Rusty Cage or Killing In The Name Of - choose wisely.

Rage is my all time favourite band, to the point I have a RATM tattoo on my ribs.
But fuck KITN. So, so, so sick of that song.
Chris ftw here.

I feel like these random, 2 enter 1 must leave, battle threads need at least like a single sentence in the OP of justification. Is it because they are both rock songs? Both released in 92 (though many months apart)? Both have a thumbnail of the lead signer mean mugging the camera? Give me something! Anything!
Confused as to why we are doing this comparison, but gotta go with Rusty Cage
Soundgarden > RAtM
Especially when we are talking Badmotorfinger

"Killing in the Name Of" was the first mp3 I ever downloaded, in the pre-p2p era. Nothing can compete with that.
Killing in the Name is such a powerful song. Amazing song writing and vocal work. Rusty Cage is a pretty boring song by Soundgarden standards. Cornell is terrific as always, but it's pretty plain.
Hate to sound like a hipster but Killing In The Name Of isn't even that good of a Rage song (not that it's bad or anything, they just have better songs). I get the effect of repeating the lyrics but Zac has better lyrics. I'm a huge Cornell fan so I'd probably take most Soundgarden songs over Rage songs, as I would in this case. Those vocals are too good and the riff is too groovy. I do love the main riffs in KITN, fun to play on guitar.
Only one of those songs has lyrics about burning diesel burning dinosaur bones so that's what I'm going with
Finally a "harder" rock thread here I can enjoy. KITNO because I hadn't really heard someone get increasingly pissed off over the course of a song. Chris still one of the greatest voices ever though
Rusty Cage by a lot. I love RATM but fuck is that song overplayed. I wouldn't even consider it one of the good songs off that album.
Rage gave rock music a template for remaining relevant and we squandered it on Foo Fighters and Nickelback.
Never got hugely into Soundgarden specifically because Cornell's vocal style was 80s metal banshee inspired.
That said, RATM's first album isn't where it's at. That would be The Battle of Los Angeles, which just. Keeps. Coming at you.

Killing in the Name is actually my least liked RATM song while Rusty Cage is my favorite Soundgarden song, so...
Killing In the Name
This was an easy decision to make. Rusty Cage is honestly one of the weaker Soundgarden songs and especially singles.
KITN is great social commentary if nothing else. But it also rocks quite hard.
btw Fresh Tendrils is like top-tier Soundgarden, I don't understand how it was never a single.

It's so wrong to lump in Foo Fighters with Nickelback. The band's first two albums were awesome, and yes they did kind of water things down as they progressed (or... regressed) but still, even their worst songs are better than anything Nickelback did.
