Formed in the early '90s California Punk Scene, Rage Against the Machine would become one of the most successful and politically charged Metal and Hard Rock acts of all time. Inspired equally by Hip Hop like Public Enemy and the extreme guitars of Black Sabbath, the band fronted by Zach De La Rocha and fed by guitarist Tom Morello's riffs would create anthems for the angst of the decade like "Killing in the Name" and "Testify." Their live shows at festivals like Lollapalooza and Woodstock '99 would cement their iconic statues as well as back to back no.1 albums. The band would go on to inspire their compatriots for the decade like Tool and Soundgarden and even go on to revitalize the politics of iconic artists like Bruce Springsteen. The are also cited by a number of modern acts like Alabama Shakes and alternative hip hop like Run the Jewels.
