Echols can we merge with current thread?
I have a feeling smoke trails may have been last year, if it isnt it will be in my top 10!Hi. Just joined this forum so I could have my 2c worth. I really love your list guys, and I'm super impressed you could get to 100 songs! I pooled my youtube lists and shazam tags and only got to 32 or something like that... The reason I wanted to have a say is because I feel you have overlooked some songs. I will list them as follows;
A big one is the Illy and friends Medley he performed for the start of Aus music month, I think that will do very well for aus hip hop and get somewhere around the 50s.
Curious about your Aussie hip hop predicitions too because you have not listed Horrorshow - Dead star shine, which is IMO one of the better Aus hip hop tracks of this year. Not to mention Illy - youngbloods, Jackie Onassis - Juliette and smoke trails.
I've never been good at this sort of thing, as what I think is a great track sometimes never even makes it in the hottest 100 (commercialism I say). But opinions are like butt holes... everyone has one right?
Another song you haven't mentioned, which will DEFINITELY be in there is Michael Paskalev - I spy.
An underdog that is coming up hard and will probably break the top 10 is Tkay Maizda - Stomp your feet like a brontosaurus.

Thanks for the list though, it's good to see I'm not the only on that loves to have a good think about what makes music great.
Brad.
Plus she's got those low standards which make her seem attainable.Not a fan of Lorde's music, but shit, she is ridiculously attractive in the weirdest way. Her accent sounds really sexy as well, weird considering NZ accents sound cheesy.
Never hated on anyone in this thread; it's a different scene here. It's more the majority of listeners. Just those w***ers on Facebook posting their top 10s as statuses like music is a status symbol, and like indie music is a status symbol and who they are. I know you know the type. That's the majority of people who listen to it and think it's some beacon of left-field, elusive, buried music or something. Like the people'll who rock up at Big Day Out in their Bulls singlets who're offended when someone calls Chvrches 'pop' and not 'indie.'And I haven't heard Drake anywhere. Granted I don't really catch much commercial radio anymore but I haven't heard him on Fox, Nova or the J's. Maybe on Syn once or twice but that's about it...
Also I reckon the "Triple J faux-elitism" is a figment of your imagination. Or at least the people in this thread don't express it. Don't hate on us!
Jesus christ that is one of the wankiest posts I've ever read. In fact, I could probably write an essay on just how wanky it is...

Just a word on Yeezus, it's not for everyone (like every album?), but it's hard to imagine not being moved by the raw intensity and anger of "New Slaves", which then continues with the powerful imagery of "Blood on the Leaves"; and the remorse and sorrow of "Hold My Liquor".
Lots of his lyrics are pretty average, because first and foremost he is a producer. His fingerprints are all over The Blueprint (Jay-Z, 2001), then for heaps of other Roc-A-Fella artists, and later for plenty of other artists: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanye_West_production_discography
What he does rap about is often the emotions he is dealing with, and representing the anger and injustice he finds within his heritage (Blood on the Leaves, New Slaves, Roses, POWER etc.). But a poet he is not.
You can analyse the shit out of music if you want, that's fine. And I actually agree that Triple J is just pop music for people who consider pop music to be beneath them. I'm referring to the claim of Chvrches having a track which is a 'diaspora and call to arms' (lolwut?), people not liking Drake because of some hipstery conceitedness (irony), and you claiming that you could write a freakin essay about the title and chorus of a song that - despite admittedly being pretty good - really just fits in nicely with a lot of other good tracks in the 2010s R&B milieu....When isn't writing about music wanky? Art is inherently pretentious. You google the meaning of that word and that's what art is: it's hyperbolic and overanalysed. As someone with an LD avatar, you should be able to appreciate neurosis. I mean, give me an artist who doesn't have neurotic traits and I'll tell you they're shit. It's not very often that music or finer art is devoid of blowing up something small. That's why it's good.
There's nothing cool about shrugging off analysing music and art; just like there's nothing cool about thinking that's the only way. That's what pop music is (and yo, all those Triple J songs you're voting for, 90% of them are pop songs) – it has those layers of being able to just enjoy it, but to also engage with pretty heavily.
