Rage Against the Machine : Classic or Dud

someone puts on rage songs at the gym in the morning and like holy shit they were awesome weren't they.

they have aged really well to my ears. i was not a fan at the time. that kind of thing was not my speed. but god they sound refreshing in a playlist of .. whatever new aggressive trash kids like in 2020.

i was feeling very "rage against the machine" yesterday, haven't listened to em in years but maybe i should.

Renegades is (mostly) extremely fun imo. underrated!

Their cover of "Renegades of Funk" is pretty awesome.

Renegades of Funk is a great gym song.

I think Renegades contains the only songs I like playing by them. Their hip hop covers - Eric B. & Rakim's "Microphone Fiend", Volume 10's "Pistol Grip Pump", EPMD's "I'm Housin'", but specially Cypress Hill's "How I Could Just Kill a Man" and AB’s “Renegades of Funk - are all fun to listen to imho.

^^^gets it

I definitely wished that Prophets of Rage had leaned into doing more Cypress and PE stuff in RATM style

Renegades is such a great album

Battle of Los Angeles my other fave

Not exactly what we had in mind https://t.co/RydKGCk9RA
