Where did One Trick Ponies finish?

That should've been top 10 at least.

Kurt Vile has barely appeared on a list if at all. Even Pretty Pimpin didn't make the list in 2015. Double J and RRR are where you will here genuine quality music like him, War on Drugs and Beach House. Triple J has been on a steep decline for the last decade.

 

[Plugger35]

This should've been top 10 too.




No airplay on Triple J though and you have no chance.

 

[Ulahoopski]

You won't hear the best music of 2018 by listening to JJJ. People know that though. Don't they?

Unfortunately, people will judge modern music by it even though very few of the best releases make the countdown. People need to actually explore now (which isn't that hard with Spotify and all) unlike the 90s where Triple J was basically all there was to find quality alternative stuff which is why 90s-early 00s countdowns were far superior.

Nah, JJJ listeners will make that judgement. Music lovers won't. Still amazes me that radio even exists with so many ways to both discover and listen to music these days. Humans are just lazy ass campaigners.

I miss Bob .

I'm happy with who won though. Ocean Alley - "Confidence", which I voted for. Can't remember who nommed that here but I gave it 5. Honestly don't care as much about the countdown these days though.

 

[Sparkle]

Glad Amy Shark came in the Top 5, I enjoyed Love Monster and it seems like she puts on a great live performance so I'm keen to see her in Melbourne

 

[SM]

I didn't even podium with Confidence...

 

[Loonerty]

Losing It is the worst #2 in history

 

[Drunkgoliath]

Not sure I have the mental fortitude to leaf through the triple j list. Any list, from any year

 

[Plugger35]

Noiseworks were unlucky.

I thought "No Lies" deserved better.

 

[Smeg Head]

Losing It is the worst #2 in history

Ben Lee, Catch My Disease?

 

[Loonerty]

Ben Lee, Catch My Disease?

Is much better than Losing It

Not really, most people just aren't "That" interested in music, they just see music as background sound to or something to dance or sing to. They prefer to invest their time in other things.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Losing It isn't even a song, it's just noise.

 

[GreyCrow]

Tick Tocking for a DQ

 

[Plugger35]

I voted for this Ben Lee song.

Long division just doesn't even matter.

 

[NaturalDisaster]

Tick Tocking for a DQ

Please DQ Noobz0r, he left the Hawks just so he could continue to be mean to me

 

[NaturalDisaster]

Seriously though, last seen 1 43 pm, don't like our chances.
