» The year was 2000 and Linkin Park had just released their debut album, Hybrid Theory. Fronted by Chester Bennington, the LA band brought to the global music scene, then perforated by the likes of Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears, a little something different.

With 27 million copies sold, Hybrid Theory ranks as one of the world's best-selling albums.
