#Rage Against the Machine - Renegades

Here's what nominator u/try_compelled had to say:

I remember buying this album when it came out, because Rage... I didn't even realize it was a cover album. What the covered artists seem to have in common with the exception of The Rolling Stones is that they're american and deemed worthy by RATM of raising a "fist in the air in the land of hypocrisy". These include some very different artists, from Cypress hill to Bob Dylan. I felt a little dumb when I realized they were covers. I also felt dumb realizing that maybe I only enjoyed it because it was loud and angry. Then again, RATM got a lot of people talking, and I still enjoy listening to their albums. However, I could never figure out if this album was just RATM posturing.
