If Aussie dad-rockers The Reubens win the JJJ Hottest 100, I will literally talk abou

[Vlad n U 2]

I did have a feeling Paranoid Android would be #1, because JJJ listeners cream their pants over it constantly.

EEEEHHHheeHhHhEeeHHHhHh

 

[U2inUtah]

Its weird to hear 'Little Lion Man' without the Fuck bleeped out. Fuck is not allowed over here

All in all, this is pretty damn good list though (minus Mumford & Sons). No way people in US would be able to vote a top 100 this good.

 

[IWasBored]

Prisoner of Society! .

Hey, I used to like that song quite a bit.

 

[Axver]

I hope Paranoid Android coming in at #13 means that there will be no Radiohead in the top ten.

 

[IWasBored]

Ew Prisoner of Society. One guy performed it in my high school music class in year 9 and yuck.

Well, just in your honor then, I shall listen to it now.

"in Australia we have a lot to thank a good many people for... Not least of all Triple J"

On the blurb for Little Lion Man on JJJ website.

JJJ at their self-congratulatory best. If Kingsmill could suck his own dick, he would.

I find it hard to believe the success of Mumford and Sons is attributable to JJJ

 

[Axver]

Heart's a Mess at #12 for Gotye. Now there's a j-core result for you. I wonder if Somebody That I Used to Know will show up?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I liked that Gotye song.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I like this QOTSA song too.

 

[Kieran McConville]

It's interesting to see who's fallen out of memory with the passing years. Unless I missed something, no:

Bjork
REM
Portishead
Tricky (am I crazy or was 1995's Maxinquaye massive?)
and interestingly, PJ Harvey

(I rattle off those names not because I especially love them all but they seem examples of artists you might expect to crop up in a list like this)

Gratifyingly, no Travis. I guess Coldplay buried them as the go-to whitebread sensitive band.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

YES VERVE.

Obviously not their best, but so refreshing after the likes of Powderfinger being in the top 10 twice.

 

[intedomine]

Would have liked to have seen Travis' Sing get a position. They've been forgotten unfortunately

Quite impressed a Verve song polled well. But where is Verve Pipe's Freshman!?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Blackwood, Adelaide represent.

 

[intedomine]

Bloody Jeff Buckley. At least that pointless Hallelujah cover didn't rank as highly as I thought.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

This is one of those songs that I was fond of yet never knew the name of the song or who the artist was.

 

[intedomine]

Predictable top two

 

[Axver]

But where is Verve Pipe's Freshman!?

In the rubbish bin, hopefully.

Charlotte and I were just out for a walk and we talked a bit about what we thought would be in the top ten. Didn't expect Seven Nation Army at all, since White Stripes have already been in the list. I thought Tame Impala would be in there (hope to god they don't take out number one). Pleased that the Verve made it in so high, even if it's not even close to being their best song.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Rofl

 

[Axver]

Oh thank god, a song I can stand.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Hurr WUNDAHWALL.

 

[Kieran McConville]

I was going to say everyone forgot about Oasis. I was wrong.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

In an ideal world If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next would be in this top 100.

 

[Axver]

In an ideal world If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next would be in this top 100.

Now that you mention it, how the fuck was it not.

 

[intedomine]

Oasis <3

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Now that you mention it, how the fuck was it not.

J-wankers too busy remembering the likes of Little Lion Man and everything that was in the list by Powderfinger.

 

[Kieran McConville]

Surprised Skunk Anansie (or however you spell it) didn't make the top ten. lol.

 

[The Sad Punk]

In an ideal world If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next would be in this top 100.

I'm fucking surprised it wasn't. That's the kinda song everyone likes at least a little bit.

also, thanks for the Underworld stuff before, will check that stuff out!

 

[Cin]

In an ideal world If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next would be in this top 100.

I pop in for a few seconds before dinner and see this


and I think I may want to marry yooou Vlad




Manic Street Preachers

 

[Vlad n U 2]

They're fab.

 

[cobl04]

I guessed Wonderwall would be number one. Wouldn't be in my top 100 of the decade, but it's a great song, universally loved, I can live with that being number one.

ABSOLUTE FUCKING DISGRACE that Nosebleed Section was #4. Aussie hip-hop the fourth best song of the past 20 years? Get the fuck out of here.

Pretty solid list overall, I'd say. A LOT of great songs in there.

It's interesting to see who's fallen out of memory with the passing years. Unless I missed something, no:

Bjork

No REM is pretty surprising, given their stature as a loved alternative band. But maybe they were a victim of vote-splitting? Can't see Everybody Hurts making too many lists so votes were probably split over a bunch of other tunes.
