have to agree w/ most bands here... although I can't really agree w/ System of A Down. yeah, they're guitars are different, but that's really about it. basicly a punk metal band... and even then they sound a lot like most other metal bands, even a lot of nu-metal bands. and basing their originality on the meaning of their lyrics doesn't work as there's been many bands over many years who used their songs to push a political agenda. And let's not forget that's one of the key things behind Rage Against the Machine's whole discogrophy. I can't think of a single song of their's that wasn't political (of course, I could be wrong. they might have acouple that wasn't).
