Personally, I'll take SOAD. Some of their songs are a bit cringe, just in how they're produced where the lead singer sounds like an angry child screaming a bunch of nonsense, with no sense of vocal direction or range. However, despite all that, they have a very unique style that gets infectious after a while. I actually got into them for a bit.
With Linkin Park, shit, if you've heard "Numb", you've heard every single LP song ever made. It all sounds the same.
