But I haven't heard it, so haven't included it on my list yet. Can't see it on the hub either :(

[Tzar]

BYOB will be up there

[Kid Presentable]

Wolfmother will be in the Top 5. Triple J can be right fuckwits when it comes to Aussie bands. Especially bands that rip off better, older bands.

[gaselite]

Has anyone noticed that the video to Mind's Eye (I really do like that song) is pretty much a homage/ripoff (which ever way you want to look at it :p) of the Gratitude video? true story, at least, that's what I noticed when I first saw it.

[Rancid_Beasties]

Wolfmother will do what missy higgins did last year.

No homage. An homage should be in passing. Continued lifting of a style is talentless, plain and simple.

[gaselite]

Fair enough, and I do see what you mean about Triple J whoring Aussie bands, particularly when they come #1 on the hottest one hundred one year, and three years down the track just about everyone has completely forgotten about them.

yea. like, for example, the veronicas, who rip off tatu. but they're cool though, i'm definitely feeling that '4ever' tune.

havent heard alot of the tunes listed but heres 10 [alphabetical order]:

annie - heartbeat
bugz in the attic - booty lala
colder - wrong baby
fat freddy's drop - wandering eye
hanne hukkelberg - little girl
mint chicks - opium for the people
missy elliott - loose control
new pornographers - twin cinema
pharrell - can i have it like that?
soulwax - ny excuse

[Pres Zount]

Wolfmother will do what missy higgins did last year.

Be really fucking annoying?

ha! True.

[Rancid_Beasties]

Be really fucking annoying?
Nah take like 2 or 3 of the top 10 places, but be beaten for the number one by a british band (franz ferdinand last year, bloc party this year).

[gaselite]

If I had to bet, I'd bet on Feelgood, Inc to win this year

[Rancid_Beasties]

Yeah that'd be my second after banquet. Well that is if only triple j listeners voted. However, you are probably right about feel good inc because alot of mainstream listeners vote in the hottest 100.

[icy manipulator]

the song that gets no 1 will be shit anyway, it usually always is. triple j is polluted with so much hippy crap these days

When wasn't it??

Anyway triple j hasnt got anywhere near as bad as what triple m have gotten. They slipped from a genuine alternative to triple j to a pop radio station as soon as Austereo or whoever bought them. I remember the days when they used to actually play metallica, ac/dc, nirvana, pearl jam etc etc.

[gaselite]

hasn't triple m been owned by Austereo for ages?

[icy manipulator]

Anyway triple j hasnt got anywhere near as bad as what triple m have gotten. .

true true, at least on triple m there's a chance of hearing some great 80's song now and then

[Rancid_Beasties]

hasn't triple m been owned by Austereo for ages?
Precisely. I'm talking about early 90s here.

[hitmonlee]

When wasn't it??

when offspring pretty fly for a white guy won :p

i havent thought about my votes yet. i better get on it.

The top 20 is never filled with hippy shit. Its always got the more poppy stuff in it. Anyway, this year couldnt possibly be any worse than 2003 (http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/hottest100/history/2003.htm)

Heres what I voted for, although my shortlist was about 100 songs long, so I dont know if these were really my favourite songs.

Helicopter - Bloc Party

An Honest Mistake - Bravery

The Denial Twist - White Stripes

Kill Rock N Roll - System Of A Down

Everybody Knows That You Are Insane - Queens Of The Stone Age

L'Via L'Viaquez - Mars Volta

Daft Punk Is Playing At My House - LCD Soundsystem

Everyday I Love You Less & Less - Kaiser Chiefs

King Of The Rodeo - Kings Of Leon

Dare - Gorillaz

[Kid Presentable]

Bleurgh to the whole lot...

[hitmonlee]

2004 gets my vote as worst year ever

http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/hottest100/history/2004.htm

[Tzar]

^ that is a shocking list. (n)

[scotty]

Have there been any good songs this year?

The only good thing about triple j these days is Jay and the Doctor cause they hark back to the days of overt political broadcasting and completely unprofessional behaviour. The Morning Show is completely ruined. Robbie Buck is knowledgeable but annoying, rosie beaton and mel in the morning (originality?) need to kneecapped and Caroline Tran is being brought back. Next thing you know Jane Gazzo and Charlie Pickering will be inflicted upon us again.

Thank the Great Pumpkin for Richard Kingsmill. The rant ends here.

[hitmonlee]

Daft Punk- Robot Rock
Tiga - You Gonna Want Me
Mylo Vs Miami Sound Machine - Doctor Pressure

(y) (y) aren't they from perth too?

[hitmonlee]

yeah they are, i know one of the guys in it, its not one of my top 10 songs, but you have to support people you know :)

(although i feel bad for not voting for a layla track - she lives around the corner from me, but i dont think her track has a chance anyway)

I owe Layla twenty bucks.

[hitmonlee]

nah really do you know her? she went to my school year below me

THAT NEVER HAPPENS IN PERTH!

I don't know anybody. It just felt nice to say I did.

wtf that's wicked.

well my best effort is that the lead singer of the Butterfly Effect lives 2 avenues down from me.....

[Kid Presentable]

Didn't Bernard Fanning win?

That is fucking criminal. Where did Wolfmother place? Hopefully near enough to a cliff for my sneezing to topple them over the edge and into oblivion.

[Rancid_Beasties]

Wolfmother broke the record for most tracks in the hottest 100, with 6 I think. The top two places were pretty soft. But from there on it was alright...
