Propaganda: What other band could make metalheads love songs based on poetry ("The Trooper" inspired by Tennyson's "The Charge of the Light Brigade," "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" (based on the Coleridge poem of the same name), history ("Alexander the Great"), cult TV series ("The Prisoner" based on the show of the same name), mythology (twisted a bit with "Flight of Icarus"), and classic literature ("Phantom of the Opera" based on the Gaston Leroux novel, "Murders in the Rue Morgue" based on the Poe story, "To Tame a Land" originally meant to be titled after its inspiration: Frank Herbert's "Dune")? These guys are proud geeks and one of the most epic bands on the planet, STILL going strong all these years later.

Hip Hip History: Run-D.M.C.

The group was founded by Joseph “Run” Simmons, Darryl “D.M.C.” McDaniels, and Jason “Jam Master Jay” Mizell. They are regarded as one of the most influential groups in the history of hip hop culture.

They were the first hip-hop group to achieve a Gold record with their Run-D.M.C. album in 1984. It was followed by King of Rock (1985), the 1st Multi-Platinum hip hop record.

My Adidas was released in 1986. The song was created by Run-D.M.C. as a love letter to adidas. The track was a part of the group’s (1986) Raising Hell LP. My Adidas led to a partnership with adidas that resulted in footwear and apparel.

In the mid-1980s, Run-DMC were featured in the hip-hop film, Krush Groove, a fictionalized re-telling of Russell Simmons’ rise as a hip-hop entrepreneur and his struggles to get his own label, Def Jam Recordings, off the ground.

Run-D.M.C.’s following albums were: Tougher Than Leather (1988), Back from Hell (1990), Down with the King (1993), and Crown Royal (2001).
