Renegades (ablum, featured music)
Rage Against The Machine - Renegades
RATM has such infectious energy in their music. I've been hooked on their music since high school. This album consists of covers of a diverse group of songs, from the Rolling Stones and Devo to EPMD and Cypress Hill.
As Rolling Stone's Tom Moon puts it:
The very act of overcoming such diverse works as Springsteen's "The Ghost of Tom Joad" and the Rolling Stones' "Street Fighting Man," Afrika Bambaataa's "Renegades of Funk and Bob Dylan's "Maggie's Farm" requires a certain audacity, but Rage takes things further executing each with the roaring, fearless spirit thatıs been missing in action since these songs were new.
