- Numb (Meteora, 2003) ‘I’m tired of being what you want me to be, feeling so faithless, lost under the surface…’ If any doubts remained that Linkin Park were here to say, the third single from Meteora (and the closing statement on the record itself) was resounding proof that they were to be the enduring voice of this generation.
- In The End (Hybrid Theory, 2000) The story goes that Chester Bennington didn’t want In The End to make the final cut of Hybrid Theory. A slower, more expansive, piano-driven composition – albeit one littered with lung-busting power choruses – it didn’t obviously fit the harder edges wrapped around it.
- Faint (Meteora, 2003) The second single from Meteora saw Linkin Park changing things up significantly. Hitting the ground running with a pulse-pounding beat almost reminiscent of drum’n’bass and layering up both the electronics and live orchestral input, it felt like a maturation and daring swerve as the band began to really unpack what might’ve been a ‘difficult’ second album.
- One Step Closer (Hybrid Theory, 2000) On one hand, Hybrid Theory’s lead single did little to foreshadow Linkin Park’s full, genre-trampling potential.

- “One Step Closer” (2000) “As far as the lyrics, it’s very self-explanatory,” Linkin Park vocalist Mike Shinoda told Billboard in 2000. “I think that’s one reason that it’s being as well received as it is.”
- “Crawling” (2001) The claustrophobic, burbling “Crawling” places Bennington at center stage, allowing him to fully portray the gritted-teeth tension outlined in its discomfort-filled verses.
- “Papercut” (2001) In a 2013. interview with Manila station Monster Radio RX 93.1, Chester Bennington described “Papercut” as “the identity of the band,” and his all-time favorite Linkin Park song.
- “In the End” (2001) This soaring Hybrid Theory smash would make it to Number Two on the Billboard charts – the band’s best Hot 100 showing of their career.

- “In the End” (Hybrid Theory) You know that Limp Bizkit never even had a Hot 100 top 40 hit? That Korn only had one, and if you can name it in fewer than eight guesses you probably work for Billboard?
- “Faint” (Meteora) Before abandoning their shiny reupholstered version of grunge’s loud-quiet formula, Linkin Park perfected it on “Faint,” 2:43 of the most pulse-raising rock music of the ’00s.
- “Shadow of the Day” (Minutes to Midnight) The first true about-face of Linkin Park’s career came with this lighter-waver, whose coruscating guitars, soft bass rumble and fading-firework synths served as the zephyr lifting the most straightforwardly soaring vocal of Chester Bennington’s career.
- “One Step Closer” (Hybrid Theory) If you could reduce the nu-metal era to one sound bite, it’d either be Jonathan Davis scatting in tongues, Fred Durst telling you precisely where to stick that cookie, or Chester Bennington insisting with zero room for negotiation: “SHUT UP WHEN I’M TALKING TO YOU!”

- Somewhere I Belong (Meteora, 2003) The first single from Meteora, Somewhere I Belong is arguably Linkin Park’s best song ever. The song is about finding one’s identity and purpose in life, and feeling comfortable and confident in oneself.
- Numb/Encore (Collision Course, 2004) A mash-up of Linkin Park’s Numb and Jay-Z’s Encore, Numb/Encore is a brilliant collaboration that combines the best of both worlds: rock and rap.
- Breaking the Habit (Meteora, 2003) The fifth and final single from Meteora, Breaking the Habit is a unique and innovative song. It differs from Linkin Park’s usual style.
- Crawling (Hybrid Theory, 2000) The second single from Hybrid Theory, Crawling is one of Linkin Park’s most personal and emotional songs. The single reflects Bennington’s own struggles with drug addiction and abuse.
