Linkin Park released Living Things, their first studio album in two years, earlier this month. Like their previous two albums, it was produced by Rick Rubin and member Mike Shinoda. Industry experts expect it to debut at Number One on the Billboard 200 next week, though Maroon 5's new disc Overexposed is posing a strong challenge for the top spot. (There's probably less than 10 people who bought both discs this week.)

Our question for you this week is: What is the best Linkin Park song of all time? They have a ton of tracks to pick from, but do you prefer the old-school stuff from Hybrid Theory, deep cuts like "Session" or even their new single "Burn It Down?"

“Everyday People”

Sly and the Family Stone | 1968

"Everyday People" managed to trailblaze in two different ways -- it was one of the first pop hits to deal with the subject of racial harmony, and it utilized Larry Graham's "slap" technique on the bass guitar, which would soon be copied by countless other bassists. Graham once said about his pulsating style, "I'd never done that before … that's where the freedom of creativity came in for the band, that we'd be allowed to do that." In 1978, the song's line "Different strokes for different folks" would be borrowed for the title of the hit television show Diff'rent Strokes.
