In a career stocked with disruptive moments, perhaps Rage Against the Machine’s most memorable was when the anarchic video shoot for 1999 single Sleep Now in the Fire managed to shutter the New York Stock Exchange itself.

The video for the intense, riff-driven track was helmed by Michael Moore, a few years prior to his era-defining Bowling for Columbine.
