Please don't equate the rejection of the sub-mediocre with narrow-mindedness. I dislike them because they are a blight on an already diseased music industry, not because of some artificial reason.

well i love there musci but i just really dont like how they didnt make any other cd's
plz come back and make more

greatest song ever, in the end (made me start on rock music)

...that's very depressing...

ya i no, but if you dont hear the words, its really cool XD
i just listen to the music and if im tired or down, i listen to the words.

i actually agree with bacon on this one. if linkin park is your inspiration to listen to rock, then......um........good for you i spose

Linkin Park =/= rock. U FAIL LAWLZ.

This is true considering that linkin park is not even considered rock...i think. More like up beat pop/rap

Linkin Park may not be that great, but I still like them. And hell, not everyone starts off with what you consider good rock music. Perhaps not even you yourself. I, for example, started listening to rock after I started liking bands like LP, Green Day and AC/DC. I don't like them as much as I do now and I listen to more unique stuff now, but it is what gave me the boot to start.


Haha, they are not pop. They are more like rock/rap. If you listened to their lyrics, you would know that none of their songs are "up beat".

Alright, Alright; bad analogy on my part . But i do actually i do listen to them....yet i my book i don't consider them rock. I guess it all depends

How else would you categorize them then.. they are not pure rap, and not pop. They are rock-rap. You can't just shove bands in a different genre just because you feel like it. The only subgenres of rock that I don't really consider rock are emo and screamo *which is simply an atrocity, not even music*.

I guess you got me there...i have to think about it

well i like them, but im only listen to one song "Breaking the habbit" i

i think its one of the best bands out there it owns

IT OWNZ BIG TIME!!

have you heard real music before?

Obviously not.

I think enough was enough when I heard that crap they did with Jay Z *Vomits*

HEY HEY HEY HEY WOAH NOW!!! '

Then what exactly do you listen too? Eh . . .

hey i love linkin park who cant love it

THAT'Z PRETTY NICE, But why do you hate [LINKIN PARK] SO MUCH?

Because they're a bunch of 30-year-old men playing uninspired, derivative music with lyrics that were most likely lifted from the poetry of a depressed 14-year-old girl. Their attempts to combine rock and hip hop don't sound like hip hop, and sound even less like rock, putting them in a no-man's-land of pseudo-music that's less about actual music and more about image, which reeks of insincere, shallow commercialism. They're absolutely soulless and bogus, and I doubt anyone will even remember they existed in a couple of years.

But hey, if you like them, more power to ya.

Addendum: Holy crap! I actually managed to make it through a Linkin Park album without getting violently ill. Barely, though... I could feel the vomit rising in my throat by the time I got near the end of the album. Wow... that is just dreadful, horrible shit. How can anyone even consider this rock? This is like Vanilla Ice with background guitars. It's 3rd-rate commercial hip hop for suburban white kids who want to rebel against their parents, but lack the balls to do it with any conviction. If you like this band and have paid for anything they have released, SHAME ON YOU! SHAME ON YOU for supporting the further watering-down of American music.

LMAO! You made it! congratulations!

Wow . . . and you just took all of that off of the top of your head? That'z a large vocabulary . . .

im not too fond of linkin park either, they just fit the stereotypical commercial rock band
and that kind of stuff really pisses me off

Maybe if you didn't rot your brain cells listening to such garbage, you'd be able to talk like this, too.

you have a sharp wit dont you

. . . . . I dislike your impotent ways. The ways that you utterly and ingeneously use your vocabulary to completely humiliate an innocent soul and a simple style of music. A large vocabulary is basically based on the non-ignorant type of person. You don't need a specific type of intellect to completely understand how to complete a simple sentence. If you don't know how to visually comprehend these words, it's too bad that you can't talk anything about "music rotting my brain" . . .

Umm...Listen dude, I understand and am happy you're trying to stand up to big, bad Bacon, but what you just said is kind of hard to understand. Not in the "The words I use are too big for you" way, but like in the "I'm trying to talk like an intelligent person but really all I'm doing is using a whole bunch of words to way over-complicate a simple idea" way

^Yah, what she said.

Okay . . .

Actually, i was just messing around. I thought she was going to come back with a funny smart-ass comeback. I like those type of things . . .

...okay...

...And so the thread detoriated into a sad collection of stupid comments and flames. At least I didn't contribute very much to it this time. Great job, guys.

So here's my attempt to bring us back to actual discussion.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linkin_park

Wikipedia. It's what you do. Now educate yourselves and discuss intelligently. I'll even kick it off, if you want.

Linkin Park has a new album coming up in the summer of next year, at the latest. What do you expect from them? Do you think their musical style will change at all? What about their appearance? Answer les questions. Do it. Now. Or I'll slit my wrists and bleed on you.

I guess you'll just have to be emo and start cuttin then *shrugs* I could care less about their stuff.

Cut. By all means, cut!

You're tellin' me

I listen to Linkin Park pretty much, though they kinda need new sounds. But then again I'll listen to ANY genre of music.

OMG...MORE LINKIN PARK *dies and thinks of how she will have to sit through this shit in her sisters car* *Prays Evanescence will stay out of the recording studio*

Fine. I'll go sulk in the corner and cry emo tears while looking for a razor. Emo tears as opposed to non-emo tears, which don't make your mascara/eyeliner run. :D

Heh heh. "Emo".

If it makes your angsty self feel any better, I like Linkin Park fine.


... *Shakes head*

*shrugs* I listen to Linkin Park and I like some of their songs just fine, and I don't seem to have suffered any brain damage or anything...but hey, I guess it's just a matter of taste...

listen to GOOD music instead

Hey Bacon, did you know that people have different tastes? Now I know it's a little hard to grasp, but sweetie it's just one of those facts in the world we all have to learn to live with.

Don't misunderstand, I'm just trying to promote one band at the expense of another.

Plus, I think enjoying Linkin Park is something people will ultimately grow out of. We all go through our stages of liking crappy manufactured music. I wasn't born listening to Mercyful Fate, either. But as I grew older and discovered better stuff to listen to, I inevitably lost interest in the crap I liked before.

But some people stay in the rut and listen to crap all their lives

Those people should've stayed in school. What can I say?

*Shrugs* It's one thing to just like the sound of something and to be really into it and slicing your wrists because of it's lyrics. I thought Linkin Park was dead personally, and though I thought they were cool, their music doesn't have a lot of...substance to it, I think.

Bacon, you listen to heavy stuff anyway don't you? I doubt you'll find too many Linkin Park fans who'll listen to the same music as you

To say that I only listen to 'heavy stuff' is pretty insulting.

Besides, I've met Stinkin' Park fans that thought they were the heaviest shit out there.

Haha, I haven't met LP fans like that, but I have seen people think they were heavy for liking HIM and crap like that.

I thought Bacon lubbed Queen, and Queen is not heavy
