12. Rage Against The Machine: 'Killing In The Name' – Their name itself sticks two fingers up at the establishment, and despite almost every song they have produced being a protest anthem at the core, 'Killing In The Name' succinctly sums up everything Rage are about. An explosive aural annihilation of the authorities, thanks to the recent UK Christmas number one campaign the expletive strewn 1992 protest anthem is as potent as ever. Lyrically cutting, singer Zach de la Rocha accuses the US security forces of being infiltrated by the Ku Klux Klan (“some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses”) as the track builds to an impossibly angry, euphoric climax.
