I often find myself listening to Linkin Park...way too much.
Isn't that the American rockband from Agoura Hills, California?
That is correct. Their lead singer died a little under a year ago. 
That's really sad. They rose to fame in 2000 with their debut album "Hybrid Theory".
Their highest rated song on the Billboard charts is "In the End" from that album.
They also topped the billboard charts in 2003 with their second studio album "Meteora".
