Well, you've beat me to the punch with Hybrid Theory, that really is the album from my youth. It really helped influence my taste further down the road, allowing to branch out from just "rock" into electronica, hip-hop and rap. I really think nu metal is an underrated genre.
After Hybrid Theory, I'd probably have to say Red Hot Chili Peppers - By The Way is probably the second album that reflects the songs from my youth. Throw Away Your Television, The Zephyr Song and Can't Stop are just timeless classics in my book.

Yeah well I liked Limp Bizkit (however cheesy they were!), but Linkin Park offered something abit new and more 'serious'. Have you listened to Fort Minor? I quite like them actually I listened to the album not long ago. And also the Jay Z Linkin Park Mashup I LOVE!
Good choice with RHCP - I was more into Californication, but pretty much every album they released in awesome. One Hot Minute is their most under rated !
Limp Bizkit are still on my shower playlist! But you're right, they felt far more gimmicky than Linkin Park. Sadly I couldn't get into Minutes to Midnight and pretty much stopped paying them any attention after that. Sad now really. That mashup was my gateway to Jay-Z.
Oh definitely, OHM never gets the attention it deserves.
SO gimmicky, but still pretty good! Have you listened to A Thousand Suns? Even thoguh I like Hybrid Theory more, for the singalong value, I think that A thousand Suns is Linkin Parks best (and most under rated album). Its a masterpiece in my opinion.
I didnt really like the new album it was to pop for me!
My Generation will always be a classic. In fact, I loved Limp Bizkit so much I did a youtube video in like 2006 for Rollin'. If you promise not to cringe too hard, check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N24MdhaR08c
I haven't, I'll be honest and say I didn't even know it existed! I'll get hold of that one now and give it a go this afternoon. I did hear their latest song before Chester passed away, and I really wasn't very impressed with it. I think it was called Heavy, which must have been an ironic title.
You asked about Fort Minor as well which is a name I haven't heard for so long! I remember listening to The Rising Tied many years ago and really enjoyed it, I'll have to go find the rest of his solo stuff.
You are in for a treat with A Thousand Suns! I am actually going to listen to it now! Its much different to the rest of their stuff!
I've tracked it down on Google Play Music, so I'll pop that on while I get some gardening done tomorrow (weather permitting).
👍let me know how you get on! Its a concept album so best to listen to it all in one go!
HAHA that video was amazing! I wish I was that cool!
