14 ~ Bleed It Out A great song. Proboably the one Linkin Park song where Shinoda's vocal style didn't bother too much. It fit the hard driving guitars and power of Chester's vocals.
13 ~ One Step Closer Another early Linkin Park. Shinoda used his screamy vocal style; which is the style I enjoy from him. This is good Hard Alternative Rock music.
12 ~ Faint I'm Not a fan, so I'll keep my mouth shut about this song.
11 ~ New Divide You all ranked this one too low. This is one of their classics. Chester at his top vocally too.

I like every song remaining, just some less than others. I probably underranked my #26, too.

This has been such a rollercoaster of a rankdown... it seems that the most pop and most rock songs have been affected, so it'll be interesting to see the final results. Definitely sad about Burn It Down and New Divide amongst the latest reveals. Both reflect the type of LP songs that I like the most--dynamic but melodic rock with some electronic elements. At the same time, SUPER glad that One Step Closer didn't make the top 10. This was the first song/video I heard/watched from them, and I hated the whole thing. The music, the rap, his screamfest, the visuals. Seemed like a rock parody ala Limp Bizkit, and I hated that s**t. However, Crawling and Papercut made me change my mind and start my fandom :) I still have left: 1,2,4,8,9,10,11,12,18,22 I'm primarily surprised at Waiting for the End making the Top 10. I like the song (not in my top 10, but I like it enough to be glad at it being in the top 10), but thought it would be faced with more dislikes here. Still sad at A Light That never Comes not making the Top 10 The entire "SHUT UP WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU" screamfest in the bridge ruined what was otherwise an OK song. You're not the only one who's sad that "A Light That Never Comes" was gone so soon. I think I actually gave it the highest rating of everybody (#2). I like dubstep, partly because it's so strange, but also because it's the "heaviest" kind of EDM, so the lack of guitars in that song didn't bother me because they recruited Steve Aoki to make it heavy in his own way.

CRAWLING IN MY SKIN THESE WOUNDS, THEY WILL NOT HEAL
Look, I was there. It was funny then, and it's funny now. But it's definitely memorable.

This went out before Shadow of the Day? Now that's a big no-no.

Oh, right, forgot that I dropped this song (and "Crawling") down a spot after editing my ranking to take into account "One More Light". Oops. :kii:
Yeah, I underranked this one a bit. Could have put it top 20 without too much trouble.

10 ~ Crawling This should have been top 5. It's one of Linkin Park's hardest ,and most melodic ,Alt Rock songs.
9 ~ Leave Out All The Rest Also should have been top 5. So with "New Divide" also out early, this would have left me with only two more top 5 songs.
At least my fellow Rocksters can be rest assured, that I will finally rank some Linkin Park songs, really high when we get to the mid 2000s ;)

"One Step Closer" would have been my #1.
"Breaking The Habit" would have been my #2, so I'm glad it's still in.

I'll be posting more in a little but wanted to get these posted now. The final 7 features 3 songs from Meteora, 2 songs from Hybrid Theory and 2 songs from Minutes to Midnight. Can Meteora make it to the top 5 with 3 songs still in or will 2 of those songs be the next two to go? or will Hybrid Theory or Midnights to Midnight see both songs go next or one each? What songs will be missing the top 5? Find out later today! Final 7:Papercut In The End Somewhere I Belong Numb Breaking The Habit What I've Done Shadow of the Daymy thoughts on the final 7 is that I would be happy with any of them being #1 because they are all amazing songs. I have 1, 2, 6, 10, 13, 18 and 22 left and truly am excited to share how it all plays out. I will also post Album Track #2 later today and will post one of the remaining Album spotlights tonight.

I didn't have much time to post this week so I'm sorry I didn't really post my comments to the reveals. Really happy Crawling made the top 10, awesome song. Waiting For The End is a really good chill song, but they've done a bit better.
Ranks remaining: #1, 2, 4, 8, 9, 24, 33. Would love to see my #24 & #33 go out before the top 5.

I'll grant that "Crawling" sounds a little over the top, but it's certainly not the worst of their early songs in that regard, and it's got some nice melodic synth-pop vibes going for it. "One Step Closer" is a lot more obnoxious in my book, similar to the later "Giving Up", but at least OSC has a bit more going for it musically.
Really shocked "Leave Out All The Rest" made top 10, and am especially shocked that rock posters like it so much. To me it sounds every bit as poppy and sappy as anything from One More Light, and certainly less so than "Shadow of the Day", which has some '80s new wave and U2 vibes going for it. This one sounds like something that would have been on one of the Backstreet Boys' later albums, or something you'd hear on Contemporary Christian Radio (minus the religious lyrics).
"Waiting For The End", on the other hand, is awesome and still my favorite LP song.

1, 2, 3, 5, 13, 16, 18 left. I'm quite happy with that. :) I hope my #1 makes the top 5, but I'm not expecting it. I hope my 1, 2, 3 or 5 win (but as I said it's highly unlikely my 1 will win, so I'm mostly rooting for one of the other three to win).

8 ~ Waiting For The End I can either take or leave this song, but I hate the fucking MV, Bands shouldn't mess with death. It will come back for you.

It's good and I might have underranked it by a bit, but I still don't think it's top 10 worthy. Hopefully my #24 is next.
