calm like a lol: the RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE singles poll

oh, and i just remembered that the band would have been called Rage Against the Time Machine which is maybe the best band name I've ever been involved with making up, oh man

ahaha

yo it's time for doctor casino!

Freedom

Killing In The Name is gonna win.. that sucks.

How I Could Just Kill A Man

ok this title is lol

oh it's a cover I see... Still lol imaging Zachary intoning those words.

Zachary = Zach, dumb iPhone

tbf his name is actually zachary so yr phone is otm

actually i have no idea what his real name is

zorro de la rocha

oh my god

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

i am forever going to call him "zorro de la rocha" now. it's like when my mom called r. kelly "romulus kelly." he would always be romulus to me from then on out.

ahahaha, that's good!

im listening to tom joad rn and i forgot that zorro de la rocha does a hilarious mumbly bruce impression on this

i would never start an ILM poll that at the drive-in would win

nah, burn piano island burn is the true rr masterpiece

canks otm all over this thread. they had some amazing songs, and i lived and breathed that first album all through my sixteenth year, but i'm torn between people of the sun and bulls on parade.

that said, the covers album was dogshit.

haha i lived and breathed the covers album during MY sixteenth year. loved the street fighting man cover tbh

DUN DA DUN DA DA DUN DAAA DAAAAA

haha i lived and breathed the covers album during MY sixteenth year. loved the street fighting man cover tbh

yeah for w/e reason during my youth we jammed the covers album waaay more than any of the others, although the s/t is the one i own

still maintain that 'tom joad' is getting way undersold here

nahhh. strongo OTM.

saw a band dressed as Batman, Superman, Spiderman & Aquaman tear through "Killing In The Name" in the Latin Quarter this June, & it ruled, so I voted that

i would never start an ILM poll that at the drive-in would win

you know that, and i know that, but fake-ass ilm consensus as a whole would not favor blood brothers over at the drive-in, i'm afraid

"Bulls" beating "Killing" is an unjustice so great i want to write a fiery rap rock anthem in protest

i do wonder if this is an age split too

bulls on parade was the first rage single i ever heard and i submit that i'm not the only one who was 6 when the debut came out

I wasnt't 6 but yeah, Bulls was the first Rage i ever heard and it totally blew my 10th grade MTV mind.

YO IT'S TIME FOR RAGE

i love the way he angrily yells FOR EXAMPLE

Am I the only one who wants to know what Aquaman was playing? He's got a harpoon for an arm.

Am I alone in thinking Rage were one of the worst bands of all time?

aw c'mon mr snrub, have you never attended a "local music" show? nobody has ever heard of the worst band of all time. any band that can manage to have any number of actual fans is well, well ahead of the pack...

what does ilm think about prophets of rage?

Would have voted for 'Sleep Now In The Fire'

Just had to go and watch the video again, because I haven't seen it for years... is that someone holding up a "Trump For President" sign at 1:04 !?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w211KOQ5BMI

Coca-Cola is back in the veins of Saigon
And Rambo too, he's got a dope pair of Nikes on
Godzilla, pure mothafuckin' filler
Keep your eyes off the real killer
Cinema, simulated life, ill drama
Fourth Reich culture, Americana
Chained to the dream they got you searchin' for
The thin line between entertainment and war

i know these guys are kind of easy to clown on but these are some pretty awesome anti-capitalist, Seattle '99 type lyrics that they somehow got onto the platinum-certified soundtrack of a $150 million dollar Godzilla movie. that kind of trojan-horse corporate subversion thing shows its weaknesses a lot more in 2020 than it did in 1998 but it's still p cool they did that imho. i mean if they just wanted the paycheck they could have just rapped about special effects and the terrible chemistry between Matthew Broderick and Maria Pitillo.

i do not find it easy to clown on rage. i listened to all three records yesterday and they undeniably rock

would've voted for "down rodeo"
