Yuss! It’s that time again when we ram-raid our way through the portcullis of democracy and invite you lovely people to pick your favourite Crash tunes from the past year.
These are the songs that have rocked Crash since the sell-out opening night back in October – the most requested, most ridiculous, best-received and generally most rocking tunes from the past 9 months. Whether you’ve jigged to Flogging Molly, hollered along to Dropkick Murphys, joined The Hives and Gogol Bordello’s 200-strong conga-line, felt the love to R.E.M. or encouraged the flat-out insanity of Dresden Dolls, we want you to select your FIVE favourites from the shortlist below and post them as a comment on the wall of this Facebook group.
Whether you're a hardcore Crash-goer or a mere windowshopper, we want (nay, demand!) your input - get all of your friends to vote by inviting them to join the group, and then come along for the grand finale on Friday June 13th when we’ll be counting down the Top 40 in all its glory (and most probably chucking in a Hokey Cokey for good measure).
If you’re not familiar with any of the choices, you can also listen to each of the tracks on our Facebook page!
