Linkin Park

[wrath]

So today I'm taking a nice little audio journey through Linkin Park. LP has been one of the most influential bands in my life. A lot of fans dropped off after Minutes to Midnight, but I actually love A Thousand Suns and Living Things. These folks are the ones who got me interested in rock and also rap. Prior to seeing the music video for Crawling on MTV for the first time, I was more or less only listening to top 40's and jazz exclusively. You have to appreciate a band that expands your horizons. I rarely go back to Hybrid Theory and doing so right now gives me chills. I haven't heard some of these songs in so long, and I can remember exactly what I was doing the last time I heard them. Fuck yeah.

Anyway folks, if you're a big LP fan, or not so much but know a song, post your favorite LP song and why (If you have a reason)!

For me it's a really tough call, but I'm going to have to go with:
Pushing Me Away from Hybrid Theory.




As someone that was a pathological liar from 16-22~ I could really relate to the opening lyrics:

I've lied to you, the same way that I always do.

Now the rest of the song, aside from just being musically appealing, makes me think of a lot of my relationships. Often times in the past I was forced to be someone different in order to please the person I was with. Hell, I lied about smoking to someone for about 2 years because she didn't want me to. She never found out. Now that I've grown up I look back and smile upon the Tim that felt he needed to please everyone so much for such little love there was there.

Anyway, you get the drift, the lyrics are pretty self explanatory.

LP's unite!
