This list always has a strong claim to being a solid list, if for the sole fact that it attracts more voters than any other annual arbitrary list worldwide (or so they claim). This year they attracted over 150,000 voters, a record, and over a million votes (each voter picked their best 10 songs of the year).
Last year the winner was everybody's favourite bluegrass crooners, Mumford & Sons, with Little Lion Man. Sex on Fire has also been a past winner and I shouldn't need further proof that quantity does not equal quality.
The lists are always stacked with a lot of Australian music. And we do make good music, that is not up for debate. But we also make a lot of bad or just plain ordinary music that becomes insanely popular because a lot of the voters listen exclusively to this station day in day out.
Here is this the top ten:
1. Angus & Julia Stone - Big Jet Plane
2. Little Red - Rock It
3. Ou Est Le Swimming Pool - Dance the Way I Feel
4. Birds of Tokyo - Plans
5. Boy & Bear - Fall at Your Feet
6. Adrian Lux - Teenage Crime
7. Cee-Lo - Fuck You
8. The Wombats - Tokyo
9. Art vs Science - Magic Mountain
10. Mark Ronson & The Business Intl ft Boy George and Andrew Wyatt - Somebody to Love
and the rest:
there are a bunch of good songs spattered amongst the top 100; but in between is a lot of putrid Aussie hip hop ("skip hop") and as i said, ordinary songs.
and here, in all its underwhelming glory, is the winner, for those who haven't heard it:
YouTube - Angus and Julia Stone - Big Jet Plane [Official Music Video]
i'm going to go and listen to my song of the year, Home, by LCD Soundsystem.
discuss, belittle, appreciate, laugh, argue, , etc as you please.
and so good night

there are a bunch of good songs spattered amongst the top 100; but in between is a lot of putrid Aussie hip hop ("skip hop") and as i said, ordinary songs.
and here, in all its underwhelming glory, is the winner, for those who haven't heard it:
YouTube - Angus and Julia Stone - Big Jet Plane [Official Music Video]
i'm going to go and listen to my song of the year, Home, by LCD Soundsystem.
