Besides that... they're pretty much all alright. I used to be way into Linkin Park around the same time I was obsessed with Blink 182 :P Still like both bands though, just not on a fanboy level.
