Top 10 Best Covers of Linkin Park Songs

Given how it's been eight years since Chester's passing, I figured it might be interesting to look at some of the most interesting covers of a Linkin Park song.

To specify, I'm not including the original versions of Linkin Park songs. I'm only talking about covers done as a tribute to Chester by other music artists.

The Top Ten
  1. Breaking the Habit - The Broken View

    It goes for a more emotional resonance while not being as fast-paced as the original, building up its tension toward the latter half, which I think is quite impressive.

    I'd say it's probably the best cover of this song, honestly. Very commendable all around as far as I'm concerned.

  2. Numb - Fame on Fire

    This is more of a Metalcore spin on the song, which is certainly a different approach to take. The vocals are top-notch, and the melody is very solid as far as I'm concerned. It's a cover that does justice to the original while still offering its own identity, which I think is a good approach.

  3. Heavy - Our Last Night

    A nice balance between melodic and heavy, and one that doesn't overstay its welcome.

    I think the guest feature also helps with balancing things out so that the track doesn't feel too one-sided or one-dimensional as a whole.

  4. Burn It Down - Halocene

    An interesting female cover that I'd say is pretty enjoyable. It has grit, distortion, and a buildup that feels emotional and genuine while also still standing out in a way that just works in a way I can get behind.

  5. Breaking the Habit - Affiance

  6. Numb - Caleb Hyles

  7. In the End - NateWantsToBattle

    Arin Hanson's inclusion gives the cover a little bit of oomph for me and is honestly pretty enjoyable.

    It serves as a nice contrast to Nate's clean vocals, which are already solid on their own, and it's a commendable cover all around.

  8. Castle of Glass - Halocene

  9. Points of Authority - Set It Off

  10. Crawling - Tommy Vext

  11. The Newcomers
