Oddly enough, I'd actually group all 4 of those performers into groups that don't make good music. Each to their own though.

Only heard their singles.
at first I thought 'these sound different, the singer has a good aggressive voice'
I now think that they are one trick ponies, all their singles sound very samey (with exception of breaking the habit), they are predictable - you know he is going to go into 'angry shouting mode', the only question is when.
Mind you though, predictability isn't always a bad thing - I love Bad Religion  | |

I love Linkin Park but I found that they are one of those bands that you can listen to for short periods of time, but very loud. If you listen for too long the album merges into one, but that could be good mixing of the album.

LP are one of the best hard rock/metal bands around at the moment. I have been listening to their albums for months now and haven't got bored of them. They are even better live.  | |

They're ok. Can be a bit samey, but hey, compared with Rap & Dance they're on Frank Zappas wavelength!  Besides the wife and the kids all love em', so I've got no choice but to listen to em'.

Girlfriend is a huuuuuge fan but I cannot get that excited about them. I'm not a huge fan of angsty music but then she didn't like ZZ Top's Tres Hombres that I was singing along to in the bath last night so that is the richness of human choice for you  .

Would all these people that like LP be a million times better off with RATM instead? now they are good.

I couldn't help but notice that the people on here saying they are awesome are both 17. That typifies Linkin Park for me. I used to love Korn, System Of A Down and all that stuff when I was that age too.
Very much a teenage thing.

| Great album!!! The kids roared the other day when I was wailing along to Led Zeps "Nobodys fault but mine". It wasn't. They'll never let me forget it..............

TBH, I'm tempted to sell my nu-metal CDs because they really don't fit in with anything else in my rack.
The main thing I've noticed is not the "younger" people listen to things like Linkin Park which I don't mind (obviously I'm still young myself) but that they do bitch about other peoples tastes.

Never really had any Nu-Metal CD's is i think its a sheeite american genre, not sure if RATM is classed as Nu-Metal?
Love the Clash too BTW, and have just discovered Blue States and ELO
