I'm pretty sure most of you will say their first is their best. That's what I would say if I didn't discovered the power and energy from Evil Empire. I mean listen to Snakecharmer, which is definitely one of my fav. RATM songs. Also songs like Vietnow, Revolver, Tire Me and Wind Below are always fixin' my day.

Now it's your turn.

    Now that Rage has concert dates and are supposedly back together, I would hope that they are working on a new album. That one my friends better be next favorite.

    It is any easy choice for me, I'd have to go with Selt Titled. I really hope to see them live in the future.

    Actually, RATM is the only band I can think of where I like all their albums equally. I can definitely say they're a band who broke up while still in their absolute prime. That's very rare imo.

    It is really hard to Rank RATM albums but I would go
    1. Battle of LA
    2. Self Titled
    3. Evil Empire
    4. Renegades

    I listen to all 4 pretty equally and these rankings change daily...

    Agreed, but for me I would switch 1 with 2. Honestly I'm pretty surprised to see how many of you like Renegades. I absolutley hated it. Well not hated it, but I thought it was pretty bad. Ghost of Thom Joades, I'm Housin',
    Kick Out the Jams are the only songs I really like off of it.

    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    All 3 of Rage's original material albums are fucking classics. But as of now, I'd say I like Evil Empire best.

    Evil Empire. Their most experimental album with the best lyrics.
  • TrailerTrailer Posts: 1,431
    I remember hearing Killing in the Name (edited ;)) on the radio and running to the store to buy that album. It was groundbreaking and everysong was amazing! Evil Empire is also a favorite of mine, but nothing beats the shock and awe that came with discovering the self-titled Rage record.
    Whoa, chill bro... you know you can't raise your voice like that when the lion's here.

    All 3 RATM albums are good, but Battle of L.A. has to be my personal favorate. They really hit their peak on that one. That album is flawless from begining to end, and it's perfect to exercise to! I don't count Renegades as a proper RATM album since it's all covers. Those guys need to get in the studio and make another album. The times are calling for it and the fans demand it. There needs to be at least one RATM album made during the Bush regime.

    Renegades is a kick ass CD..but as far as stuff that they wrote....I'd have to go with the 1st one.

    self titled, Rage is one of those bands that I like all 3 albums about the same. Maybe it's because their are so few albums/songs and it was all done within a certain time frame.

    Without doubts IMHO self titled is their perfect record, others are still fantastic (even Renegades!!!)!
