The full album Green Onions would set the template for that sweet Stax soul sound. When Stax president Jim Stewart hit the вЂњrecordвЂќ button and released the instrumental вЂњGreen Onions,вЂќ one of the first multi-racial bands was born-as well as the studioвЂ™s first #1 single. Jones was messing around at Stax, where he, guitarist Steve Cropper, upright bassist Lewie Steinberg and drummer Al Jackson Jr. In the summer of 1962, a 17-year-old organ player named Booker T. However, weвЂ™ve barely scratched the surface to avoid making this just a list of Beatles and Bob Dylan records, weвЂ™ve limited it to three albums per artist-which means some incredible works like Rubber Soul, The White Album and Bringing It All Back Home, while highly recommended by us, had to get bumped this time around.Д¦0. In other words, the вЂ60s produced some of the greatest records of all time, but beyond that, itвЂ™s the decade taught us what music could-and should-truly be.ДЄs with our previous decades lists, we polled our staff, interns and writers and whittled it down to our 60 favorite albums. As the Vietnam War escalated and a nation tuned in, turned on and dropped out, the protest song became an important part of American life. Black kids and white kids started listening to the same records-a tiny sliver of common ground for future generations to build upon as the battle for equality raged on. Of course, nothing exists in a vacuum, and many of the groundbreaking artists who rose to prominence in the decade borrowed heavily from the artists who came before them, but looking back, thereвЂ™s no denying the 1960s were some sort of scary, beautiful explosion of sound.ДЄll of a sudden, there were screaming girls, weeping and tearing their clothes off as they watched their teen idols perform. On the track, Bennington sings, 'Who cares if one more light goes out?/Well I do.' Legions of fans do, too.If music as we know it today is our universe, the 1960s are the Big Bang. A stripped-down piano version of 'Crawling' reveals his inimitable ability to channel pain and anguish into shared catharsis, while a dramatic take on 'One More Light' becomes the most lasting memory of an already enduring legacy. Midway through the set, the band steps back and Bennington takes center stage, performing in the crowd surrounded by fans in the album's finest segment. With emotions running high, One More Light: Live serves as a natural part of the grieving process for the band and their followers, as well as a document preserving Linkin Park's place as one of the world's biggest rock acts of the 2000s. Songs like 'Nobody Can Save Me,' 'Heavy,' and 'In the End' are almost prophetic, especially the latter, which is an overwhelming gut-punch where the lyrics become all too literal.

One More Light tracks like 'Battle Symphony' and 'Talking to Myself' benefit from the live setting, energizing the pop-polished studio versions with raw stage power, while at the same time shining brightness onto an otherwise extended, bittersweet eulogy composed of familiar anthems like 'Leave Out All the Rest,' 'Numb,' and 'What I've Done.' While it's difficult to not impose new meaning onto these songs - especially with the tragic benefit of hindsight - Bennington's lyrics become loaded with even more poignancy and haunting depth, like the rap-rock generation's version of Nirvana's MTV Unplugged set. Front-loaded with songs taken from One More Light, Live culls half of its set from that album (including a show-stopping appearance by grime rapper Stormzy on 'Good Goodbye'), with a scattering of their biggest hits and some deep cuts to properly span their eras. Recorded on the South American and European dates of the tour supporting the band's final album with the vocalist, One More Light: Live serves as Bennington's triumphant final bow, the last contribution of a life-changing career. Almost five months after lead singer Chester Bennington took his own life, Linkin Park released the compilation One More Light: Live.
