2433 Rage Against the Machine - The Ghost of Tom Joad

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/4193xerRFuL._SL500_AA280_.jpg
From: Renegades; Year: 2000; Genre: Alternative Metal/Funk Metal
Yesterday I heard this track for the first time and have been listening to the entire album quite a bit since.
This is, of course, a cover of the song originally wrote and recorded by Bruce Springsteen about one of the main characters in the Steinbeck epic The Grapes of Wrath.
I absolutely love the how they turned a heartfelt folk track into a hardcore protest metal anthem only in the way RATM could.

Hear The Ghost of Tom Joad on YouTube.
