Data Insight
Not one of the twelve tracks carries a member of the band. Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones, the MC5, the Stooges, Cypress Hill, Eric B. and Rakim, Devo and Minor Threat wrote them instead. Three albums with no outside writer at all, then one with nothing else.
Renegades came out on Epic in December 2000, after Zack de la Rocha had left, and is certified platinum. Every track is a cover version.
