Agree that the Hilltops & Sia will poll highly, and tbh, whatever your feelings towards Aussie hip-hop are, it probably deserves it. It's one of the better tunes they've pulled out since probably the nosebleed section.
Ended up going with:
Grouplove - Tongue Tied
M83 - Midnight City
Kasabian - Days are forgotten
The Wombats - Techno Fan
PNAU - The Truth
Nero - Promises
Jay-Z & Kanye West - No Church in the Wild
Gotye - Somebody that I used to Know
Boy & Bear - Feeding Line
The Strokes - Under Cover...
And if you believe there was a golden age where a fair degree of crap didn't dominate the lists you're deluded.
It's a popular music poll, some fun but s**t music is going to make it whenever it is.
Bemoaning it now in comparison to bygone eras is just a "back in my day" too indie for...
Funny how memories zoom in on the good stuff.
Few remember the number of mid 90s AFL games that were awful boundary hugging, stoppage filled, flooding congested contests despite these making up arguably the majority of games.
Last year's song.
And bullshit nostalgia. Go look through some of the number 1s from the 90s. Plenty of s**t there. I mean Pretty Fly for a White Guy? Please.
Early leans:
The Strokes - Undercover of Darkness
Goteye - Somebody that I used to Know
Boy & Bear - Feeding Line
Two Door Cinema Club - What You Know (have a feeling it just sneaks in)
PNAU - The Truth
The Wombats - Techno Fan
The Kooks - Junk of the Heart
Kasabian - Velociraptor
Dawn of the...
Tame Impala ->Mark Ronson -> The Presets-> MGMT -> Pendulum -> The Chemical Brothers.
Probably see a bit of Art Vs Science and Dizzee, should be a good day.
Listening to The Experiment - Art Vs Science and am slightly disappointed. Wasn't expecting high musical genius, but did think there would be fun, catchy songs, all a bit experimental imo.
Phenomenal effort,
I think you're potentially massively underrating ABC News and Young Blood which I think have strong top 20 potential.
Also think Barricade, It Can Wait and Bloodbuzz Ohio will all be well entrenched in the top 50.
I'd also be surprised if Summer Well doesn't make it...
Couldn't agree more, I hate people who hate on the Hottest 100 just to laud how they're even more alternative than the alternatives, either ignore it, or post a sensible argument instead of this looking down on bullshit!
If anyone's curious, if the electorate consisted of solely BF voters the result would look like:
11.
The National – Bloodbuzz Ohio
Little Red – Rock It
Kanye West – Runaway
7.
Children Collide – Jellylegs
Foals – Spanish Sahara
Two Door Cinema Club – I Can Talk
Mark Ronson & The...
1. F-U - Cee Lo Green
2. Big Jet Plane - Angus & Julia Stone
3. Rock It - Little Red
4. Babara Streisland - The Duck Sauce
5. Teenage Crime - Adrian Lux
6. Addicted - Bliss & Esso
7. Plans - Birds of Tokyo
8. Runaway - Kanye West
9. ABC News Theme Remix - Pendulum
10. Somebody to Love...
Agree, with Big Jet Plane, Barbra Streisland and Teenage Crime rounding out the top 5.
If I had to guess other songs appearing in the top 10 it would be Addicted, Plans, ABC News, Runaway and Somebody to Love.
Have you heard Finally See Our Way? Seemed to be a return to the better stuff, couldn't agree more with your assessment of Magic Fountain.
Supposedly called "The Experiment" and due out 25th of February.
Got waved straight through in Lorne, was upset at the effort involved in hiding it all!
Great times though, Car is now covered in ****ing locusts!
Public Enemy, Boy and Bear, Cold War Kids, The National, The Living End, Ladyhawke, Klaxons and Yacht Club DJs were my stand outs.
Interpol the...
I enjoy the people who claim the hottest 100 has lost some sort of credibility, just been looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_J_Hottest_100 and popular s**t's always done well.
In the top 10s of 1999 and 2000 Powderfinger, Fatboy Slim, The Bloodhound Gang, Limp Bizkit, the Red Hot...
Agree that Cee Lo will s**t it in. Could be worse I suppose.
I'm likely to go for:
Wombats - Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves)
Pendulum - ABC news
K-Os - I wish I knew Natalie Portman
Interpol - Summer Well
The National - Bloodbuzz Ohio
Chiddy Bang - Opposite of Adults
The Naked and Famous -...
They offered Marion Bay as a consolation prize to those who missed out on Lorne regardless of whether you entered solely for Lorne.
I have nothing against Marion Bay per se, it's just a way bigger pain in the arse to get to from Adelaide.
Ended up with 3 allocations between 10 mates, so...
I can top that.
I used to work at Kmart and was subjected to Kmart Radio all day which played top 40 crap along with your usual predictable crap.
The problem is they'd keep the same playlist for approximately 3 months at a time, as in if you heard Good Charlotte's Dance Floor Anthem you...
