Subject: Which Rock Band Was Bigger In The Fall Of 2001: Linkin Park OR Staind?

Written By: Videl Satan on 06/19/20 at 6:02 pm

I'd say Linkin Park, just because 2001 was their breakout year and all their singles off of Hybrid Theory were already in massive rotation on the radio and MTV by Mid-To-Late 2001 and Hybrid Theory was selling like hot cakes.

It's been awhile since I listened to Staind.  In the end, I think Linkin Park are the winners 

:D

Definitely Linkin Park. I don’t remember people claiming they were Staind fans. They were usually grouped in with Creed and Nickelback.

In 2001, Linkin Park had 6 members to the band while Staind had 4, thus Linkin Park were bigger.

Linkin Park for sure. They had many songs I remember. I never even heard of staind for a long time, but they did have 1 or 2 songs I knew.

Staind "It's been a while" I think was there most notable song outside of their heavier and less recognized nu metal singles from 1999.

I remember that song was very overplayed by summer 2001 to the point of being a bit cringe. It's hard to tell but I think Linkin Park seemed to have a more variety of singles at the time and were a bit bigger as a band, and I think they had a remix album out back then.
