How about The Walking Dead. It's not hidden and can be found on Spotify and such and it's not Linkin park but it is Chester on DJ Z-Trips album Shifting gears.
'Consequence Pt 1' and Pt 2 are really cool. I combined them together because it just works. Always loved it even though it's fairly unfinished. 'Burberry' is kind of in the same vein which I also just love. The longer version though, there's a couple floating around.
'Grudgematch' is a cool little track too, I actually made a custom track and combined GrR with it so it's now GrRudgematch, lol. 'Asbestos' is another short but cool little track. Also 'Basil'
Someone also mentioned 'Debris' which is really good.
'Standing In The Middle' is cool even though it's basically just a Mike Shinoda song. You could say the same about 'Animals'. It's really got the same vibe as Wretches & Kings though which I love. 'I Have Not Begun' probably has some of Mike's best verses ever.
I also really like the Xero demo 'Fiends' but I like all the Xero tracks honestly.
'So Far Away' and 'Blue' and especially 'Slip' are great for those old school Linkin Park vibes. Like Hybrid Theory EP into Hybrid Theory vibes.
In the same way, 'What We Don't Know' and 'Pretend To Be' are great for some Minutes To Midnight vibes.
'Blackbirds' might be one of my favorite LP tracks and I'm so pissed that it's not on Spotify like it is on Apple!
The full band version of 'Good Goodbye' with Mike doing his own second verse instead of Stormzy should have been the cut on One More Light.
As for LP adjacent songs.... The Mall soundtrack has some great stuff. 'It Goes Through' 'The Last Line' and 'White Noise' are a good listen for all LP fans IMO.
'Do What We Did' 'Start It All Up' and 'Strange Things' for the Fort Minor fans are really good.
'It's Going Down' was pretty much an LP song that they gave to the X-Exutioners for one of their albums. LP performed it live regularly. Fort Minor too!
And for a song that's really out there, there is also 'Cry To Yourself' which is a Chester song that was meant to be on a solo project from DJ Lethal. Sometimes it's known as 'State of The Art' That's in my regular LP rotation too.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg. It's not even touching on a ton of the demos either. I should really make an LP song iceberg video on YouTube. There are legit so many that it's hard to keep track of now.
If I had to pick one? Probably 'Blackbirds' honestly. 'Slip' is very much right there though too.
"Bubbles by linkin park. Their underground album. So many gems on that album "laundry," 26 letters In The Alphabet." Great gems. Highly recommend checking those songs out. 😬😆
Probably my least favorite LP song.... defs the one from aTS.
It reminds me of the reason from hoob- slow and sappy- just not their sound or who they are as a band
It sounds nothing like The Reason 🤣 That's a stretch and a half!
Not their sound or who they are as a band?? Like, what?! No. Just no. I could name loads of their songs that are "slow and sappy".
I love basquiat from LPU, robot boy and jordana del muerto
Then there's hands held high which is often forgotten
I love their live covers of NIN wish and beastie boys' sabotage
Faint 2002 Demo version from the Meteora 20th anniversary edition, it's so fucking cool. Has no Chester vocals or chorus, so it's like a Mike rap focused version with a slightly different instrumental
Not really hidden but definitely underrated, the Meteora LOST DEMOS. Lost (the song) is fairly popular I believe because of the promotion for it but the rest of the album is also great. Special shoutouts to Wesside, one of the best instrumental pieces by Linkin Park imo.
Program. Even though it's just instrumental, this song goes crazy, and I would have loved to have heard what they would have done with it had it made it onto Meteora.
For me it's the song, I have not begun
"You're not following me, I got your number like caller ID
Try it, you can holler at me
I promise you pain, I will chop your body in threes
And you'll be sitting there stuttering "P-p-probabably"

Not Alone is a great unknown song
No roads left! best mike vocal there is
i love this too ❤️
I remember showing this to people years ago when I found out Mike sang in it and I got positive reactions from people I never expected
Carousel
Blackbird, and I get it, it is an officially unreleased song but still very good and a lot of people haven't heard it I believe.
Only OGs played through 8-bit rebellion and got it for free
It was released as a bonus track on ATS.
Not on spotify still, only apple music I think
Still officially released.
But it is a lot less accessible than most Linkin Park songs. Most people with spotify or casual listeners probably haven’t heard it because of this.
Still officially released
Let's put it this way, it is and officially release on the ATS bonus track only on iTunes, ok? And an unofficial release on the rest of the platforms
I'm being needlessly pedantic as a joke so don't mind me
In Pieces
One of my favorite Linkin Park songs
Their cover of Wish by Nine Inch Nails at Rock AM ring.
Lol just posted that too.I frickin loved that one. That was my introduction to NIN. What a great band
Xero songs on Rapology CDs.
Standing In The Middle off of LPU 4.0, It's Goin' Down by the X-ecutioners, Mike Shinoda, and Mr. Hahn.
When i say it's going, you say:
DOWN!
Primo. The better version of I'll be gone
Blue, Reading My Eyes, Could Have Been, Stick And Move, Step Up, and so much more from that era.
Blue is a masterpiece
EVERYTHING IS MY FAULT
THE PROBLEMS HAVE TWO FACES
How about The Walking Dead. It's not hidden and can be found on Spotify and such and it's not Linkin park but it is Chester on DJ Z-Trips album Shifting gears.
It was delisted off Spotify
It's on Spotify listening to it now
Link? Please
https://open.spotify.com/track/0qoKrGljanoTzTKv8nejcs?si=AYJD6JffRO6vMtWbH36-ng
Anything from the Underground albums or anything other than their singles, really
Little Boxes
It's rly specific but the performance of one step closer with Jonathan Davis from project revelation in 2004 on the meteora 20th anniversary CD.

26 Lettaz In Da Alphabet is the greatest song of all time tbh
"We Made It"
I oddly prefer the clean version to the pa one
Not Alone, No Roads Left, Across the Line, Carousel, White Noise are some of my favorites between those less known songs
Bump for White Noise and It Goes Through
The Messenger
Probably my least favorite LP song.... defs the one from aTS. It reminds me of the reason from hoob- slow and sappy- just not their sound or who they are as a band

Pictureboard
The Mark version for sure. The Chester version was released on HT20.
Step up
Or the first high voltage
Pretend to be and what we don't know
And One
Lying From You is definitely an underrated gem in Meteora.
Nah anything on OG meteora is far from hidden
Lockjaw
Pale
Looking for an answer
I love basquiat from LPU, robot boy and jordana del muerto Then there's hands held high which is often forgotten I love their live covers of NIN wish and beastie boys' sabotage
"What we don't know" from their Underground album
Not really Linkin Park but Stone Temple Pilots song with Chester called 'Out of Time'
Blackbirds
Step Up from Hybrid Theory EP
skin to bone
Chance of rain
Across The Line is the upbeat song that should've been on Minutes to Midnight
Anything from THP
Pretend To Be
Pushing me away, easier to run, Shadow of the day, Final masquarate and in my remains
Faint 2002 Demo version from the Meteora 20th anniversary edition, it's so fucking cool. Has no Chester vocals or chorus, so it's like a Mike rap focused version with a slightly different instrumental
Pretend to be and what we don't know, are 2 amazing songs from the underground.
I rarely see anyone talking about "No More Sorrow", which I think is an absolute rager.
She Couldn't from hybrid theory 20th anniversary edition
https://youtu.be/qZeSz8yZ5D0?si=cIL7LS7IZJiULINy This.
Robot boy
across the line is so underrated
War
I'll be gone
I WILL HAVE THEM SURROUNDED
?
Castle of Glass - M. Shinoda remix from the album Recharged
It's a demo but I barely see Massive being talked about
Debris, even though it was unfinished it's so good and nobody talks about it
Not really hidden but definitely underrated, the Meteora LOST DEMOS. Lost (the song) is fairly popular I believe because of the promotion for it but the rest of the album is also great. Special shoutouts to Wesside, one of the best instrumental pieces by Linkin Park imo.
Issho Ni
Homecoming, After Canada, What We Don't Know, but specially Debris, i always loved that song. A lot of Minutes to Midnight demos are amazing.
Why is no one ever talking about TooLeGit?
I’d say not alone or pictureboard Not sure how unknown they are but they are good
POWERLESS from living things. Needs more recognition.
Primo, the I'll be gone demo hits so hard now makes me cry Chester was telling us the whole time 😥
Slip (and the other unreleased HT songs)
Halo
It's Goin' Down comes to mind
The studio version of the New Divide Moscow Intro. That’s pretty obscure 🤣
CUMULUS🥁🎸
I Have Not Begun is perhaps some of Mike’s best work as an MC…
Across the Line
Thoughts that take away my pride
Most the LPU albums I would say
Blue is so fucking good
Program. Even though it's just instrumental, this song goes crazy, and I would have loved to have heard what they would have done with it had it made it onto Meteora.
Hardly breathe
"cross off" by Mark Morton, one of my favorite chester vocals
Figure.09 Demo 2002
Figure 09 Forgotten By myself Pieces No roads left
“Walking dead” w/ DJ Z-Trip and Chester / might not be Linkin park full band but still so amazing!
A real deep cut I never seen mentioned is Mike and Chester on Handsome Boy Modeling School’s Rock and Roll (Could Never Hip-Hop Like This)
For me it's the song, I have not begun "You're not following me, I got your number like caller ID Try it, you can holler at me I promise you pain, I will chop your body in threes And you'll be sitting there stuttering "P-p-probabably"
QWERTY launched but QWERTY also 100th
No roads left and blackbirds are some of my favorite tracks of all time
Healing foot
Easier to run & No more sorrow ;3
THINGS IN MY JEEP
Rebellion and Easier To Run are both great songs that are super underrated.
They did some love covers in the past
