System of a Down (SOAD) is a metal band from California. They are a hardcore influenced insanity, with a mix of utter originality. Their genre defying music changed the direction that metal was heading towards. System of a Down's music has been classified as nu-metal, alternative metal, or even progressive metal. Many metal heads are not fond of the nu-metal genre. But System of a Down is a definite exception. System of a Down commonly talks about a corrupt corporote America in a lot of their songs. For instance, off of their Toxicity album, the song entitled "Prison Song" talks about how jailing minor drug offenders is corrupting our society. Although System of a Down's lyrics may not be suitable to minors, a few of their songs turned out to be popular works of art among the popular culture.
System of a Down's most famous track B.Y.O.B. (Bring Your Own Bombs) was written to protest the Iraq war. The song was given various awards for the creativity and it placed in several top rated lists around the world.
Among B.Y.O.B., my current list of favorite System of a Down song titles are:
