I've had this lingering Triple J idea for a few years now (possibly the dumbest) and it goes hand in hand with the AFL draft age eligibility.

Each year, the Triple J Hottest 100 should really be voted on songs just turned 18 years old.

For example, the songs eligible for the hottest 100 of 2023 would've had to be released in 2005 (or December 2004 at the earliest) and the 20 year yearly replay would have each song as having turned 38 years old.

One advantage of this is the removal of recency bias.
The one disadvantage is how many have people forgotten.

Just an idea (albeit dumb) I have.

It wouldn't really be the "hottest" 100 then would it

In 25th Place is I've No More ****s to Give by Thomas Benjamin Wild Esq (with Tom Carradine) with 0 votes & 3 Billies (BBB), nominated by spudmaster
In 24th Place is Cherry Blue Intention by Special Interest with 3 votes & 2 Billies (BB3), nominated by omgfridge
In Equal 22nd Place is Stupid is as Stupid Does by Dune Rats ft. K.Flay with 5 votes & 1 Billies (B32), nominated by hotchilli
In Equal 22nd Place is Padded Room by Welyn with 5 votes & 1 Billies (B5), nominated by Drunkgoliath
In 21th Place is Let it Roll by Divide the Day with 6 votes & 1 Billies (411), nominated by Raveneyes

Spud avoids the Billy but also, sadly, a vote. Lucky he has...
The more interesting, niche genres represented he didn't get much love.
Neither did Raveneye's classic rock nom surprisingly. Good to have you back though and wish you more success here out.
I was guilty of snubbing this group sorry to say.

Id be very interested if Double J did an equivalent Hottest 100. I don't think they ever will mind you, but it'd be interesting to see.

Up until about 4-5 years ago, wasn't it Trips with the 200-101 and Dubs with the throwback?

I never thought about it in that context until now.

I always thought it was something catchy.

Never realised it was relating to the previous year.

Certified dumbness on my part.

In 20th Place is Goofy by Ax and the Hatchetmen with 8 votes & 1 Billies (24B2), nominated by SM
In 19th Place is I Wanna Be a Hippy (Flamman & Abraxas remix) by Technohead with 10 votes & 6 Billies (BBBB55BB), nominated by MP_

Second time lucky for Ax and the Henchmen as their debut nom got donuts.
After changing their initial nom, which I thought was good, to something previously nommed (that I thought was less good), MP_ is the recipient of the coveted Billy and, as such, this brilliant Wazza avatar!

Forgive me if Triple J already do this, but what about a daily segment where people can nominate songs for Triple J to play so that more songs are openly introduced rather than Triple J Dictating which songs get air time.

Cheers matey.

My music taste is not too popular around here. Though I did get a win with the Lemonheads.
I've got my badge through non-rock stuff from acts like Muddy Waters and Willie Nelson!

The tradition of having a bunch of noms in the teens continues with not much separation here. I'm personally hoping quite a few of these acts feature in the next "Touring Oz 2024" theme.

Excuse the edits for the previous posts. I'd forgotten to include the winner in the reorganising. Thus everyone previously mentioned got bumped down a placing. Sorry.

Anyhow. These noms were popular! Good job contestants. Why is there only 4 though...

Which leaves myself and Ulahoopski left with Etta Marcus and Regina Spektor. Corruption watchdogs are taking a keen interest.
