Weekly Poll: Best Singalong Songs

This week's poll was suggested by MusicHy.pe member AntheaW - What are the Best Singalong Songs? Some classics, some cheesy ones, and some drunken favouries, all suggested by MusicHy.pe members. As Anthea said "Just because people sing along, doesn't mean they should!"

Bob MarleyThis week's poll is slightly different from last weeks - because there are over ten entries, each time you vote you'll only see five random entries. The next time you come back you'll see your last ranked number one, plus four new random entries. Remember there's a three hour cooldown between votes.

Some of the entries this week include Rage Against The Machine, The Exponents, My Chemical Romance, Biggie Smalls, The Pixies, Radiohead, Queen, Weezer and more... - you'll have to vote more than once to see 'em all. Vote here.
