It's time for round one of CBC Hamilton's best Hamilton song of all time poll, and we're starting off with two heavyweights – Teenage Head and The Junior Boys.
With Hamilton as host city for the 2015 Juno Awards, we're looking for the best song by a Hamilton artist, and we're doing it with a no holds barred, single elimination, bracket-style online tournament.
Here are our first two contestants in the first round, and we want you to vote for your favourite. Voting for this matchup closes at midnight Thursday.
Teenage Head: Let's Shake
It's impossible to talk about Hamilton music and not mention Teenage Head. The band was a vital part of the country's burgeoning punk scene in the late 70s, and their signature sound helped shape music coming out of Hamilton for years to come.
It's tough to pick a single Teenage Head track to feature, but Let's Shake remains the band's most well known hit. It was even used by The Toronto Maple Leafs as their goal scoring song at the Air Canada Centre this season – sadly, fans haven't heard it too much recently.
Junior Boys: So This is Goodbye
Listening to the gleaming synths of a Junior Boys record reveals musicians who are experts in layering sounds and textures that percolate over time and with repeated listens.
The duo is world renowned for their work, but So This is Goodbye was chosen by more than one of our judges as one of the best songs to ever come out of Hamilton.
Now it's up to you to choose – which is the better Hamilton song? Is it Teenage Head's proto-punk, or the electronic mastery of The Junior Boys? Vote in our poll:
