I feel global political oppression or global wars usually produce great music but Macklemore might be the peak.

Nothing against him, some of his songs are good, but I expected real rage inducing stuff with everything going on. Or is this just the state of music as a whole?

Tell me which one of these bands had the most influence. Also what does race have to do with it?

Records sold doesn't = valuable music, culturally. Blink 182 was huge they didn't make a lasting impact on music.

It's ok if you like limp Bizkit but stop pretending like they made meaningful music. Next you'll be comparing them to the Beatles.
