Band vs. Band: Linkin Park, Hoobastank, and P.O.D.
Back in the days of MySpace, Windows 2000, and Napster, little 11 to 14 year old me was playing real time strategy games like Command and Conquer and Age of Empires, coming out of a long-running LEGO phase (which has since been revitalized by the way), and moving away from the music I grew up listening to which includes but is not limited to: Parliament Funkadelic, James Brown, Paul Wilbur, CCM in general, the local radio station B97.5 that played at the local public pool. I started getting into something heavy and rebellious, where heavy hard-rock post-grunge guitars met rapped and sung vocals, with themes of inner turmoil and heartbreak.
