Hottest 100

How is this even a thread ? Actually how is the Hottest 100 even still a thing ?

It has been scientifically proven that 1994 was the Hottest Hottest 100 and there was no point after that.

Certainly surprised that no John Denver gets a mention

Ocean Alley!??!
look, don't get me wrong
I like short shorts just like the next man, but what a shit song...feels like its stuck in first gear without the any means to shift into 2nd
the clip is ok, but the track wants me to sit in a dark room cutting myself.

Saw Bug Powder Dust live at Glastonbury 1999. Epic.

1998 hottest 100 is indicating good music and shit music was popular 20 years ago.

when i lived in Canberra, never missed a gig from Tumbleweed..saw them last year at 'Day on the Green' in the hunter valley (the name was a little ironic, considering the lineup)..brought back so many good feelings
Music is dead!

ah stuff it, here's some more

Yes its been flogged, still great IMO

And hiding behind it is this gem.

and hiding behind another flogged song is this glorious riff

My personal guilt song ( its a bit poppy), the tail out is tops I reckon

Finally,

Can't believe nobody highlighted #21 yet. That list is pretty "Seattle" heavy and there was a surprising amount of commercially popular songs in there.


Also because @steve jobs' pancreas hasn't posted it yet:

Triple J started to roll out to country areas in the mid 90’s. A lot of these areas would have previously only had one extremely conservative AM station as a source of music (plus Rage on the weekends). I reckon this would’ve added to the mainstream content of the hot 100. On the plus side the Js have also introduced these listeners to a much wider variety of music which can only be a good thing for Australia as a whole.

1996 Spiderbait Buy Me a Pony, now that was a number 1

Because we cocked it up royally in '98 first time around Double J are giving us all a chance to make it right.

It’s time to revote for the 1998 Hottest 100 - Double J

Do you think we got it right 20 years ago? Here's a chance to have your say again...

Yeah, I was in high school in Tasmania when it rolled out in around 96 or something. I remember there was outrage from the parents at my school (Tas was so conservative back then, homosexuality was still illegal and things like pay TV were being picketed against), but that only drove us to listen to it more. I remember JJJ used to have pretty explicit talk balk on sexuality and other themes noone else was talking about - and it exposed us to so much new music in the age of the cassette.

I haven't listened to JJJ in years now (locked on to Radio National haha)- but I think it provides a highly important service for the young peoples.

If it's any consolation, I'm sure he regrets that night as well.

Was Bernard Fanning suicidal?

Triple J did a segment on sex some years back. I was at the dentist, lying in the chair waiting for the "oh oh that's not good" when C is for clitoris was announced. The dental nurse was well over 60 and started complaining about her lovers not knowing anything past B is for blowjob. Very hard to have a dental check up when you and the dentist are pissing themselves laughing.

No.1 has to be "Mum changed the locks" by Frenzal Rhomb.

And has Pauline really been around for this long now, crimeny.

Sadder, slower and much less rock: The changing sound of the Hottest 100

The most popular music on triple j is getting slower, more negative, and the alternative rock which dominated the 90s is all but gone, an analysis of 25 years of data reveals.
