With the grunge-loving ’90s done, Linkin Park stormed into the 2000s blending a shrieking metal singer and a very-white-guy rapper, which resulted in a formula for success. With a fifth studio album in the works, let’s take a look back at the past decade and highlight their best songs. Let’s hope this will make up for A Thousand Suns, which met awful reviews, but not nearly enough to make us lose faith in the band responsible for the following songs. I’ll even go so far as to say I’m ranking these with the best at the end.

New Divide – Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen – 2009

What I’ve Done – Minutes to Midnight – 2007

Somewhere I Belong – Meteora – 2003

Breaking the Habit – Meteora – 2003

Runaway – Hybrid Theory – 2000

Place for My Head – Hybrid Theory – 2000
