There's only a few heavy songs. Blackout votes were interesting hahaha, that was my guess (f*cking transition). Thank you LPA ♥ And thank you for the methodology, I'll use it for my lists
Only 3 out of 25 are from Meteora. And all but Wretches and Kings and the interludes from ATS made the list. I'm... I'm so proud of you all. Sorry I couldn't be there.
The Requiem + The Radiance, ( come on they belong together) Fallout and Jornada Del Muerto deserved to make the list, replacing the 3 Meteora songs.
The only reason Im upset with WTCFMs position is bc it means I didn't win... But it's position is a win in itself in a way so whatevs. Also thank stars this list was not weighed down by Wretches and Kings. While, I do have more appreciation for that song now, I still consider it well, not great, and therefore unworthy.
I like the winner, unexpectable choice. For me the live version of WTCFM is better just because of the outro vocals. The only thing I'm not crazy about in studio version are those weirdly produced outro vocals. I hope LP Live will do the same thing to compare. This is huge hahaha
I voted for The Catalyst as my prediction for #1 because I remembered how much LPA loves ATS and specifically how much they love TC. But I totally should have seen WTCFM as the winner because I was around on LPA back when the meme of Ketchup was still insanely popular. Waiting For the End is my personal favorite from ATS and in my top 10 Linkin Park songs ever whereas The Catalyst sits around #17 for me but I just remember LPA liking TC a lot. Either way I would have been wrong with my votes. Personally, WTCFM doesn't crack my top 30 but I still absolutely love that song! There's very few LP songs I dislike from HT-LT album eras. Looking at your top 25 compared to my top 30, there are 13 songs we share the same so I call that a success. The only song in your top 25 that I dislike is Robot Boy so that is a plus! Very good list that I respect even if I disagree with some of the ordering of the top 25. On another related note: I was also wondering if you guys had a graphic like the honorable mentions graphic that you could share for the top 20 where it is all lines up together. It is cool if not, I just thought it would be cool to see the point values for all the songs and have the top 20 in one place in graphic form with the placements from everyone. If you don't have that I will probably try to edit together an image myself using screenshots from the Twitch vod. I think it would be cool to add the 5 honorable mentions as they are ordered to top 25 anyway and then change the title to top 25. I will probably make my own playlist like that if this chooses to stay just top 20.
I mean, they still made top 25. So there's that. Also, it should be noted that commercial success doesn't make it our favorites.
