There is only one band to ever successfully execute a concoction of rap and hard rock in a brilliant manner, and that band is Rage Against The Machine.  At the #71 spot on the Gears of Rock’s Top 100 Bands of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal, Rage has produced a very successful catalog consisting of great rock songs.  With only 47 or so studio recorded tracks, almost all are legitimate hits.  Their best songs are “Bombtrack,” “Testify,” “Wake Up,” “Sleep Now in the Fire,” “Killing in the Name,” “Bulls on Parade,” “Vietnow,” “Guerilla Radio,” and “No Shelter.”
