https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWXazVhlyxQ Killing in the Name, the absolute daddy of all politically-fuelled music. It's exciting just thinking about this one. Would any list of this kind be acceptable without it? This track is one that gets everyone on their feet, bouncing up and down, ready to overthrow the authorities and just f*** s4!t up. F*** everything up. A sincerely awesome, hard-hitting tune that hits the spot. Every. Single. Time. The lead single on Rage Against The Machine's self-titled album has been a massive success and still gets air time over and over again. Rap metal never sounded so good. Written about revolution against institutional racism and police brutality, Killing in the Name is famous for its unique guitar riffs and heavy use of profanities. It even managed to stifle UK talent show The X Factor's dominance of the Christmas number one spot in 2009, following a successful Facebook campaign. On behalf of everyone reading this today, thank you, Rage.
