Rap-rock may have died out since its heyday in the '90s, but one of the bands that successfully combined the counter-culture and revolutionary roots of rap and rock sounds was Rage Against The Machine. The band's deep lyrics written by Zach de la Rocha and signature sound led by the unique guitar stylings of Tom Morello touched on many of the social and political issues still relevant today.
