Linkin Park – 90s California Runner Mom

I can’t believe that it has been a year since the world lost Chester Bennington. I first discovered Linkin Park when I was in middle school. I’ve been a fan of them for over 15 years. Celebrity deaths rarely affect me, but this one hit me hard because I grew up with their music. Whenever I was going through some tough times, Linkin Park was there for me. He might be gone, but we haven’t forgotten him. This is one of the bands that people will continue to listen to 10, 15 years from now. I decided to make a list of my favorite Linkin Park songs. This was a tough list to make because I love all their music. Here are my top 25.

First of all, I want to say what a shock it was to see the news that Chester Bennington, lead singer of Linkin Park, committed suicide. I first saw it on Instagram but thought it was fake. I went on Facebook and saw that many news stations had posted the story. Normally I do not get emotional over celebrities passing away, it is sad but I don’t know them personally. This death was different.

Although I listen to mostly country music, I grew up listening to music like Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, Evanescence, to name a few. I could relate to the lyrics in Linkin Park’s song. They have helped me through hard times and I know I am not alone. Looking at my Facebook feed, it seems that so many people I know are affected by this loss. It is a heartbreaking loss, not only for the music business, but for the world. Linkin Park’s music helped so many people here around the United States and outside the United States. Linkin Park is one of those bands that is liked by so many people regardless of what genre of music they like. You can listen to hip hop, rock, rap, country, pop etc. and Linkin Park is still one of your favorite bands.
