Musical Theory

If you're done piling on me with respect to the Black-Eyed Peas, I might as well mention that I also like Linkin Park.

And I think it's something of a flaw that Hybrid Theory barely got noticed at the Grammys.

Have fun with the mockage.

Meh. At least you didn't say you like Korn or Limp Bizkit. "Behind Blue Eyes" is the most ineptly garbled pseudo-cover since Lenny Kravitz's "American Woman".

I can't fault you for liking Nu Metal. But I'm not putting the umlaut on the 'u' and you can't make me.

Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory is one of the best albums of the last five years.

Black Eyed Peas are decent, but not spectacular. Great driving/dancing music.

May I recommend either Jurassic 5 or N.E.R.D. for a similar, better sound?

I was going to recommend N.E.R.D. as well.

As for Linkin Park...screaming is considered an art form in some cultures.

Linkin park is the Oasis of the early 00's. Much talked about and sold fairly well, but ultimately overrated and unimportant. I HAVE SPOKEN!

Dude, at least you didn't express your undying love for Nickleback or Puddle of Mudd.

From what little I've heard of Linkin Park, it sounds to me like Rage Against The Machine got there firstest with the mostest, but you do have to love the "Points of Authority" video.
