RIP Chester Bennington
Discussion
On this subject. I'm a massive fan of Hybrid Theory, but own none of their other albums, which there are an awful lot of.
Without buying them all to work out which are the must haves, can anyone advise to the same effect which I should add to my collection? I'll just leave a few weeks to purchase, for some strange reason album prices on eBay have suddenly gone through the roof!

You really need to listen to Meteora, it's a great album with some belting songs - Faint and Numb are the two that seem to be most popular but I love the whole lot - brilliantWithout buying them all to work out which are the must haves, can anyone advise to the same effect which I should add to my collection?

Minutes to Midnight is a great album too, although something of a departure from their first two
Do you have Spotify? It's all on there and a free version (with adverts) is available me thinks

Spotify? I'm officially old since hitting 40 a few weeks ago! Joking aside, where music is concerned I haven't moved away from physical media, IE it's all CD based. I know, very backwards... I'll look up those albums, and any further recommendations welcome.
If you like a bit o' live music and can handle youtube (sorry ) this is well worth a listen:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0B18KMe94U
The whole album played live at Download in 2014
Great gig

I'd buy Hybrid theory, Meteora, Minutes to Midnight, A Thousand Suns. Listen to them in that order. The first two feel like part of the same album almost. Brilliant. Minutes has a nice departure with more vocal work from Mike (the rapper) and Thousand suns marks what I think is the bands musical maturity. Some great songs to be heard.There is also a Hybrid theory remix album called "Reanimation", the Jay Z collaboration album and various live albums which are all worth a listen if you get hooked on the band.
If you get through A thousand suns, you might want to buy 'Living things' and 'The hunting party' but personally I found it hard to remember all but the few catchiest singles on these two albums.
Their latest release 'One more light' is essentially a pop album with some interesting ideas and a few good tracks. It's growing on me, even if a few songs are pretty anonymous. The title song ' One more light' is a tear jerker, when thinking of Chester.
TL;DR
1. Hybrid Theory
2. Meteora
3. Minutes to Midnight
4. A Thousand Suns

I'd probably put hunting party above a thousand suns.There is also a Hybrid theory remix album called "Reanimation", the Jay Z collaboration album and various live albums which are all worth a listen if you get hooked on the band.
