The Black Keys were voted number 2 only a couple of years back so it's not as if Triple J listeners don't acknowledge them. 'Fever' is just far from their best song and far from memorable also (in my opinion anyway).
Really? I would put it equal last with Sex on FireTalk Is Cheap:

Chet Faker coming at number one should be indictment on how shit 2014 was for music, not on the man himself. It's actually pretty funny reading people get so offended by such an inoffensive song.
There was no stand out song this year. Well, maybe Chandelier, but Kingsmill was too cool to play it (that's an entirely different argument). Chet Faker makes music that a heck of a lot of people enjoy. Talk Is Cheap isn't the greatest song of all time, and it won't stack up well against many of the number ones from a few years ago, but that doesn't mean you have to tear the guy to shreds because no one else did anything better.

Stand out song was clearly Red Eyes by The War On Drugs.
Close thread.
Close thread.
5/10 songs I voted for made it, not bad. The only 2 I'm surprised didn't make it are Down On My Luck by Vic Mensa and Merewif by Willow Beats. Especially the latter, they gave it an absolute flogging.
Also lmfao at the 10+ pages of whinging in this thread. Special shout out to those of you who spent at least part of your Australia Day complaining that something as subjective as a music poll didn't fit your exact tastes on an online forum instead of just trying to enjoy the day. Every year it's the same 'Triple J has gone to shit, this top 10 is terrible, why didn't song x make it' etc. etc.
The countdown has been roughly the same quality since I've been listening to it, and even though I didn't vote for it I rate Talk Is Cheap the best number 1 since Knights of Cydonia. The bloke is getting torn to shreds in this thread, and I can see why he might not be to everyone's taste, but if you can't see he's an extremely talented musician you're kidding yourself.

What is this board's obsession with that Red Eyes song? It's a guy singing quietly behind the same ****ing drum beat on a loop for 5 long minutes. I don't think Talk Is Cheap is really a #1 quality song, but I'd rather listen to Chet Faker read the phone book than have Red Eyes as number 1.

This is the worst countdown since last year's countdown. Back in my day JJJ played real bands like Powderfinger and Jet. Rabble rabble rabble.

Ha, didn't even matter that Swift was barred, everyone just goes rabid about the top few songs anyway. Unsurprising that Talk is Cheap won and I don't see why it should be so upsetting. Not a great song, but this hardly signals the death of Australian music/alternative culture/Australia's way of life.
Also to bring up a debate from a few pages back: Amity Affliction. Is there a lamer band getting around right now? I've seen them live and heard a fair few songs of theirs but can't really enjoy them. I like metal and hardcore and all that, but this shit with 2 singers, one who sounds like any other hardcore growler/screamer and one doing his best Tom DeLonge impression is just so cheesy. Those wanky piano intros on their songs too; it's like they draw cliches out of a hat to throw in their songs.

I did well enough but would have been much better if High won.
Also a little bit better if Vance Joy didn't scrape Georgia in.
Think you'll find Chet is doing quite well overseas actually, not to the extent of the others you named but still is going solidly

Don't be a smart arse, you know exactly what I mean.
What if I told you that next year's premiership is probably only a choice of 4 despite there being 18 teams eligible

You are clearly still cut.
What a stupid statement. If I didn't like the winner, I must have wanted the second place to win. Be honest...........you do realise how stupid that sounds don't you?

Right, so it really is about who's authentic enough to make it!
It was always pretty obvious – it wasn't about Taylor Swift not being played ever on Triple J, because Peking Duk evidently got plenty of plays, it's about who is deemed cool enough or The Most Triple J.
