Yeah, stating that they were groundbreaking is a weird and inaccurate statement. Sorry if a few people are going to call you out on it, just a strange thread in the first place.
After Rage Against The Machine's debut album in '92 there were a flood of bands doing the rap/rock thing. If anything Linkin Park were part of the 2nd tier of that scene and their 1st album was released 8 years later. They just did a good job of making that style palatable for the radio, had catchy hooks and slick production.
