Favourite Rage Against the Machine Song?

[bradrowe#32]

I - along with probably everyone else at my school - got the album because of 'Killing in the name,' but the first song I got into was 'Bombtrack.'

'Bulls on Parade' is a classic and I really like the cover they did of Springsteen's 'Ghost of Tom Joad.'

Bulls on Parade
Wake Up

 

[didaka]

Know Your Enemy by so so far.

People of the Sun and Vietnow next, with Township Rebellion and No Shelter close behind.

Bulls on parade and born of a broken man

They just have so many good songs, that if you were to ask for my favourite, it'd change every week

my favourite at the moment is:

Township Rebellion "Stand on a silent platform, fight the war, F*** the norm"

 

[Captain_Knowall]

I'm not a massive fan of them but I'd go for Bulls on Parade...

vietnow.

Bullet in the Head
Killing in the Name Of
Bulls on Parade
Guerilla Radio

Guerilla Radio. It was the first one I heard of and I've loved it since. Killing in the Name and People in the Sun come pretty close, especially the former. Tom Morello's sonic experimentation on that song is great. People of the Sun sounds like Greek music without a bouzouki and it works.

All their stuff is great but there's 3 that stand out for me.

Killing in the Name Of - the original classic. No matter how many times I hear it I still get goosebumps at the end when the the guitars kick back in - F**k you, I won't do what you tell me!

Wake Up - I'm a big hiphop fan and this is probably their best rock/hiphop fusion.

Renegades of Funk - just a seriously crankin song.

While we're talking RATM I just have to say that I reckon their original album cover with the monk burning himself is the greatest album cover ever.

I love Killing in the Name Of, Bombtrack, Bulls On Parade, Renegades of Funk.

I like Grinspoon but has anyone ever noticed Bleed You Dry and Killing In the Name Of sound similar.

The chorus of that song is a blatant ripoff of RATM's style, not just Killing in the Name

 

[Conan Troutman]

Born Of A Broken Man - awesome song, awesome guitar riff (the chorus one)

I know that I've posted in this thread earlier, but Freedom is the one I can't get enough of at the moment. I think that would be the most remarkable song to see live. Even by their amazingly high standards I think this song produces the most energy and there are so many different layers. The sheer anger at the end of the song would probably only be paralleled by the end of Killing In The Name.

Anger is a gift.

 

[Worthington]

'Settle for Nothing' gets my vote. Although it's in a relatively 'slow' tempo, it's actually an unstoppable powerhouse of a song, and sends shivers down my spine every time I hear it.

Yes. Word for word.

Freedom

Got it in one!
