14,Linkin Park-Hybrid Theory(2000)

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park may not be the most complex or innovative record ever, but it is one of the most purely enjoyable records I have ever heard. I have a lot of fond memories of this record and it was the record that got me into heavier music. Besides nostalgia value, this record is full of great songs. Chester Bennington really is a great vocalist and his work on this album is really overlooked. Hybrid Theory is just a really fantastic piece of hard rock that always be Linkin Park's masterwork and a monumental album in my life.

34.Linkin Park-Meteora(2003)

Linkin Park's 2nd album continues on what Hybrid Theory started, make kick ass hard rock. Unlike most band's with a hip hop influence, Linkin Park knew how to write great songs. Meteora knows what is and has a clear vision and direction as an album(the same can't be said for the two dogshit albums they have released since this). Meteora is a hard rock record that has held up extremely well over the years and every time I hear it reminds me of how great Linkin Park was in the beginning.

33.Queens Of The Stone Age-Lullabies To Paralyze(2005)

Queens Of The Stone Age has always sound that I really like. I have always been a big fan of Josh Homme and all of his diverse projects over the years. Lullabies To Paralyze isn't drastically different than Songs For The Deaf, their previous album, but it's different enough to be pretty much just as amazing. Homme strings together collection of distorted yet killer riffs and his vocals are equally as good as in past efforts. Queens Of The Stone Age remains a force to be reckoned with the alternative rock field.
