Triple J's Hottest 100 of All Time results
Quick runover for the non-Aussies who aren't familiar with this poll - Every year, semi-alternate radio station Triple J runs a poll called the Hottest 100. It usually takes an annual format but occasionally they do an 'of All Time' one. It is officially the most voted for music poll in the world since its creation in the late 1980s.
I'd been hoping they'd do an 'of All Time' one since the one they did in 1998. Because that was a good list. However, I think this one may be better. 100. Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out 99. Wolf Like Me - TV On The Radio 98. Led Zeppelin - Kashmir 97. Midnight Oil - Beds Are Burning 96. Daft Punk - One More Time 95. Stevie Wonder - Superstition 94. Modest Mouse - Float On 93. Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy 92. Bon Iver - Skinny Love 91. AC/DC - Back In Black 90. Kings of Leon - Sex On Fire 89. Rage Against The Machine - Bulls On Parade 88. The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter 87. Coldplay - Yellow 86. The Beatles - Come Together 85. The Dandy Warhols - Bohemian Like You 84. Bob Marley & The Wailers - No Woman No Cry 83. Placebo - Every You, Every Me 82. System Of A Down - Chop Suey 81. Pulp - Common People 80. The Rolling Stones - Paint It Black 79. David Bowie - Life on Mars 78. Smashing Pumpkins - Today 77. Gotye - Heart's A Mess 76. The Stone Roses - Fools Gold 75. Green Day - Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) 74. Nirvana - Lithium 73. The Clash - London Calling 72. The Shins - New Slang 71.

Violent Femmes - Blister in the Sun 63. AC/DC - Thunderstruck 62. Nine Inch Nails - Closer 61. Blur - Song 2 60. Johnny Cash - Hurt 59. Augie March - One Crowded Hour 58. Daft Punk - Around The World 57. Tool - Forty Six & 2 56. Jeff Buckley - Lover, You Should Have Come Over 55. Bob Dylan - Like A Rolling Stone 54. The Cure - Close To Me 53. Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb 52. You Am I - Berlin Chair 51. Smashing Pumpkins - Bullet With Butterfly Wings 50. Crowded House - Don't Dream It's Over 49. Guns 'N Roses - Sweet Child O' Mine 48. Beastie Boys - Sabotage 47. John Butler Trio - Betterman 46. Faith No More - Epic 45. Queens of the Stone Age - No One Knows 44. The Beatles - Hey Jude 43. The Beach Boys - God Only Knows 42. Bloc Party - Banquet 41. Michael Jackson - Billie Jean 40. Nirvana - Come As You Are 39. Pearl Jam - Better Man 38. The Killers - Mr Brightside 37. Tool - Stinkfist 36. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Into My Arms 35. Smashing Pumpkins - 1979 34. The Living End - Prisoner Of Society 33. Silverchair - Tomorrow 32. New Order - Blue Monday 31. Metallica - Enter Sandman 30. Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower 29. Pixies - Where Is My Mind? 28. Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees 27. Powderfinger - My Happiness 26. Michael Jackson - Thriller 25. Pearl Jam - Alive 24. The Beatles - A Day in the Life 23. Hunters & Collectors - Throw Your Arms Around Me 22. Massive Attack - Teardrop 21. Powderfinger - These Days 20. White Stripes - Seven Nation Army 19. Metallica - One 18. Muse - Knights Of Cydonia 17. Hilltop Hoods - The Nosebleed Section 16. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here 15. Radiohead - Karma Police 14. The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony 13. Radiohead - Creep 12. Oasis - Wonderwall 11. John Lennon - Imagine 10. Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven 9. Foo Fighters - Everlong 8. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under The Bridge 7.

Rage Against the Machine - Killing In The Name 1. Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit You may have a few quibbles with it, I guess I have a few. But damn, that is a bloody good list. Stoked to see Radiohead's value has increased over time and the The Verve got in as high as #14. Lot more Aussie representation this time too. I guess #1 was obvious, but it's still as worthy as ever.

I'm just thrilled to see some Jeff Buckley on the list. One of the best lyricist and voices of all time in my opinion. Overall a very good list, although if I ever made a list such as this I'd include stuff like Coutning Crows (my favorite Band), Steve Miller Band, Devin Townsend, The Streets, Alexisonfire, and Keller Williams.

I semi-followed this as the list was coming out, tuning into the radio in the hours they were releasing it when I got the opportunity. As a massive Radiohead fan, I was getting a little worried when they got to about 30 and still hadn't played any Radiohead songs, but I still made the call to my skeptical friend that there'd be a slew of Radiohead songs in the top 30. Fortunately I was right. I thought "Paranoid Android" might go at #2, but #5 is still pretty good.
I called "Smells Like Teen Spirit" for #1. IIRC, it got #1 in the countdown ten years ago, and I don't think there's been quite an iconic alternative song since. There's been a bit of controversy about the list in the Australian media because there are no female artists on it. There's a couple of female guest vocalists, I think, but none of the bands have "permanent" female members, and there are no female solo artists, like Bjork, who was seen as a possibility. @Bolton: Prince isn't really popular among Triple J's demographic. In fact, there were some who were a little surprised of Michael Jackson's prominence on the list, suggesting that the fact that the voting coincided with his death helped his performance on the list. Although "Thriller" and "Billy Jean" probably do deserve to be there, IMO.

But yeah, I do believe the reason Jacko's stuff got as high as it did was because he died. The man is a fantastic musician, but Triple J is more rock/punk/alternative then pop. Quote:
