Should the billy be abolished?

  • Yes - it's long run its course and would reduce billy bait

  • No - it adds some fun and discussion to the contest

Heard this at the supermarket. Its bad enough just with Tracy Ch a pman. Hard pass, insta billy

But what if we all nommed them?

I thought the idea was to get Riviat off the podium with long progressive rock songs. This will only make it worse
The original is a timeless classic. Jonas Blue's version is terrible because it completely removes the raw emotion that makes the original so good and turns it into flavourless mush.

Shows how much television impacted my youth - I would swear it was football , meatpies , kangaroos and HOLDEN cars

Must be an advert I'm thinking of.

I think Aussie was the original and Holden changed it for their ads.
 
Not when Shannon Noll released this:

I gotta car
I gotta great, big shiny car

To be fair a lot of songs have some cringey lyrics. Take Paradise City. "Take me down where the grass is green and the girls are pretty" .

That's bad, and we could go on forever discussing bad lyrics, but the opening lines to Drive legitimately sounds like it was written by The Wiggles* as a spin-off of Big Red Car. It was actually written by Bryan Adams.

*I don't have anything against The Wiggles, I loved them as a kid and they serve their purpose.

I love Why Can't This Be Love [Van Halen] but umm.....

"I tell myself
Hey, only fools rush in
Only time will tell if we stand the test of time"

But mmm that guitar. Used to play it over and over.

Yeah, that wasn't good. When did they turn into Limp Bizkit?
They've aimed for a more festival sound since Ire, which came out in 2015 IIRC. I don't mind Glitch, but it's not even the best single they've released off the new album.

Still holding out that Northlane gets a nod with Carbonized, but they don't have the same volume of automatic votes that PWD and the Amity Affliction do.
 
I'm rating eve
Thought Wombats would be higher. Surprised AM haven't come out yet.
I'm rating every song. Is this what it feels like to feel like this? is so underappreciated. I'm not typically a Wombats listener but that song is my favorite song so far by a fair bit. It's going on my playlist.

Yeah was in my votes.

My other AM song hasn't come out but I don't expect it to. It's a much better song than Mirrorball though.
 
Mirrorball didn't do it for me. I liked Body Paint Better

Yeah Body Paint is a banger. Think I've nommed it but it's definitely one that grows on you the more you hear it.
 
I've only ever heard Fathers Day from Weddings Parties Anything. I love this song, the story telling aspect to it.
Especially when you know that it was based on a true story. I would've preferred for the live version from Queenscliff to get a run though.



Here's another song about the same bloke.

I'll have to take a look. I noticed it didn't get enough love last time it was nominated. I did give it 5 votes. I love a good story.

Here are my thoughts on the top 100, no doubt it's gonna piss a few people off. Particularly BPM Fans HAHA. I'm gonna piss off a few people regarding my thoughts on The Angels. Sorry Fossie 32 That song sucks

Really don't like Steve Lacy at all, or even get the appeal for this artist. Terrible music, no inspiration, annoying repetition.

This song is a piece of crap, generic, simplistic, repetitive. It's a very simple song with simple samples

The F. is it with crappy autotune. The worst song so far. I'm going to be sick.

But what if we all nommed them?


The original is a timeless classic. Jonas Blue's version is terrible because it completely removes the raw emotion that makes the original so good and turns it into flavourless mush.
The live version on David Letterman is amazing, I’m disappointed with your comments Purple7x08_24
