Hottest 100 of 2014 prediction thread

[Gibbsy]

This song is a ripper.

Makes me wanna dust off the old MoS vinyl tracks and give em a spin.

They don't make house music like they used to ...

It's an absolute track hey, the first song released this year where I really thought "this is superb". Spun it plenty of times. Everything Duke Dumont has touched has turned to gold so far, it was a travesty that Need U 100% didn't make it into the H100 last year.

 

[GroggSquad]

I think 2014 has been a good year (continuing on from the great form of 2012 and 2013). Hopefully The War on Drugs do well

2009 was the worst year in hottest 100 history and 2010/2011 were pretty weak too, so I'm glad triple j has recovered from that period.

 

[GroggSquad]

Fooies haven't had much airplay over their new album, Something from Nothing and Outside are doing ok but the j's aren't really flogging it like they have every other album.

It is surprising Triple J plays Foo Fighters at all honestly. Their vanilla brand of 'dad rock' sticks out like a sore thumb amongst the rest of the stations playlist.

They are much more of a Triple M band

Read this as "a Triple M bland." Can you have freudian slips for comprehension?

Probably still holding onto Dave Grohl's Nirvana history

 

[DaRenegade]

if Kingsmill still likes them, they get played. many bands lately that used to get lots of love on the j's haven't made that cut (Pearl Jam, U2, Coldplay, Kings of Leon etc) so they're still doing something "right" for him I guess

 

[Silent Alarm]

I like Richard Kingsmill. Great voice and someone well versed in music and who's probably the only bloke in that building who's heard something from Brian Eno.

What about that song Delete by DMA's? Wasn't that popular on Triple J? Has all the ingredients of a top fiver (it's Australian, a new band, it's a ballad, it's bulk deep n s**t) except for the fact it was rinsed in February, March, April.

 

[Nallad]

It's always a novelty song so pick one

It's also a really good song! Haha, it doesn't seem like it has been played much recently though, might get forgotten.

Very good sound for band that look very odd, when you see them for the first time haha

Cosby Sweater. By popular Aussie band with heaps of previous H100 success and released late in the yearish. The song is all over mainstream radio/tv, and it's novelty enough with its Cosby, solange knowles, bobby fisher refs. Just needs a few unnecessary naughty words and it would have H100 winner written all over it.

That look is intentional and somewhere between smoking cigs at Cabramatta Bus Port and drinking White and Mackay at a Burnely council estate. And pulling chicks at Goodgod Small Club in 2014... "I love Carhatt! The Gallaghers were such fashionistas!" she says between conversation of Opening Ceremony

 

[Robbo92]

Not many songs stick out to me at all this year. I was thinking the other day of who I'd vote for and I struggled to get past 5 songs.
Will definitely be voting for Kingswood and Banks though.

Hated it at first, mainly because of the atrocious opening. Ended up as a lock for my top 10

 

[NotAMagpieBogan]

Shoe in -

Catchy sing but man it rips off another song sooo bad!

I can't remember what the other song is but when you hear it, man you notice that they'll be the same

 

[Silent Alarm]

Opening in Zombie is really good.

Rest of the song is derivative, K&Q-b-side, repetitive... it's by the numbers but it's not a bad song or anything. I reckon it'll be in the 15-25.

You don't reckon the opening sounds like another "lonely bearded man with guitar" song? The guts of the song shits over the disjointed opening

Didn't that one win the Hottest 100 last year?

 

[Gibbsy]

Didn't that one win the Hottest 100 last year?

Yeah, apart from the fact that's he neither bearded nor lonely

It is amusing watching Vance Joy try and do another 'Riptide' though. It'll never happen. A couple of admirable attempts on his album but nothing has that hit power and I think even the commercial radio stations have jumped off him now

100% ripoff. Sounds like a frikken Kaieser Chiefs song

Mmm I see what you mean but there is still another song that I'm thinking of, I thinks it's from the 80's

 

[Silent Alarm]

Jamie T's even less hairy and way less forlorn in his songs if you want to take the literal route

 

[PastiesPeake]

I know the song you are talking about and it has been on the tip of my tongue for days. Killing me!!
