Hottest 100 of 2014 prediction thread

[PumpyChowdown]

Just listened to the top 10 posted by thewitness (cracking job btw!).

Peking Duk? Seriously? It's the most standard goddamn generic crap I've heard. Absolutely bog average stuff. Nothing innovative or adventurous about it at all. Hilltop Hoods are an abomination and should be in jail for crimes against music. ZHU sounds exactly like 100,000 other pop/trance/edm tracks released this year.

Griswolds? Meh, Vampire Weekend wannabes.

Sticky Fingers was okay. Again, nothing special at all. Kinda Fatboy Slim-ish happy upbeat dancey without being dance music stuff. Safe.

Milky Chance was turgid, vile and utterly unlistenable. Any money those dickholes have been ruining parties ever since they first got an acoustic guitar and thought they were the reincarnation of Bob Marley. I was very surprised to learn they were German.

Chet Faker is pretty good, but nothing spectacular. Good background/cafe kinda music.

Kite String Tangle was good.

Overall though, extremely poor. I shudder to think what the rest of the list is like. JJJ is so unfortunately bland now days.

I just listened to Milky Chance then because of your amazingly truthful acoustic guitar party twat comment. Holy shit it is terrible. The dude's #rockin his lame arse shoes open, fashionably ratty pants, hair-so-greasy-it-stands-up look... the kind of dude girls who go to Earthcore would enjoy.

Lucky that Matt Okine dude is hell funny though

[jagobbin]

Other than Total Control I know none of these. But love long lists so....

Total Control also had Expensive Dog and Safety Net on the short list, but too many to choose from.....

 

[Silent Alarm]

Is this Sky Ferreira voting hypothetical? How's it eligible? First play on their station in 2014?

 

[thewitness]

I

Is this Sky Ferreira voting hypothetical? How's it eligible? First play on their station in 2014?

I Blame Myself was officially released as a "single" in 2014.

 

[GroggSquad]

This is the positions for now in my count. I'll be back in the new year.

Good job, I appreciate the effort! Surprised Angus & Julia Stone, Sia and The Black Keys aren't polling better. No U-huh by Tkay Maidza in your 200 either, which I thought would have heaps of support.

I'll certainly be voting for Caribou's Can't Do Without You (#101) and Vic Mensa's Down On My Luck (#103) in hope that they scrape into the countdown, they're great songs

 

[Gibbsy]

Is this Sky Ferreira voting hypothetical? How's it eligible? First play on their station in 2014?

Their eligibility rules are very odd and inconsistent, I can only guess that what thewitness said is correct.

But then by the same token, Fur Eyes and Saramona Said by Violent Soho should be eligible, they'd probably be top 50 and top 20 respectively

 

[Athomas]

I'll certainly be voting for Caribou's Can't Do Without You (#101) and Vic Mensa's Down On My Luck (#103) in hope that they scrape into the countdown, they're great songs

Yeah it's great to know roughly where they are. Encouraging friends to listen/vote for Monument (98) and Down on my Luck (103).

 

[DaRenegade]

Their eligibility rules are very odd and inconsistent, I can only guess that what thewitness said is correct.

But then by the same token, Fur Eyes and Saramona Said by Violent Soho should be eligible, they'd probably be top 50 and top 20 respectively

exactly, it's ridiculous. especially as VS are one of my fav bands and I was going to vote for Saramona Said before I realised they hadn't included it, then same with Fur Eyes -_-

 

[Jcpdragonx]

dont know a single song in this thread...

 

[WALDENPOND]

[Jcpdragonx]

Got some favourite songs of 2014?

These would be my top 10 that have played commercially (bar maybe 2 of them, they are more popular overseas). Most of my actual favourites would be non singles on albums, but from the same artists. None of this urban stuff has any place in a triple J thread but I'd like to post my top songs anyway

[DrummoSolo]

RE: Sky Ferriera, I'm pretty sure you'll find the album got an Australia release in 2014.
