I love the old Linkin Park music, don't you? Breaking the habit was their first song I heard
Oh yes I also like the Linkin Park. Those guys from California
Yeah, back in 1996 that's where they played. They basically invented nu metal with their song Meteora
my best song from them is Hybrid Theory which flung them to fame
IT is a shame that hybrid theory peaked at 2nd on the billboards. Atleast it has been certified diamond
I also liked when they fused their music with electronic sound like in the song A  Thousand Suns
Mike Shinoda and Rick Rubin, their vocalists, worked really hard on that song in 2010. I liked it but not as much as their older stuff. 
then i think you may be interested in their album Living Things. it is a combination from all their previous records
Ah man, living things is a classic. It was the last one that Rubin worked on. Did you listen to their good bye song to him? It was very sad.
 That was a hit. Though as you said, it is a sad song
