I wasn't really much of a listener of music but my friend showed me 'Numb' and 'Breaking The Habit' and I thought they were pretty cool songs.
In 2007 I bought an iPod but had no idea what to put on it (lol). I searched Linkin Park, found MTM, downloaded it, ended up becoming hooked on 'Valentine's Day' and then I went and got all the albums.
Hated HT and Meteora at first but one day everything just clicked!
