Also, all of RATMs albums have gone platinum, some multiple times. Let's see Joe beat that.

In other news, I found this on the Wikipedia page for the RATM discography, which is pretty incredible:

Wiki said:
Shortly after the September 11 attacks, the media company Clear Channel Communications published a memorandum with a list of songs which it thought were "lyrically questionable". It suggested that certain songs are "inappropriate" for radio airplay, including all songs by Rage Against the Machine.

Source, with links to Clear Channel.

let's see if we're talking about "the climb" in 17 years time. i doubt that very much.

No-one was talking about RATM until some guy dug it up in his loft a few weeks ago.

DampCat · 21 Dec 2009 at 15:30

And every time they're used for a soundtrack, or covered.

Actually yes a lot of people did the thing is it's not "pop culture" as you see it therefore you didn't notice them.

while they're not in the 'pop'ular music eye (until yesterday that is) a great many people listen to them regularly and they're quite a well recognised band. obviously. take your head out the sand and have a bit of diversity.
