Originally consisting of three high school friends, Linkin Park's foundation was anchored by Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, and Rob Bourdon. After graduating from high school, the California natives began to take their musical interests more seriously, recruitingJoe Hahn, Dave "Phoenix" Farrell, and Mark Wakefield to perform in their band, Xero.
Though limited in resources, the band began recording and producing songs within Shinoda's make-shift bedroom studio in 1996. Tensions and frustration within the band grew after they failed to land a record deal.The lack of success and stalemate in progress prompted Wakefield, at that time the band'svocalist, to leave the band in search for other projects. Farrell also left to tour with Tasty Snax and other bands.
After spending a considerable time searching for Wakefield's replacement, Xero recruitedArizona vocalist Chester Bennington. Jeff Blue, the vice president of Zomba Music, had referred him to the band in March 1999. Bennington, formerly of Grey Daze, became a standout among applicants because of his unique singing style.
The band changed its name from Xero to Hybrid Theory. The newborn vocal chemistry between Shinoda and Bennington helped revive the band, inciting them to work on new material. The band's renaissance culminated with a change in name; from Hybrid Theory, the band changed its name to Linkin Park, a play on and homage to Santa Monica's Lincoln Park.
However, despite these changes, the band still struggled to sign a record deal. After facing numerous rejections from several major record labels, Linkin Park turned to Jeff Blue for additional help. After failing to catch Warner Bros. Records on three previous reviews, Jeff Blue, now the vice president of Warner Bros. Records, helped the band sign a deal with the company in 1999. The band released its breakthrough album, Hybrid Theory, the following year.

Chester Bennington is the lead vocalist, but Mike Shinoda also plays a huge role in the vocals as he does the rapping, a lot of backing vocals, and even lead vocals in some of their newer songs.

No. But on the spring of 2010 you can be pretty sure, that there will be a new album from Linkin Park coming out :)
Linkin Park has become a regular on Transformers movie soundtracks, providing a song for each of the three movies. These songs are:
I remembered black skies, the lightning all around me
I remembered each flash as time began to blur
Like a startling sign that fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve
So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason to fill this hole, connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies across this new divide
There was nothing in sight but memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide, the ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in between where we were standing
And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve
So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes across this new divide
In every loss, in every lie, in every truth that you'd deny
And each regret and each goodbye was a mistake too great to hide
And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve
So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason to fill this hole, connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies across this new divide
Across this new divide, across this new divide
Mike shinoda is the lyricist of the group but im sure it wasn't only him.
Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda are actually the main lyricists, though the composers of In the End are listed as Linkin Park. No one in particular.
In the end, Numb, What iv'e done, Leave Out All The Rest, breaking the habit, New Divide, Blackbirds (blackbirds is new song made for LP's Game for iPhone, Ipod, Ipod touch and iPad it's really gr8 song and popular for people who have this game ;P) (and new divide is song made for movie Transformers : Revenge Of The Fallen you can hear it everytime in this movie you should watch it =) ) ( and leave out all the rest song is just a song and you can hear it in the movie called twilight some people say "lp made this song for twilght" it's not true!! it's just a soundtrack ;) so don't believe in this ... peace
