they’re calm like a bomb welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 Rage
Against the Machine songs
for this list we’ve chosen our entries
based on a combination of the artists
fan favorites and their most
commercially successful songs
number ten no shelter
this song acts as a critique of the
media’s ability to divert our attention
from the planets more pressing issues
it also touches upon consumerism which
is highlighted in its industrial
revolution styled music video featured
on the soundtrack of the 1998 Godzilla
movie no shelters sound is typical rage
with a punchy we drip and several
crescendos followed by lead max Zack de
la Rocha screaming vocals
number nine down rodeo
shocking poverty and discrimination and
specifically highlighting Beverly Hills
luxurious Rodeo Drive this rap-metal
number doesn’t only have some
straight-talking lyrics it also has a
killer riff
arguably one of the Bands most Frank
songs when it comes to its
socio-political themes
down Rodeo is still right on the money
when it comes to highlighting
ever-present issues
number eight bullet in the head
comparing the general population to
trapped inmates of Alcatraz prison
yep that’s rage for you
focusing on the brainwashing of the
public bullet in the head doesn’t only
carry heavy references to the media
ruling over our thoughts it also allows
lead guitarist tom morello to really
stamp his own unique technique on the
rap metal genre
boy did he do it in style
number seven know your enemy
although it carries stirring political
messages about the American government
know your enemy is also one of the Bands
most eclectic tracks when it comes to
musicality
starting off with Morelos synthesizer
esque intro for several bars and tim
commerford x’ rather laid-back bass
playing it soon kicks you in the teeth
with a cool breakdown that you’re just
not expecting
de la rocha is the tracks lead vocalist
having tools Maynard James Keenan sing
during the bridge is really what helps
make it oh so memorable
number six sleep now in the fire
this battle of Los Angeles track hits
things off with some very heavy ripping
it’s also got lyrics condemning the US
government and highlights specific
instances of greed throughout history
meanwhile it’s Michael more directed
music video drives the point home by
having the band perform in front of the
New York Stock Exchange
but what really sets the song a light is
Morelos high-pitched solo near the end
he rapidly flicks the toggle switch on
his guitar
number five testify
a fan favorite when it comes to concert
performances testify is well known for
its references to George Orwell’s
dystopian novel 1984
but it’s also got a cool intro riff
that’s properly joined by Diller roaches
narration which makes it perfect for
opening a rage live show
even though Marella’s made a name for
himself with his unusual guitar playing
methods he takes things to a whole new
level with this track
invest your money for the future goodbye
don’t take our word for it just take a
listen to the solo or yourself I
supported there are some money we will
get all of the soft money out of the
campaign god bless you
number four bomb track
the opening number from their eponymous
first record bomb track was so named
because the band believed the song was
just that great and we don’t blame
a perfect example of how Morello and
Comerford can place side by side when
riffing the song’s intro is really what
makes it stick in your head Chuck want
to throw in a Boppy chorus with quotable
lyrics and boom it really is the bomb
Wow
number three guerrilla radio
we can forget the intro to this rap funk
and alternative metal tracks even if the
song hadn’t appeared in several video
games it’s likely that it’s scattered
tremolo tremors and wah-wah extravaganza
would now be permanently ingrained in
our minds
guerrilla radio touches upon several
important socio-political issues with
rages trademark funky Flair and one hell
of a catchy chorus
it also won the band a Grammy for Best
hard rock performance
number two bulls on parade led by a
booming wrist and Murillo’s wah-wah
guitar playing bulls on parade is the
second single from Rage Against the
Machine sophomore effort
rumored to be referencing the
chauvinistic ly violent way in which the
American military deals with its
problems the song reached top 20 status
on the US Rock charts
and multiple top 40 spots around the
world ad Mireles Vinyl Scratch guitar
effect dildo roaches passionate vocals
and an explosive chorus and you’ve got
classic rage
before we reveal our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
Hey
No
who knows
where it goes
careful
searching for some time Joe
number one healing in the name
besides the fact that it helped its
parent album earn massive commercial
success and has garnered controversy for
its lyrics killing in the name is simply
one of the most awesome guitar tracks
ever so ago several forces
drama saved up for Ross
alluding to the existence of Ku Klux
Klan police officers among other things
the alternative rap and groove metal
single has become a massive anthem for
rebellion in pop culture its endurance
was further cemented by its ability to
top the UK charts seventeen years after
its initial release you agree with our
