"Machinehead" is a hit single from rock band Bush, released in 1996 as the final single from their debut album Sixteen Stone.

The music video was directed by Shawn Mortensen on 21 November 1995 in London and Portsmouth. If you watch closely you can see sections of Shepherd's Bush, where the band members used to live. Gavin Rossdale's dog Winston is also in the video.

The song reached the Top 5 of the Modern Rock Tracks as well as the Mainstream Rock Tracks, lifting the band to stardom in the 1990s. The song reached #43 on the Billboard Hot 100 on 4 May 1996 and #24 on the Hot 100 Airplay on 18 May 1996. The song was nominated for Best Video from a Film at the 1996 MTV Music Video Awards but lost; however, it did win the MTV Movie Award for Best Song from a Movie at the 1996 MTV Movie Awards.
