Not even in the top 200 apparently.

 

[jonesy86]

I switched on at #19

khe san not in top 100 either and no bon jovi in top 50

Kyrptonite - 3 doors down
learn to fly - FF
when i come around - green day
better- jets
better man- pj

are some of the songs i've heard in top #20

 

[krusden]

Not even in the top 200 apparently.

I would have expected that it was flogged throughout the 90s at least after the wayne's world re-release.

 

[crownie]

Pink will be up there in a few years.

her songs were getting played about 7 times a day last year, is it still the same?

 

[omit]

no Natalie Imbruglia is very surprising given that Torn is the most played song on australian radio

 

[ripitup27]

On Fox they are and were, didn't think Triple M gave her that much of a run. They are hit and miss a bit MMM but I think they hit more than they miss. They're presenters are generally no good though.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Surely its rigged if Nickleback isn't in there

 

[hirdy_is_champ]

MMM could actually be a decent station if they picked up a bit more on non mainstream rock, stopped letting a lot of wanky stuff get played and also stopped with people like Pink. They've got all the old classics (Nirvana etc) which they already play.

Agreed. One thing I've noticed with K-Rock in Geelong is that while there's a lot of crap, they give young local bands a shot and some of the non-mainstream stuff that you'd hear a lot on JJJ.

MMM could learn from that.

 

[Bombers_Forever]

Has to be ACDC "Its a Long Way to the Top" or some other ACDC song.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

38. Two Princes - Spin Doctors

Quality song.

 

[wally funk]

Surely its rigged if Nickleback isn't in there

they'd have a stranglehold on the top 3 if there was a Most Overplayed list

 

[Mr. Blonde]

Now I know the reason I don't listen to Triple M. Has anyone else noticed how similar almost all the songs on this list are.

Almost all from the 90's
All male (except Baby Animals...male band-female singer)
Almost all clasified as rock

What a poor excuse for a radio station.

 

[35eye]

Surely its rigged if Nickleback isn't in there

Or Africa by Toto.

(That's one for the Get This faithful.)

 

[St 07]

Triple M, playing music that ROCKS.

New Pink song starts playing.

 

[Ninty]

Which station plays like half of the song? I remember listening to something like MMM or K-Rock and was good until it just stopped and went to the next one...

 

[Art Corvelay]

I know there's a lot of commercial bashing and I for one despise everything but Triple M and Gold.

You must be referring to Triple M from 10 years ago, not the current incarnation. Other then the footy I wouldn't waste my time listening. I reckon if you compared their playlist from 10 years ago to last year, you'd be surprised at how much they've changed to a "commerical" station.

Pink on Triple M? Please.

 

[ripitup27]

Doing their 50 least played songs of the last 20 years on Friday. Should be interesting to see which list is better.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Or Africa by Toto.

(That's one for the Get This faithful.)

Careful! You'll set them off!

I'm surprised Lips of An Angel wasn't there.

 

[lincsPJ]

thats clearly not adelaide triple m, if it was, then i might actually listen to FM radio again.

triple m here revolves around queen, jovi, chisel, queen, barnsey, crowded house, pink, queen, nickleback....

 

[w00dy]

Agreed. One thing I've noticed with K-Rock in Geelong is that while there's a lot of crap, they give young local bands a shot and some of the non-mainstream stuff that you'd hear a lot on JJJ.

MMM could learn from that.

I agree completely. Especially with triple J now playing a lot more hip hop, dance, indie pop, there's a market there which isn't covered by radio in Australia, and that's real rock and roll...

Triple M need to reinvent themselves like KROQ from LA. Still play the radio rock, most people love, but also embrace rock on the more alternative side of things. Play good rock music essentially.

Here's their most played for 2008

I think the Veronicas even get a run on Triple M these days, so much for a "rock" station...

50 Least?

are you gonna post a list. That'd be very interesting i think.
