Third media review

Third media review- Music

I like all types of music but a genre that always catches my attention is rock and rap. I grew up listening to a lot of rock songs and i don't have a favorite band. One that i want to talk about is Linkin Park which was created in 1996. It all started with 3 high school friends that made a 4 track demo tape on makeshift bedroom studio. This american rock band became famous with their first album called"Hybrid Theory" back in 2000 (17 years ago!). They were certified diamond by the RIAA also multi platinum in several other countries. "Meteora" (another album of theirs) topped the billboard 200 in 2003. This band was rated the 6th best band followed by the third best millennium band. A lot of people know this band and think of transformers. This band is very unique because the electronic sounds they mix in with the rock is smooth and creates a mood just like a movie. They have adapted a new type of rap rock theme. Its amazing to hear two genre's at once! Linkin park has collaborated with Jay-Z bringing in new fans. Linkin Park has more of a rock vibe and less rap in their work. This band to this day still has that amazing 2000's vibe to it, just when rap was getting really really popular along with rock. A band that reminds me of Linkin Park is RED. They have similar unique sounds that set the mood(mostly violins). This band is a christian rock band but has the same vibe and the singers sound almost identical in my opinion but you can still tell the difference.

Popular songs of Linkin Park:
-Crawling
-In the end
-Numb
-New divide
-What iv'e done
-Bleed it out
-Faint
-Burn it down
-Breaking the habit

Popular RED songs;
-Already over
-Breathe into me
-Darkest part
-Break me down
-Hide
-Pieces

I recommend listening to one of each of the bands songs.
I love both of these bands.
