So I think humanity needs to go, who cares about that you know what you DO care about? THE PROTOMEN they aren't just a band, they are music FREEDOM! Here let me sum it up for you:

http://protomen.com

Megaman Rock Opera.
Also, dont expect the 'blue bomber' running around fighting robot masters - This band is about the mass slaughtering of mankind (just thinking about it makes me all warm and fuzzy)
It is also an important lesson: There are no heroes left in man. I mean what would you rather be: a ragged meatbag clinging to something meaningless like "Free will", or a superior machine made for destruction? Ill give you a hint: Machine.

And now, for a brief rundown of tracks:

Hope Rides Alone - the introduction to the superior machine Protoman, and the weak-coward meatbags.
The only thing wrong is why would a superior machine try to save you meatbags? And how could protoman let himself die.

Funeral For A Son - Meatbags still (thankfully) opressed. Dr.light realizes he built not a hero, but a son.

Unrest In the House of Light - Dr.Light attempts to tell a superior machine what he can or cannot do.
Also a great nursery rhyme, for you meatbags.

The Will of One - Megaman looks at the burning wreckage of you meatbags and begins to feel 'sympathy'
He finds the grave of his brother and cannot realize that hope rides alone. As he descends from the building he can hear the calls of Dr. Wily's
robots.

We have control
We keep you safe
We our your hope
We have control
We keep you safe
We are your hope!
We have control!
WE KEEP YOU SAFE!
WE OUR YOUR HOPE!
WE OUR IN CONTROL!

Vengeance - Megaman kills lots of robots. Big machine fight, something you meatbags wouldn't understand.
Megaman attempts to get meatbags to fight, meatbags do not fight...Some people step out of the shadows and aren't really dead...

The Stand (Man or Machine?) - Megamans brother Protoman is still alive, Not as the hero he once was, but as a machine-A man who could see that meatbags
would not fight. There are no men among you who will stand up and try to fight.

We've given everything we can!
THERE ARE NO HEROES LEFT IN MAN!
So let them watch as we decide, The very fate of all mankind.

(SPOILERS, PLOT AND/OR ENDING DETAILS BELOW, MEATBAGS)
The Sons of Fate - (Lyrics, ending details from book,interpretations; meatbags)

I will not fight! YOU HAVE NO CHOICE
I'll stand beside you! I STAND ALONE!
You stay their hero! THEN THEY ARE FOOLS!
This cannot be the only way! YOU WILL SEE!
They don't deserve this! THAT THIS IS FATE!
Now more then ever! MANKIND WILL FALL!
We our their hope! THEY WILL NOT STAND!
They know no better! THEY WILL NOT FIGHT
They are not ready! THEY NEVER WILL!
Even now there is hope for man! MY FATHERS WORDS!
You're father loved you! HE STILL BELIEVES!?
His heart was broken! HIS ONLY WEAKNESS!
His greatest strength! NOW WE SHALL SEE!
You are not evil! IF THEY WILL STAND!
You are not broken! BESIDE THEIR HERO!
We both know they'll never fight!
YOU FINALLY GET IT
THERE ARE NO HEROES
MANKIND IS DOOMED

You will never have another hero!
You will never have another chance!
You will fall, because you never tried to stand for yourselves!

The crowd calls out

"DESTROY HIM!"
"YOU DESTROY HIM!"
"YOU DESTROY HIM!"
"KILL PROTOMAN!"

A blast connects with Protoman, fatally wounding him. Megamans brother lies dead in his arms.
The Robot masters and humanity watch on

"If these people, Tell this story to their children, as they sleep"
"Maybe someday, they will hero...Is just a man, who knows he's free"

The crowd calls out
"HE COULD NOT SAVE HIMSELF!"
"HOW COULD HE SAVE US?..."
"FOR ALL THE GOOD HE SHARED..."
"YOUR BROTHER SAVED US..."
"THERES NOTHING YOU COULD DO..."
"YOU HAD NO CHOICE..."
"WHY DO YOU CRY FOR HIM..."
"HE WAS NO HERO..."
"YOU ARE THE HERO..."

Megaman removes his helmet and holds it at his side
"You are the dead"
He walks away, leaving the city and people behind.
Protoman dies in his brothers arms. Megaman leaves a flag and his brothers body, to stand as a symbol of victory, and defeat.
Dr.Wily gives the order, and the robot masters continue to slaughter you meatbags.
As megaman leaves the city, only once did he look back as the screams of man continued (Joyfully!)

"WE ARE THE DEAD..."
"WE ARE THE DEAD..."


"WE ARE THE DEAD..."

"WE...ARE...THE...DEAD"

A single drop of liquid runs down Megamans face
A tear, or just another wound on his scarred body?


So, do not lament about the inevitable expansion of your sun that will swallow this ball of filth
You will be long dead by then and it will be mostly machines capable of higher thought and intelligence and spreading and destroying all of you inferior meatbag-lifeforms

It really is amazing, It's one of the better video-game bands. Hell it's one of the better rock bands period.
