A song that reminds you of a certain event.
This event has gone down in history in the UK, and nicely rounds off my choice of 'Least favourite song'. As I said then, a Facebook campaign brought down X Factor's hold on the UK Single Christmas Number One Spot and placed 'Killing in the Name' by Rage Against the Machine at the top of the charts.
Well, during the campaign, the band gave the group an extra incentive by promising a free concert in London should they get to Number One. They held true to their word and on 6th June 2010, at Finsbury Park, 40,000 people turned up having won free tickets and saw Rage Against the Machine with special guests Gogol Bordello, Roots Manuva and Gallows play for free.
The video is the intro and opening song of that special day, a true celebration. And Rage were on absolute FIRE. One of the best gigs I've ever been to.
