Haha yeah I said it.
Really I don't get the hype. Not a fan at all.
I must just hate that whole section of the music scene. Arctic Monkeys is rubbish to my ears as well.

Yeah my brother is the same. Cant stand the whole re-immergence of the Brit bands in this post punk era. Probably the whinging pommy accent but hey i dig it. Each to there own

 

[meh]

As long as the Fratellis are in there somewhere i couldnt give a rats ass about the countdown

 

[AsianWithAFro]

here's my list I absolutely adore Regina's cover of Real by The Beatles. I reckon it's better than the original.

[AsianWithAFro]

Oh **** no!

What's wrong with them better than most music that comes out of Canada

 

[Embers]

Rolling Stones named it the best song of the year and I have to say I 100% agree

Jay Z - Roc Boys. Very very good song. Easily the best of the year.

 

[Divado]

Cold War Kids - Hospital Beds
Cut Copy - Hearts On Fire
Bag Raiders - Fun Punch
Bloc Party - Song For Clay
Digitalism - Pogo

British India - Black & White Radio
Common - The People
Cut Copy - Hearts On Fire
Muscles - Chocolate, Raspberry, Lemon & Lime
Muse - Knights of Cydonia
Josh Pyke - Forever Song
Shins, The - Phantom Limb
Something For Kate - The Futurist

But yeah, there's always great songs that miss out. Oh well, happy with that

 

[PHX]

Might have a bet or two on the hottest 100.

Better than @ $34!?
Lost & Running @ $21!?
Probably pingpong @ $15s will be a good one to cover.
On Call @ $51
Icky THump @ 41s

Then will probably put a bit on Silverchair to cover my bets if they win as 3.50 is pretty good for clear favourites.

Surprised to see Kisschasy's Opinions will keep you warm at night and Arctic Monkey's Brianstorm not even given odds.

Go figure. BAffling odds. EVen more so than last year I think . . .

 

[screech]

New York by the Joe was 95 last year, making it ineligable. It's a mistake being on the list. No-one vote for it. Waste of a vote.

I remember Naked Eye by Luscious Jackson making it in 2 years in a row, I think the second year it came in around #100

 

[no31]

My votes

Wombats, The - Let's Dance To Joy Division
Bluejuice - Vitriol
Urthboy - We Get Around
Tegan And Sara - Back In Your Head
Soko - I'll Kill Her
Regina Spektor - That Time
Muse - Knights of Cydonia
Jackson Jackson - Eliza
Jose Gonzalez - Down The Line
Cat Empire - No Longer There

 

[Wrangeroos]

Might have a bet or two on the hottest 100.

Better than @ $34!?
Lost & Running @ $21!?
Probably pingpong @ $15s will be a good one to cover.
On Call @ $51
Icky THump @ 41s

Foo Fighters - The Pretender @34 too

Probably even more baffling than any of the above!

It poohs all over Best of You and that finished 4th a few years back.

They have a huge fan base

 

[screech]

My voting this year:
Bright Eyes - Four Winds
Decemberists - O Valencia!
Editors - An End Has A Start
Faker - This Heart Attack
Hard-Fi - Suburban Knights
Intercooler - All Coming Back To Me
Panics, The - Don't Fight It
Red Jezebel - More Than You'll Ever Know
Shins, The - Turn On Me
Sparkadia - Morning Light

This year was quite hard, a much better year for music than I had realised, here is the rest of my shortlist:
Bloc Party - Hunting For Witches
Cut Copy - Hearts On Fire
Cut Copy - So Haunted
Idlewild - No Emotion
Maximo Park - Our Velocity
Okkervil River - Our Life Is Not a Movie or Maybe remove
Old Man River - Summer
Panics, The - Creaks
Panics, The - Cruel Guards
Panics, The - Get Us Home
Shins, The - Phantom Limb
Spoon - The Underdog
Stars - Take Me To The Riot

Don't follow any of my votes if you are placing bets however, last year only 2 of my 10 came in, like most years I had a period of time where I was getting excited (The Guillemots have made the top 20) and then very excited (The Guillemots have made the top 5!) and then the cold hard fact that they had missed out... Previous years had seen me getting similarly over-optimistic about such gems as The Boat People - Unsettle My Heart and The Panics - How's It Feel (I still cannot comprehend how those two missed out in their respective years). This year I feel Red Jezebel may end up in this category, sad sad fact that it is.
I have Okkervil River - Our Life... above, this did not even make the list as I had to enter it in manually. Quite surprising as this was gold - unlikely to poll because of this and as a result I used that vote on my 11th choice, Intercooler - All Coming Back To Me, A worthy nomination.

Each year I get excited about this event only to be disappointed on the day, there was some prime junk this year of which I expect things like Ping Pong, Amy Winehouse, That disastrous remix of Listen Up! by Gossip (A song that was actually very good before the massacre), and a selection of dodgy rap songs to poll.

Finalised it with

Cold War Kids - Hang Me Up To Dry

Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger
Arctic Monkeys - Teddy Picker

Jamie T - Salvador

Kings Of Leon - My Party

I don't vote based on what could win

I don't think anyone does mate. The idea is to vote for your favourite songs. I think straight lines will win it, but i certainly didn't vote for it, nor would anyone else who didn't like it i'd imagine

Not having a go at your choices or anything, you can vote for whatever you like

Good on ya for taking the effort to post a full top 100
