BUSH: Machinehead #10 at Major League Sporting Events
According to Chris Chase (Yahoo! Sports Blog) the Bush track Machinehead placed in the Top 10 most played songs at Major League sporting events in 2010.
It’s cool hearing Bush at sporting events. I’ve been to a few sporting events in Detroit, Red Wings Hockey, Tiger Baseball and Pistons Basketball games and I’ve heard Machinehead being played. I’m glad it’s so popular and Machinehead is being played else where.
Hopefully something from the new Bush album “Everything Always Now”, due out this year, will get the chance to be played at a sporting event near you.
A song written before most professional athletes were born was played more than any other at sporting events last year. According to music licenser BMI, Queen’s “We Will Rock You” topped the list of sports anthems during the 2009-2010 season. The track, written in 1976, beat out newer songs by Lil’ Wayne and Nickelback for the top spot.
“Machinehead” is a good tune, but it’s hard to believe it’s played more than Metallica’s “Enter Sandman,” which seems to introduce dozens of college football teams and baseball relievers every year. Similarly, no “Welcome to the Jungle,” “Don’t Stop Believin’,” “Let’s Get It Started” or that “I like to move it, move it” song?
