I like Linkin Park's music a lot and have a couple of their albums, they were pioneers of what is called New Metal, combining electronic, heavy metal and rap, the lyrics of their songs are often wrought out of their own personal experience and a lot of people from various age groups are able to relate to. Chester Bennington the lead singer is a very talented vocalist, guitarist and pianist, and writes most of the lyrics and music for the band. This is why I like them.

You're wrong (sorry). They are not pioneers of nu-metal, that, er, distinction falls as far back to bands like Biohazard and Faith no More, who were both forging that path in the 80s.
To the OP, to try and open the door with your kids and classical music, maybe try and get them to note things like
Metallica's S&M concert, pairing their music with the San Francisco Symphony.
