...place where the stars shopped--some of its earliest customers included members of Led Zeppelin and the Beach Boys. Since then, the chain has kept its focus on professional musicians by maintaining an artist-relations staff to provide personal service to Willie Nelson, Run-D.M.C. and Limp Bizkit, among others--loaning them equipment and stocking the rare and vintage instruments they favor. The store's reputation as a hangout for pros creates a "cool factor" that is seductive to musical neophytes and serious hobbyists, says Sharon Zackfia, an analyst at William Blair...

From the manufactured rage of groups like Korn and Limp Bizkit, to the greasy puppy love of boy bands, the shameless narcissism of divas like Mariah Carey and the pseudo-bohemian Urban Outfitters rock of the Hives and the Strokes, the product is the same: a few catchy tunes and a sterile, hollow image...

But Linkin Park also exemplifies hard rock at its most open-minded, with a line-up that includes a rapper and a D.J.; nearly every song juxtaposes heavy riffs with ambient electronic sounds. If none of this seems revolutionary, thank Korn, Limp Bizkit and Rage Against the Machine, who transformed rap-metal from a novelty into a commonplace...
