“People Of The Sun” and “Vietnow” are the songs that I consistently come back to, but “Bulls On Parade” will always be RATM’s greatest opus, IMO. Long live RATM.
Surprised no one has mentioned their transition into Audioslave. At least they changed their name because Zak De La Rocha and Chris Cornell, vocally and stylistically were worlds apart. Have not listened to RATM since their first album only because that was angry music I could relate to back then but no longer can anymore. Just like Pantera, Henry Rollins, Black Label Society, Tool, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden….all still talented, just can’t take the anger anymore, besides life for the most part is good.
Would still like to hear what people thought of Audioslave, Mays an another day. :)
They're a great band, although I always wondered if it chapped their asses a bit that their music was so good, a lot of the audience seemed to ignore the political messaging. I guess that's a good problem to have.

Thanks for the comment Gina! More Audioslave discussion is a great idea.
Always on hand. Perfect record. Nothing old or hackneyed on it.
You can say that again RE: hackneyed. Wasn’t in the band’s vocabulary.
RATM are true American patriotic heroes.

Killing in the name is my all time favorite. Turn it up as loud as it will go every time.
