What is known about the group Linkin Park
Linkin Park was founded by Mike Shinoda and Brad Delson in 1996 in the United States. The first few years, the band performed under other names – Xero and Hybrid Theory. The musicians recorded songs in the styles of alternative metal, nu-metal and rap metal. The first vocalist of the band was Mark Wakefield. He left the band because he was looking for more promising projects.
The musicians took Wakefield’s place with Chester Bennington. It was he who came up with the name Linkin Park. The band’s debut album Hybrid Theory was released in 2000. Several songs from the record quickly took the top spots on the charts. For the composition Crawling, the musicians received a Grammy Award in the category of Best Hard Rock Performance. MTV named the video for the hit In the End the best clip of the year.
In 2003, Linkin Park released their second album, Meteora. The song Numb became a real hit, and music critics called it the voice of a generation. Over 20 years (as of October 7, 2023), the video for this song has been viewed by more than 2.1 billion YouTube users. Other bands and musicians have released dozens of Numb covers.
