System of a Down

"Banana Banana Banana Banana Terracotta Banana Terracotta Terracotta Pie!"

With lyrics like those, how can you not like SOAD? Jokes aside, what does everyone think about this band? It's got a fairly bad rap, but alot of their songs have good points and motives. (If you can find them.) While the whole "Hey I'm famous, I should do something good" routine is over done, SOAD has done some pretty cool things... And their lyrics are a pretty... ermm.... Fresh?

(This is a AMV for the song mentioned above. Don't care for the video... but yea.)
 
I steer away from the politically-driven songs, but I do like these guys. Some songs are very humorous, some are very adrenaline-extreme...some both. Their style is constantly shifting which makes them a unique band in the metal spectrum.

Also, YTMND has a field day on some of their lyrics. The one you quoted, for example:

Derek Jeter caught a pie!

:D2
