Default Most versatile band of all time.

Hi people.
What is, in your opinion, the most versatile band of all time?
Some people say it's Queen, others say it's Frank Zappa...
But I think that no band comes even close to Linkin Park in terms of versatility. Now, if you've only listened to the first two records, you might say that I'm crazy... But after "Meteora" they started experimenting a lot, and I mean A LOT.
I'll give you some examples. Listen to these songs:

"War"
"H! Vltg3"
"Pushing Me Away" (2007 Live Version)
"The Messenger"
"The Catalyst"
"Until It's Gone"
"Skin To Bone"
"New Divide"

Just to name a few.
They go from Metal to Hip-Hop, alt. rock, electronica, melodic... But they're best known for mixing all together.
Songs like "Figure. 09" are a perfect example of their earlier nu metal sound. If you listen to these song and don't know it's Linkin Park, you could easily think you're listening to different bands.

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.

The most versatile band is Muse.

The most versatile band is clearly Metallica.

Hard Rock AND Metal? In the same band? Crazy!

Before I clicked, I saw you posted in here and was thinking: "Please don't post Led Zeppelin, please don't post Led Zeppelin, please don't post Led Zeppelin...", and then I opened the thread and was even more mortified.

That's a good one. hehe

On another note, my daughter just posted "Led Zeppelin!" on bookface. Nothing with it, just "Led Zeppelin!". I think she found Led Zeppelin. Funny, her favorite artist at 8 years old was Jeff Beck.

Let's see if you're right.

War - This surprised me. This is punk rock.
H! Vltg3 - ****ty hip hop
Pushing Me Away (2007 Live Version) - ****ty piano song
The Messenger - ****ty power ballad
The Catalyst - ****ty hard rock
Until It's Gone - decent alt. Rock song
Skin To Bone - also alt rock... though ****ty alt rock.
New Divide - more alt rocrock.

So you said they're more versatile than frank zappa? I don't know his discography well enough to comment so I'll let RYM comment.

Quote:
Experimental Rock, Jazz-Rock, Comedy Rock, Jazz Fusion, Art Rock, Satire
While linkin park is

Quote:
Nu Metal, Rap Rock, Alternative Rock, Pop Rock, Mashup, Hip Hop
So, anyone who does know frank zappa's discog like to comment?

He's a little more diverse than them I think. Just barely.
