Triple J Hottest 100 of All Time

[cammo84]

I put mine in last night and today I thought of about 3 more tracks that wouldve made my top 10... too late now though. Anyway, here's mine...

radiohead - paranoid android
metallica - one
nirvana - lithium
the beatles - a day in the life
jane's addiction - been caught stealing
rage against the machine - killing in the name
bob marley & the wailers - redemption song
jimi hendrix - all along the watchtower
jay-z - 99 problems
led zeppelin - when the levee breaks

This would be a much better poll if people voted for the songs that are actually their favourite 10 of all time, rather than songs based on 'greatness'

This would be a much better poll if people voted for the songs that are actually their favourite 10 of all time, rather than songs based on 'greatness'

Maybe they're great because they're so many peoples favourite songs?

 

[volcboy]

Very, very difficult to vote for only 10 songs, but I voted for:

Tool - Lateralus
Alice in Chains - Them Bones
Beastie Boys - Shake Your Rump
The Beatles - A Day In The Life
Ministry - Just One Fix
Nine Inch Nails - Closer
Pantera - Mouth For War
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
Rage Against the Machine - Killing In The Name
TISM - Morrison Hostel

 

[w00dy]

Foo Fighters - Everlong
Shihad - The General Electric
The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army
Kings of Leon - King Of The Rodeo
The Hives - Hate To Say I Told You So
The Living End - Prisoner Of Society
Oasis - Wonderwall
The Prodigy - Breathe
Queens of the Stone Age - No One Knows
AC/DC - Back In Black

this is such a hard thing to do... some of these songs aren't massive favourites of mine now, but are still great songs, loved them in my younger days, and if they weren't flogged so much, I'd probably love them heaps still (namely wonderwall and prisoner of society)

In some cases but there will be alot of voting for stuff like smells like teen spirit, stairway to heaven etc by people thinking oh thats thought as a 'great' song, rather than just the votes for what their favourite 10 songs are.

 

[omit]

is it possible to vote for the classic composers?

i have a feeling they will be under represented in the top 100

 

[La Dispute]

Pelican - Autumn Into Summer
Pixies - Debaser
Joy Division - She's Lost Control
The Smiths - How Soon Is Now?
Muse - Citizen Erased
Opeth - Dirge For November
Karnivool - Themata
Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye
Radiohead - The Tourist
The Smashing Pumpkins - Thru The Eyes of Ruby

I don't see why not.

I could see Pachelbels Cannon making a push for Top 10

Or people will vote for them because they are one of their favourite 10 songs...

[Suspense]

is it possible to vote for the classic composers?

No, that would be impossible considering The Beatles only invented music in the 1960s...

 

[Juicy1]

Bet none of mine make it:

You are voting for:
ROOT! - I Wear My Prescription Sunglasses At Night
Ween - You F****d Up
Weezer - Buddy Holly
Frank Zappa - Dinah Moe Humm
Psychotic Turnbuckles - Groove To The Eye
TISM - Defecate On My Face
Mr Floppy - The 1992 Ws Cox Plate
The Celibate Rifles - Sometimes
Pixies - Tony's Theme
Z-Rock Hawaii - I Get A Little Taste Of You

 

[P.A.F.C]

No, that would be impossible considering The Beatles only invented music in the 1960s...

I'm sure if ABC classic FM did one of these, 19th century music on wouldn't exist

Pick the odd one out.

 

[FIGJAM]

Pick the odd one out.

Ha ha! That's the first thing I thought.

Disgrace if it even makes it, but it will.

 

[scooterb]

Pick the odd one out.

Haha.

Stairway will and probably should win. It cleaned up in the Triple M Top 500 last year, so I expect similar results.

 

[Bomber Bears]

i still cant vote in this stupid poll because it just freezes after i add one song to the shortlist. Anyone else using IE having that problem?

 

[musha_13]

The Waifs - London Still
The Killers - Mr Brightside
The Killers - When You Were Young

Haha.

Stairway will and probably should win. It cleaned up in the Triple M Top 500 last year, so I expect similar results.

Triple M has a bit of a difference in demographics to JJJ. JJJ has already done an all-time poll before and Stairway got 6th. I wouldn't expect it to get any higher than that.

The last top 10 went as follows...
1- Nirvana - Smells like teen spirit
2- Hunters & Collectors - Throw your arms around me
3- Pearl Jam - alive
4- Jeff Buckley - last goodbye
5- Radiohead - creep
6- Led Zeppelin - stairway to heaven
7- Metallica - one
8- Queen - bohemian rhapsody
9- Metallica - enter sandman
10- Pearl Jam - Black

I would expect Teen Spirit to win again, or atleast get top 3. I wouldn't think Metallica and Pearl Jam will get multiple entries in the top 10 again.

If Kings of Leon win I will seriously smash things. I've already conceded that they will get a song or two in the poll, and probably one of them in the top 10, but I'd hate for the results to get hijacked by their lame flavour-of-the-month commercial rock bullshit. KOL already ruined the latest Hottest 100, de-throning Offspring for the worst winning song in Hottest 100 history. "Dammit" by Blink 182 was apparently the 20th best song of all time in 1997, hopefully something like that doesn't happen again.
