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?"

“He Will Break Your Heart”

Jerry Butler | 1960

A lightly swinging Latin-influenced, almost cha-cha groove and close harmonies decorated Jerry Butler's early soul hit "He Will Break Your Heart," delivering a stately warning that his rival would never love his girl like he did. The melody came to Butler as he was driving on the highway from Atlantic City, New Jersey, to Philadelphia with Curtis Mayfield, and as Butler told Rolling Stone, "I just sang the melody and Curtis put the chords to it." The song's premise, Butler added, "was something that I'd lived ...The lyric was an experience rather than a revelation. Whereas music is usually a revelation."
