i heard a Rage song on the radio today, it took me 30 seconds to figure out if it was "Sleep Now In The Fire" or "Testify," as it always does. obviously they're not the most versatile band in the world but it still blows my mind how they were able to release two virtually identical singles back to back.

lol tamtam

agreed ums

tamtam otm btw

Dunna dunna deddu
dunna dunna deddu
dunna dunna dunna
dunna dunna dunna

Yeah, people float UP!

Better turn the bass up on this one
Check it

SINCE ABOUT FIFTEEN HUNDRED B.C.
they've attacked from underseas
Only leaving broken ruins of the Egyptian dream
Crossin' the border and puttin'
Harpoons in us
Bringin' harsh war from the top
of their aquatic acropolis
This is how they get what they need to gut
The fish-eaters' bad breath got offensive on Tut
The sun god's kingdom is what they claim,
The spirit of Akhenaton...alive but tamed
The sea people came, but the Egyptians were weaker
ON THE THRONE! CAIRO! EGYPT-A!
The mummy tried to save his name... but he had to flee
Yeahhhhh THIS IS FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE SEA!

They're comin' back around again!
This is for the People of the Sea!
They're comin' to your house again!
They're ravagin' the land again!
This is for the People of the Sea!
They're comin' to Los Angeles!
Unh....

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
