System of a Down — B.Y.O.B.

System of a Down (formed 1994, Glendale, CA: Serj Tankian, Daron Malakian, Shavo Odadjian, John Dolmayan) led off their album Mezmerize (17 May 2005, American Recordings/Columbia) with "B.Y.O.B. (Bring Your Own Bombs)" (4:15), an explicit anti-Iraq War protest song whose title plays on the phrase "BYOB." It reached No. 27 on the Billboard Hot 100 — the band's only Top 40 hit — and No. 4 on both the Modern Rock and Mainstream Rock charts, and won the Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance in 2006. Produced by Rick Rubin and Daron Malakian, Mezmerize debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 450,000 first-week sales and sold over 4 million copies; a companion album, Hypnotize, followed in November 2005.
