2013 Triple J Hottest 100‏

Remove this Banner Ad

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.

You know what? I'll just list my tracks and you can tell me where I'm wrong cause I'm not so good at it :)

Ryan Hemsworth - Perfectly


My top 10, that i finally narrowed down to. A couple of unhappy selections. I don't see much point in voting for songs not on the short list, because if i did there would probably only be about two or three songs form this list on my ACTUAL top list but i don't want to throw my votes away. I was really disappointing that the What So Not - How High You Are was not the Branchez remix version, because that song is brilliant and the original pales in comparison, do you reckon we could petition enough people to manually enter it, because thats a fantastic song. Also there were about 8 other Allday songs i wanted to add but i thought i'd keep it to one and keep it to ones form the shortlist.

Jackie Onassis - Smoke Trails is my number one song of the year, so keen for the count down

My Shortlist at this stage:

Everything Everything – Kemosabe
Arcade Fire – Reflektor
Luke Million – Midnight
The Strokes – One Way Trigger
Ex Cops – James
Owl Eyes – Closure
Mr Little Jeans feat. The Silverlake Conservatory of Music Youth Chorale – Oh Sailor
Everything Everything – Duet
Clubfeet - Everything You Wanted
Daft Punk feat. Julian Casablancas – Instant Crush
Divine Fits – Chained to Love
The Strokes – Tap Out
Phoenix – Trying To Be Cool
Foxygen – No Destruction
CHVCHES – Gun
Franz Ferdinand – Right Action
Atlas Genius – Back Seat
Editors – Sugar
Foxygen – San Francisco
Foxygen - On Blue Mountain
The Naked and Famous – What We Want
Okkervil River – On A Balcony
 
So at this point I reckon we'll see Lorde (ugh) or Daft Punk win it. Arctics, Kanye, and Vampire Weekend will all get a top ten placing but I reckon those albums are a bit too strong: each song is going to steal a vote off another, even though each would be worthy of a winner/placing.

Interesting to see so many people voting for Lies by Chvrches. Such a boring song in my humble. I mean I'm all about them to a certain extent, but Gun really is their diaspora and call to arms.

Also, why no love for Drake? Hold On, We're Going Home is a banger. Is it that typical Triple J faux-elitism of "wow I'm indie, Two Door Cinema Club sahh cool" just because you hear it out of car windows and on Nova (presumably) all the time? I don't get how few people are big upping it. A good song on its own merits and a good bookmark for 2013. It has that mid-tempo, really lean, basic, but basey feel to it like so much good music this year (I mean even We Can't Stop is like that; Step too; Do I Wanna Know epitomises it).

Why hold on? Why go home? I could write an essay on that title and chorus and what it means. It's so obtuse but it's so universal. Is it sexy or cynical or hopeless or hopeful? Is he saying it to anyone or himself? Drake has so many parallels with the best lyricists going around, Gareth Campesinos, Ezra Koenig, Alex Turner, and I think that's why I like him.
 
Kanye will be Top 25 at best, I reckon. He's too divisive to be high up with any songs off Yeezus, bar maybe Bound 2.

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!
 
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 surely you have heard Drake! Come on. It's one of the biggest songs of the year. I would hear it pretty much daily in the city, from that shitty bagel place at Melb Central to the kids who can't ollie at the State Library.

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.

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.

Whatever people think about his latest offering, Kanye West would make any respected critic's list of the greatest MCs of all time. And if he died right now, at the 'popular' peak of his powers, like the secretly just as hit-and-miss BIG and Tupac did, he'd probably get in most top fives. I mean, we're talking about Kanye West here, not Dr Dre.
 
This is my T10 that i got down from 73 ... jeez it was a painfyl task but i think the 10 shows that ill still resort to oz hiphop even though I'm not as into as i once was. Just picked the ones i enjoyed the most over the year ... too many special mentions to, uh, mention but yeah. Probably cop a bit of shit but idc ...

Arctic Monkeys - Do I Wanna Know?
Dialectrix - Stop!
Drapht - Salute {Ft. Suffa}
Horrorshow - Take A Walk On The Wild Side/Can I Kick It? {Like A Version}
Illy - Ausmusic Month Medley {Like A Version}
Illy - Coming Down {Ft. Hilltop Hoods}
Kid Cudi - King Wizard
Mantra - Loudmouth
Shockone - Lazerbeam {Ft. Metrik & Kyza}
Spit Syndicate - Amazing

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....

And seriously, do you really think that listening to and loving albums by Arctic Monkeys, Vampire Weekend, Drake, Toro Y Moi and Sky Ferreira puts you on some higher plane than JJJ listeners? Please. If you're going to be a pretentious smuck when it comes to music, at least big up some pretentious music...
