What do you have against Linkin Park?
Can't stand that whole wave of mainstream rock/nu metal stuff from 20 years ago. I just think there's no taste or originality there. I'm guessing a lot of the appeal to you is nostalgia. Like Gen Xers who think Pearl Jam was the pinnacle of rock history.
If you favor Linkin Park over The Who, Pink Floyd, Beatles (or even Green Day), we obviously have very different tastes. To each their own.
