Well there is clearly only one choice here. Every other song they ever wrote is a pale reflection of their magnificent first single.

From their horrendously awful covers album, yes...
battle of los angeles is a tremendously underrated album.I feel the exact opposite about it.. It's the only one I ever see getting any credit, and to me it's the most derivative out of the three 90s records.. They sounded like the lost something exciting and gained something dreadful on those last 2 albums from 99 and 2000, foreshadowing the Audioslave disaster. Their image around the time of those 2 albums didn't help either.. YTimK .. the VMA's thing .. and those lame Michael Moore-directed videos - all of which charted on TRL .. They seemed to become a caricature.

the guy only has one riffI disagree, but he sure loves Tony Iommi.

i still fuck with evil empire. they lost the everything-and-the-kitchen-sink song structures of the first record but still had ideas. it's just a great-sounding record too, everything sounds really organic and big.

I used to hate these guys. Loved their politics, hated their music. Ham-fisted, comically overwrought, monochromatic. But I love Battle Of Los Angeles. They learned how to swing. Voted "Guerilla Radio."

the world is in dire need of new material by rage against the machine. the world screams ""revolution now!" & r.a.t.m. are able to give us the most perfect sound & content to support this need.
WHAT BETTER PLACE THAN HERE, WHAT BETTER TIME THAN NOW!

As much as I love the first album, "bulls" is totally the perfection of that sound. Best riff too.

hardcore-ish riffs with breakdowns was a good look for them, instead of the other way around:

The s/t album.. You just had to lol with delight the first time you heard badass "bombtrack" kick into gear.

I gotta admit, if there actually had been a mass youth revolution against global capital in the late '90s, Rage would have made a kick ass soundtrack for it, no pussyfooting around with these guys. "ALL! HELL! CAN'T STOP US NOW!" vs. "I'd like to teach the world to sing..." etc.
Also, when I first heard it, was convinced the title line in "Bulls on Parade" was "Yo, it's time for rage!"

i've thought about making this poll so many times over the past few years but the thought of it becoming a two horse race between "Killing" and "Bulls" just depressed me so i didn't bother

xxxp my other talent show experiences:
- rapping "parents just dont understand" at the talent show in 3rd grade- auditioning for the talent show in 4th grade with "blame it on the rain," not making the cut ;_;

My favorite 45 seconds are the start of Killing In the Name Of, but I don't like the rest of the song as much as I like the rest of Bulls on Parade or Renegades.
Bonus points for the Down Rodeo came on when I was driving back from Westwood to the apartment I lived in on the outskirts of Beverly Hills, and I detoured down Rodeo Dr. and turned the radio all the way up for fun. Even though mostly it reminded me that the most of the wealthy people one sees on Rodeo Drive are not exactly the grandchildren of slaveholders.

Bullet in the Head. The way it builds is ludicrously exciting. Amazing that they pretty much had the whole album written and recorded within a few weeks of getting together. They knew exactly what they were doing.
Admire No Shelter for it's shitting-where-you-eat lyric and video.
