Triple J Hottest 100 of all time...

...because you know you're all interested ;p I'm going to list 100-21 first, with comments on some of the songs (particularly on the songs that invoked a WTF reaction), followed by what I speculated would make the top 20, which will be followed by the actual top 20 (because I guessed 75% of them - clearly I am a music geek, if the fact that I'm ( Read more... )

Oh, Joy Division>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Nirvana, really. I never got into grunge that much. But there are some interesting and WTFy choices there, generally. (Am I also the only person to prefer the original Leonard Cohen Hallelujahs? This is probably because he's one of the few artists of that singer-songwriter type that I can actually stand....) AND MOTHERFUCKING HELL YEAH FOR KNIGHTS OF CYDONIA.

Well, you know my opinion on the matter: Joy Division pwns everything, not just Nirvana.

This country seems to have a collective hard-on for Jeff Buckley (and, as you can tell by looking at the list, skinny white males who wail and/or yell about their epic manpain), so if there was going to be a version of Hallelujah on the list, it was always going to be his. And I thought you'd like the Muse inclusion ;)

Sorry I wasn't on IM last night. Shortly after I posted this my computer had a breakdown of epic proportions, and I had to reboot the twat. I'm more than willing to be dragged over there now, if you're on. In fact, I don't even think there would be all that much dragging involved.

*facenoms* I'd love to come on IM, but I'm super-knackered at the moment (just about to crash) and have pushed my sleeping rhythm forwards again, so I don't know when I'll be up properly for blatherings and Seadevilings. WAH. But *smooch*. Shall try and make noises when I'm up and so on.
