If my dad didn't buy me my first Linkin Park album, Meteora, I wouldn't have gotten their previous albums,Hybrid Theory, Reanimation, nor the subsequent albums Minutes To Midnight and A Thousand Suns. I would have missed the opportunity of listening to the music of a band which is actually realistic - people who grow up and are more aware of the current affairs and reflect their maturity in their music.

Thank you dad, and an early happy birthday. I'll share my music with you, whether you like it or not ^^
