This Bank Holiday Weekend here on Radio Nova, we have been counting down to the best music from those music icons who are sadly no longer with us.


You, the listeners have been voting as part of 'The Great Rock & Roll Resurrection on Radio Nova', and the top 10 list reads as follows.

10: Best of You by the Foo Fighters

Starting us off is a classic from Foo Fighters, 'The Best Of You', which came from their 2005 album, 'In Your Honour'. The track went on to peak at No 4 in the UK, and also earned Foo Fighters a Grammy Nomination for Best Rock Song.

 

9: Crazy World by Aslan

Next up on the list is, Aslan's Crazy World, which came from their 1994 album, 'Goodbye Charlie Moonhead'.

Despite going on to be a renowned Aslan hit, the band once famously admitted that it was not their favourite hit. More on this here.

The track is a huge favourite among Aslan fans and Nova listeners alike. Remind yourself why below.
