The clear stand-out from two back to back festivals

Song: "Killing In The Name"

Artist: Rage Against The Machine

Story: Still one of the most iconic festivals moments in my lifetime, and I don't foresee it being topped any time soon. At only 19, and really experiencing music, concerts and festivals for the first time, this was simply put, an unbelievable experience. After attending (the once small and budding) Rainbow Serpent festival in Victoria for 3 days, which in itself was an eye-opening experience, my friends and I decided to drive back to Melbourne for Big Day Out (RIP!!). On the 3 hours drive from one festival to the other, we listened to the self-titled Rage Against The Machine LP. And although I'm sure I had heard it blasted many times before from my older brothers bedroom, this time listening to it, it really caught my attention. Fast forward a couple hours, and there I am in the Rage Against The Machine mosh pit, singing/screaming along to all their famous tracks, and all I can say is I've never looked back. Between 2 festivals, and 4 days of partying, this set was all I could think about for weeks. Becoming absolutely hooked for life. Even though I was actually a toddler when the album was released, it is easily in my top 5 albums of all time, and nothing gets me more excited than hearing it at full volume!
