Linkin Park was the source of most of my anthems throughout high school and college. I distinctly remember driving around Miami so many times with my best friend in those days, starting off with Track 1 from Hybrid Theory. To this day, if I play that song, my mind goes back to popping that CD in my 1993 Saturn SC1 and hitting up TCBY or going to a church youth group night or just driving to find new things in the city. The band's tracks followed me throughout my development. I remember seeing them live at Zetafest and being blown away by their showmanship and stage presence. Chester's vocals were so distinctive and powerful that I couldn't stop listening to anything the band created.
