This might be my next if not for Audioslave and Hardwired.

I just cannot buy that anyone thinks Hardwired is anything other than a modern day St Anger sequel with a collection of songs that all sound the same.

Some trivia pursuit, with a grand total of 2 votes... Hybrid Theory just became the first item on an elimination series as far as I recall stretching back to ROV to be eliminated with so few votes.

This series has been a disaster in terms of participation. With metacritic as the tie breaker, Hybrid Theory is gone.

Here's the other 3 singles from said album.

So here's how I see it;

I'm completely indifferent to Green Day and Audioslave. Cochise is the only Audioslave track that got regular play on airwaves during it's time that I remember. The Green Day album however was pretty big, just not my cup of tea.

I'm not a huge Linkin Park fan, but I remember liking that album and owning it when I was a kid.

I owned Songs for the Deaf too, but it's just a decent album. Nothing special about it imo.

Hardwired however is just repetitive to me. It's an updated Saint Anger sequel with better sound quality. Nothing offensive, but forgettable.

It's not worth talking about Chinese Democracy.

Elephant and Kid A however are the two easiest to justify being in this series. Both were pretty big and influential. I'm disappointed if there's someone on the board who hasn't heard both. My preference is Kid A.
