Static-X due to their un-frequent radio play has stayed closer to their original sound they have progressed for the better but keeping to their roots. If you want to talk about fassion, here is something. Wayne wears street cloths when he plays live, Shavo and the rest of SOAD dress up. Now who is there to entertain and who is there to play?

Comparing them to Rage, its not even competition. Rage Against the Machine would win anyday. But with BYOB's radioplay and the recent crackdowns on censoring, it was brave to bring out a song directed towards Bush. I havent heard Black Flag. Heard OF them, never got too interested though. I think I'll give them a listen. And that kinda furthered my point above. With the street clothes, yeah its gonna sound good, but besides some moshing....maybe...it wont be a fun show. With System, even if the band is off that night, you're still gonna go home saying "boy, they really looked nice tonight" lol.
