I don't know if some people realize just how big LP was. Their popularity by all measures in numbers completely dwarfed any rock band in the last 20 years

yeah, they were huge

No.

Kurt was the face of grunge. Nirvana was on the top of its game when he died.

Maybe they'd be similar if Chester died in the mid-late 2000s. Like after Minutes to Midnight. Then you're might have an argument.

LP is still more popular than people give them credit for, but their height was during the nu-metal phase.

Kurt did way more for music than Chester ever did. He helped put grunge on the map while Chester was just another cog in the emorock scene.

If you're talking about musical content, then Chester has way more albums under his belt. More than half a dozen from linkin park, and even more from older bands(Gray Daze), and side projects as well. Chester also has been directly involved in Music For Relief, which is a non profit charity organization that Linkin Park opened in the Indian Ocean Earthquake of 2004.

But who gives a fuck about X singer/band being or doing better than the other? It's absolutely ridiculous you guys are aruging and pitting one tragically deceased musician over another and arguing who had better life accomplishments than the other. They've both made positive impacts on the lives of many in their own ways. Much of Linkin Park's music was giving people motivation and about getting past through obstacles, and they were pioneers of NU metal.

Primarily what I've been saying from the beginning. Both guys made good music and you guys are clownbabies for trying to make this some kind of competition.
