“Bulls on Parade” by Rage Against the Machine
Rage Against the Machine’s “Bulls on Parade” is the second song off the band’s critically acclaimed second album “Evil Empire,” and is arguably the band’s best song of all time. Lead singer Zach De l Rocha’s combination of rap and metal singing gives the song an incredibly intense feel. Rage will reunite for the first time since 2006 at Coachella this year!
