Rage Against the Machine is one of those hard to categorize bands, that make you love LA. It is amazing to me that the most consumer centric, self-absorbed city in the world spawned this anti-corporate, anti-government, left wing, thrash band. Their energy was amazing, as was their conviction in a dirty business. I personally think their first, self-titled record was their best, but their third record, Battle of Los Angeles, sold more. My favorite story about this band involves my Miller beer client. They wanted to hire them to be part of their secret concert promotion. When they asked the band they got a letter back that simply said, "f-you, you are the machine."
