If the burning monk on the cover of Rage Against the Machine's debut wasn't a clear enough indication of their revolutionary ideals, the music's incendiary rap/rock aesthetic and coup-d'etat content screamed to be heard. At the thumping heart of it all: Tom Morello treating his guitar like a turntable, 2/4 of Audioslave as a rhythm section that could hammer yard-long nails into a concrete wall, and Zach de la Rocha rhyming like one pissed-off protest orator.

Take notice
That Killing in the Name is on here twice and its the same version. Don't buy it all at once just don't rip yourself off.
5 Stars for the Band; 3 for this short list
No other band was as influential in my life growing up as Rage Against the Machine was, but itunes has ignored this band and gave it a weak "essentials" list. There are bigger lists for bands with only 2 albums out and an infinite amount of "essentials" lists for garbage bands. Rage deserves more respect and to fill it up with 2 "Killing in the Name" tracks is shameful. If you are truly a RATM fan then you most likely have the CD's (or tapes) with all the greatness, but for younger fans who only heard through Guitar Hero and what itunes tells them to look for, do yourself a favor and invest some time into all the albums.
Real music
This is real revolutionary music. Mix a little Che Guevara with Malcolm X with some rock and funk and you get Rage Against the Machine. Gotta love it.
