"Killing In The Name Of" - Rage Against The Machine
I won't be reviewing any new Free Singles until the holidays end, I need a break like everyone else. Someone else deserves a break; Zac de la Rocha. If RATM weren't already awesome enough, this time they've slain Simon Cowell. So adding to their "kill list", which I guess includes the US government, capitalism and the KKK, is the X Factor. Thankyou, Tom Morello - your revolutionary's anthem has saved British music for us all. Only in Britain could a screaming, bawling, flaming metal song that ends in a scorching crescendo of earthquake guitars and the immortal line "fuck you I won't do what you tell me", reach number one to defy the pop puppetmaster. It didn't have to be a "good Christmas song" (do those exist? Are you one of those people who actually likes "Mistletoe and Wine"?!), but it was the perfect song for the occaison. But enough waffling, here's my Christmas present; a damn good Christmas Number One.
