For me it has to have been Linkin Park – Hybrid Theory. Up till the point that it was released I was already into rock music sure. Probably due to my dad playing albums in the car by bands such as Iron Maiden, Bon Jovi, Metallica etc. However while I loved those (and very much still do)… There was something that didn’t feel “mine” about them.
Enter this band that were playing nu-metal with elements of rap, it blew my little mind! With screams that honestly took my breath away and music videos that were both entertaining and shocking. I was lucky enough to see this album being performed in full at Download Festival 2014, and its the only time Linkin Park ever did that. I count myself very lucky. Especially now that Chester is gone. I do hope that Emily Armstrong cements her place in the history of Linkin Park, and I think she is doing a cracking job. But it still feels like a different band to me.
So there is my answer but what is yours?! Let me know in the comments.
