Triple J's Hottest 100 of Australian Songs

[Gough]

And still no Skyhooks which is shame considering they kicked off JJ in the first place.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Been a good start this morning.

 

[DaRenegade]

Wild Roses in alot earlier than I expected.

First of a few Flume and Tame tracks I'm sure will be in here too.

 

[JT_the_Man]

A former number 1 sighted at 176.

 

[Roobs321]

wonder if this might be it for Kylie (with J-ish #179 and #175 and CGYOOMH in the hundred), too many classics to pick from

 

[Roobs321]

dread-full ten here

 

[JackOutback]

If I get bored, I was thinking of rearranging the 100 into my 100, not adding any songs, just my personal 1-100.

 

[Bostonian]

Where the **** is Jessie's Girl.

Huge world wide hit, #1 song when MTV launched.

Won Springfield a Grammy.

Still played a ton more than the majority of the songs on that list.

Young people still get up to sing and dance to this one any function I've been at.

Rick Springfield wasn't on the voting list for whatever reason.

 

[The Casey Cat]

Rick Springfield wasn't on the voting list for whatever reason.

Neither was Mondo Rock's 'Come Said The Boy'. Wasn't worth taking that seriously in the first place but the count lost all credibility with me there.

 

[PhatBoy]

I wanted to vote for Let It Happen, but as it wasn't on the voting list, I didn't bother.

And in a welcome change from complaining about songs that I didn't think should be there, particularly older ones, I want to give a shout-out to a song I wouldn't have thought to vote for myself but absolutely blew me away hearing it again, I Was Only 19. Gave me goosebumps, I played it for my kids today, it says a lot about our history and national identity, wouldn't have any issue with that being considered one of Australia's best songs.

I was driving at the time it came on. I actually sing it - occasionally - myself at gigs but I don’t know if it was the context of the countdown and just being sandwiched in between a lot of Australian songs and the idea that it still has relevance to Australians now or what but driving along with the radio at high volume literally just the acoustic intro to that song made me tear up on Saturday

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Not looking but will there be a replay of the drip feeds in one volume later on?

 

[JT_the_Man]

They are doing the full count on Saturday.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

They are doing the full count on Saturday.

Thank you.

I’ll be ready for that then.

 

[Roobs321]

embarrassing by Michael Hing there, didn't seem aware of Jeremy Oxley's lifestory in recent decades, was reading straight off his Wiki page. Watch The Sunnyboy for starters dude.

Dylan Lewis in afternoons is much better.

 

[Loonerty]

Is This How You Feel? deserved to be so much higher, amazing song.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Blue Planet Eyes is a very underrated album. Perfectly crafted pop rock.

Yeah, Hing is so painful to listen to.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

What a mixed bag of a 10.

Pleasure and Pain (Hopefully good news for Boys in Town)
Harpoon
Honeymoon is Over
Art vs Science

Lots of Nothing ( very apt title). Good For You, Feeding the Family and lunch-time are solid tunes that I wouldn't mind making it, but they also have a lot of "bread with a glass of water on the side for dipping" songs.

Nikki Webster... come on now

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Strawberry Kisses getting voted in, as presumably a bit of a gag, makes me think we'll see Shannon Noll a bit later on.

 

[DaRenegade]

I told yall it’d likely make an appearance haha

Harpoon is such a cracker, hopefully Leaving Home is closer to the 101

 

[Roobs321]

I love INXS, but if I never have to hear New Sensation ever again I'll be ecstatic. As overplayed as it gets.

when you turn on Double J and hear the previous song (#139) you missed was New Sensation

Blame Target.

Live Baby Live
Now that the song is over

 

[DaRenegade]

Plans is such a tune. First sighting (and hopefully last of Lime Cordiale) and we actually got Hoops ugh.
