Rage Against the Machine

The name says it all. Rage Against the Machine was a political and musical force that could not be reckoned with.

Every aspect of Rage Against the Machine throttled the status quo. Formed in 1991, the Los Angeles quartet took aim at oppressive systems of power – cultural, political, economic, and otherwise – and did everything they could to foment a revolution. Musically, Rage Against the Machine’s subversion involved molten hybrids of hip-hop, punk, metal, funk, and rock. More at rockhall.com...
