Every LP album has it's overrated and underrated songs. Here's my top 3 underrated list in no order, what's yours? Hybrid Theory 1. Papercut 2. Pushing me away 3. Forgotten Meteora 1. Figure.09 2. Easier to run 3. Nobody's listening Minutes to midnight 1. TLTGYA 2. Valentine's day 3. No more sorrow A thousand Suns 1. Blackout 2. Robot boy 3. WAK Living things 1. RU 2. UIB 3. IMR
I wouldn't really call most of your choices underrated. A lot of them are even fan favorites. I don't think I can come up with 3 underrated songs from each album - the songs are either good, or underrated for a reason. But there are several songs that never get any love and I find it weird. In Between - I was amazed when I heard it back in 2007. We had never heard of Mike singing and this one was truly beautiful. Most fans seem to hate it and consider it one of the band's weakest tracks, while it's one of my favorite MTM tracks (which says a lot, cause MTM is actually my favorite Linkin Park record). Robot Boy - boring? Monotone? Forgettable? Come on. It has like 20 vocal tracks, beautiful lyrics and atmosphere, plus FUCK YEAH, A SYNTH SOLO! I've always liked that track and the amount of effort put into it must have been huge. The Messenger - definitely one of my favorite Linkin Park songs. Acoustic Linkin Park song featuring incredible lyrics and probably my favorite Chester Bennington performance to date. I know it was shocking at the end of ATS, but come on, saying that Chester 'oversings' it or The Catalyst would be a better closer and The Messenger should not have been released is bullshit.

Hybrid Theory -Forgotten -By Myself Meteora -Hit The Floor Minutes to midnight -In Between A thousand Suns -Burning in the Skies Living things -IN MY REMAINS -- IMO there're over all only a very few songs which are unerrated unjustified.
I'm just going to clarify and say that the ones I choose that are underrated are my personal favorites on the album that may have never gotten played on the radio and it does not have high ratings on iTunes (that's right, I'm basing it off of iTunes). Some these songs may be your personal favorites, but just not that popular. Hybrid Theory -With You -By Myself -Forgotten Meteora -Easier Run (One of my personal favorite Linkin Park songs of all time) -Nobody's Listening -From The Inside Minutes to Midnight -The Little Things Give You Away (All time favorite Linkin Park song) -Hands Held High -Valentine's Day A Thousand Suns -Robot Boy -The Messenger -Jornada Del Meurto LIVING THINGS -ROADS UNTRAVELED -POWERLESS -I'LL BE GONE

I think roads untraveled is an awesome song that deserves alot of credit the lyrics are very strong And I can really relate to it
Hybrid Theory: With You, Forgotten, By Myself Meteora: Easier to Run, From the Inside, Somewhere I Belong MTM: LOATR, What I've Done, Hands Held High ATS: Burning in the Skies, The Catalyst, Blackout (pretty hard to find 3/9 songs underrated though) Living Things: In My Remains, Skin to Bone, Burn It Down Some of them are some of my favorites, others are just getting too much hate.
HT: By Myself, Forgotten, Cure for the Itch M: Hit the Floor, Easier to Run, Session MTM: Valentine's Day, In Between, In pieces ATS: Burning in the Skies, When They Come for Me LT: In My Remains, I'll Be Gone, Until It Breaks
Yeah, I understand that. Actually, The Little Things Give You Away and POWERLESS are my two favorite songs. But that's exactly why I said my list would contain songs that may be popular on here, but they don't get radio play at all and they aren't usually the favorite songs for the average Linkin Park fan. Plus their popularity on iTunes was pretty low.
Hybrid Theory - Forgotten - Cure for the Itch Meteora - Session Minutes To Midnight - In Between - Hands Held High - Valentine's Day A Thousand Suns - Robot Boy - The Messenger - The Requiem Living Things - Until it Breaks - Victimized - Skin to Bone I wouldn't say there's much on Hybrid Theory or Meteora that's underrated to the general LP fan.
And they're not the favorites of an average LP fan and they don't have a high popularity on iTunes. I had three different pieces of criteria.
This is very true, TLTGYA is a fan favorite here but outside of the hardcore fanbase no one cares for that song.
Hybrid Theory: "With You", "By Myself", "Forgotten" (the title says it all ) Meteora: "Lying from You", "From the Inside", Session" Minutes to Midnight: "Hands Held High", "Valentine's Day", "In Between" A Thousand Suns: "Burning in the Skies" (music video especially, that one is like my favorite LP video), "Robot Boy", "The Messenger" LIVING THINGS: "I'LL BE GONE", "ROADS UNTRAVELED", "SKIN TO BONE"
