Chester will always be a hero of my teens. And Shinoda is actually a bit of a musical mastermind, he's really really good on all the other projects I've heard him in. And the stuff he produces is awesome too. The whole band were very talented. But the Linkin park sound was very much spearheaded by Chester's vocals. They pioneered Nu Metal, and paved the way for rap to become more common in metal. They pushed boundaries and I loved it, hybrid theory is up there in my list of all time most influencial albums.

Yeah. Great band. I saw them at ozzfest in '99 I think and fell in love right away. And the messages of their music only has grown on me I over time. Chester is my soul brother. Another sensitive soul that got a little to close to the sun. RIP.

I really liked your post earlier btw. I had to think really really hard about which songs really answered your question. Citizen soldier I've only just recently discovered. A musician that writes from the experience of being a professional psychologist. I'll bet he's got a lot of material to draw from.

Thanks. I live learning about new music and I don't have algos in my life so I appreciate the recommendations.

No worries 👊. The problem with algos on Spotify or YouTube music, is they just show you more of the same stuff you already like, same genres, new bands sometimes but same styles. The amount of new genres I've found and enjoyed since doing the dailies has been awesome. And the weeklies too. So much variety.

For sure. The older I get the more I open up to new genres. When I was a kid, it was 90s white kid rock music ONLY. Everything else was stupid. Turns out I was just kind of stupid.
