Triple J Hottest 100

I hope The Streets to well cos they got nearly as many nominations as Silverchair (who I'm slightly scared to say seem to have become *cough* quite a good band since I last looked) and definitely tons of JJJ airplay.

Get voting, kids. Make Aussie radio a safe place to be!

Ooh, you're going to hell for voting for this one!

Yes, yes I am. What can I say, I saw the video and it made me giggle like a 10 year-old.

Hey Mil, can you please tell me something about Downsyde, Hilltop Hoods, Rollerball & Sleepy Jackson? All bands I've heard of but not heard - worth seeking out? Fed up with not finding any Aussie music that serves as anything more than a cheap substitute for the real thing, whatever that is...

Downsyde and Hilltop Hoods are Australian hip-hop... they're not fantastic just yet but I think they've both got their own sound, and they don't have the annoying tendencies of some other acts (ie no heavy ocker accents, lame rapping about fish 'n chips or sinking beers, or the cliched 'support Oz hip-hop' every five fuckin' seconds). If any Australian hip hop breaks overseas, I think these two and Terminal Illness will be the ones.

Rollerball are stoner rock from Brisbane, but if that song on the list is the one I'm thinking about, it's much mellower and the singer has a really cool falsetto thing going. I love it.

I completely agree with your AiH jibe. The single is awesome, but I saw them live at the Espy on Friday - utter crap. Totally shite. Evidently, they have but one song, and a swag of Belle and Sebastian covers...

And is it just me or is the lead-singer-songer writer guy like some kind of Brian Wilson impersonator? I imagine the full orchestra will soon be a part of the regular lineup - maybe

What's your band in Melb?

I'm in Tugboat. We're obscure mainly because we're the worst self-promoters in the world.

Let us know for a ILM Melbourne Meet Up!

What label are you on? Chapter or Trifekta, something like that?

Didn't vote for Has It Come To This because I hate it. Did vote for all the other ones, obviously.

2009 edition

no way get fucked fuck off

rain down, friendly napalm

Urgh what an awful awful list. Obv none of my pics made it :-( but I didn't expect them to. Was kinda nice to see "One More Time" haunting the lower reaches of the charts (I voted "Digital Love").

Even the "celebrity" top tens are mostly awful.

LOL "killing in the name of" at #2

worst song of all time

This is what living in Australia is like Vahid.

The thing I find particularly objectionable about "Killing In The Name Of" is the way in which it's embraced by everyone from jocks to black trenchcoat types to lefties who want a suitable anti-establishment anthem to rock out to at protests. It gets a free pass everywhere. Hence its popularity on a poll for Triple J, which is like at the centre of that particular venn diagram.

it is very cathartic if you do it at karaoke, i gotta say.

i'm glad that berlin chair was the YAI song chosen

The music director of the station's own list.

props for including a BHS song but that's the nicest thing i can say about that list

Triple J: white, btw

The nicest thing I can say is that its pretty damn representative of JJJ/Australia. And it was nice to see Kingsmill with his best lovable mediocrity/schmuck face on.

I'm always baffled when people get offended that I don't want to go to their JJJ top 100 barbecues.

do you think we can petition rudd to re-open woomera, so we have a place to send the youth of the nation

lool

What is making me lol is how *angry* some of my friends are at the results.

Do they even *listen* to JJJ? The result was no suprise whatsoever, except perhaps the demographic/90s-heavy skewing shows oldies like me must have come out of the woodwork in droves to vote.

It just bemuses me some people still cling defensively to JJJ as some arbiter of "alternative" music when it was never any fucking thing of the sort.

I was actually suprised at Buckley's "Hallelujah" at #3 though.

Also drank too much and yelled @ radio ;_;

be honest, you were doing a buckley impression weren't cha

with less drowning

The predictable sadness of this list is just the child of the third one, the first to follow nationalisation (though at least no Pretty Fly Like A White Guy in the top ten, like when they tried again in 1998). I remember, even within the white btw boundaries of the listenership, being opened up to new pathways listening to the first two (all sweeping out the carport, orange foam headphones on my belt-clip walkman) – hearing The The’s Uncertain Smile for the first time, Momus’ The History of Sexual Jealousy Parts 17-24 for the first time, Outline’s The Cicada That Ate Five Dock for the first time... are any teenagers listening to the countdown this time going to be shown anything from their lifetime that isn’t already a major part of the culture around them?

Yeah the one glaringly obvious omission is the early 80s Aussie post-punk type stuff that used to always get a good look in in days of yore, like Birthday Party and Dropbears and old Hunters stuff and whatnot.

Was also suprised Uncertain Smile made no showing at all when it's always placed well in every other alltime chart. Weird.

But that said, I'm sick of some of my friends being snobby bints and going "this isnt the JJJ I know, this is bogans taking it over once a year" ranting which is just elitist billcrap, IMNSFHO.

billcrap? lol.

it's always placed well in every other alltime chart. Weird.

?? Didn't make the hundred last time, dunno if they listed it as an outlier.
