Best Hottest 100

[Misanthrope]

I'm not referring to the CDs in particular, but having listened to the 97 Hottest 100 all day it got me wondering which does LU think was the best of the Hottest 100s from top to bottom?

1993

1993

The early/mid 1990s Hottest 100s were the best.

In latter years, it appeared that Triple J listeners got soft. FMD the likes of Augie March, Mumford & Sons, Jet and Alex Lloyd as Number Ones.

f**k off!!

JJJ audience is just regular kids so whatever is popular with them will finish 1. Thats why it just follows trends. Probably be that diabolical thrift store song this time around.

.....without a clue. I watched parts of Rage's Best Music Videos for 2012 the other week and almost vomited when that f**king Gangnam Style was voted Number One.

f**k off!!!!!! x 1000

I do love the 1996 and 1997 count-downs, but that likely has a lot to do with the fact that those years represent the seventh and eighth grade for me and the first time I'd really listened to music that wasn't in my Dad's cassette player in the car :lol:

1989-1991 were the best.

1994 was good too.

I don't listen to JJJ much anymore tbh it's turned to shit. Everything is some indie shit that's on now

 

[Flapper]

2000 was probably my favourite. But yeah JJJ are pathetic, they spend all their time bagging Nova and that and its almost a.certainty that "Thrift Shop" will be #1. You can't have it both ways.

 

[veggiepatch1959]

The way things are going wih providers of "alternative music" (JJJ in particular) turning to shit, can we expect the BDO having Susan Boyle and Michael Buble as headliners in the near future? :roll:

I cant listen to triple J, but f**k I love unearthed. Every few weeks ill spend an hour or so on the site ripping as many songs from bands i havent heard of as possible.

After giving them all a listen ill always find atleast 2-3 bands who are f**king amazing that id never hear elsewhere. Not surprisingly only one of those bands is from Sydney, so i cant even go out and support 95% of them.

Got the first eight Unearthed....good stuff.

Wasn't Grinspoon on Unearthed Vol. 1? After many years of good hard Aussie rock, they went soft as well.

The clearly best hottest 100s was the one that came out when I was <number between 16-20> years old

This is due to music in this period being better, and has nothing to do with personal taste or nostalgia

/every person ever

 

[Big Pete]

:lol: Well summed up Danish.

I'll go with the list that had Powderfinger on it.

:lol: Basically my reasoning in selecting 1996-97. There have been years since that I've enjoyed more music from, but those have typically been internet years - where I was listening to music from all over the shop.

You got old. I'm sure those voting for mumford and sons, will say the same in 15 years time :lol:

To be honest, every hottest 100 has it's fair share of decent to terrible music. I much prefer the like a version CD's every year.

They are probably the years that get the most play on my ipod too, for the reasoning I said above.

Funnily enough it tapers off in the mid-2000s, but now the last 2 years get a lot of play as I enter my "OH f**k I'M ALMOST 30" crisis years and try to compensate by keeping up with what the hip kids are listening too :lol:

1996

I'm not that big on "buy me a pony" but a lot of great memories from that list.

I like to think I've managed to keep up relatively well due to having younger siblings (youngest is 13), but there are definitely ones I don't 'get'. Skrillex and dubstep, for example.

Agreed...time for Pendulum to get Number One for this year's Hottest 100.

Centipede.

Now I'm old.....LOL.
