It has to be said Rage Against The Machine are shit

Saying dumb **** just because its your opinion is still dumb ****...people could say that Zeppelin are one of the most under rated bands in history...is it dumb..yes

I don't see anything wrong with saying Rage Against The Machine is overrated. They are a very popular band and compared to say Downset who have a very similar sound and were around pretty much the same time, they could be called overrated.

Say's the Franz Ferdinand fan. ;)

I`m not a fan I like a handful of songs :p:

And that was enough to have them on your top albums list? O_O

Regardless, i hate that band with a passion, i blame them in part for this whole crappy new wave revival scene of talentless "copy" bands that are taking MTV by storm, making MTV as unlistenable for it's music as it is unwatchable for it's lame reality shows.

They were all on that album.

Even so i`d have them above some crappy rock band that writes ham fisted sociopolitical sloganeering aimed at your average 16 year old metal fan.

Kelly Osbournes second album > Franz Ferdinand

They let her make a 2nd album???????????

I hardly consider RATM's music metal, being loud and agressive dosent make you metal, unless all punk is metal, and King Crimson is metal... I just consider them a hard rock band with elements of metal, funk, piost punk, experimental, etc.

I think they are a great band, they have written some acessible and popular songs, but also some very crazy ones, i don't consider their music dumbed down... Pretentious?... Maybe, not like i really give a sh*t about being pretentious.

I consider them a better band than FF on the grounds that they have more talent (or actual talent to begin with for that matter), both instrumentaly and creatively, and while they may be an aqquired taste for some they can craft some very imaginative sounds and melodies that dont instantly remind me of that riff from Float On.

I freaking hate that song.
