Trophy Eyes at the cambridge was insane
Finally, an example of a young local band. Well done Stanny.
We need more of them.
it really is worth looking back at the Hottest 100 from many years ago (especially for cunce as old as me who can remember them back to when you used to have to post them in) and comparing the winning songs from back then to the winners from today
some absolute garbage has won the thing, especially back in the days that old cunce talk about as 'when it was good'
sanctimonious old farts my age acting like it's gone commercial and popular - it always bloody well was
crap like Arsehole by Dennis Leary, Zombie by the Cranberries, No Aphrodisiac by The Whitlams, ****ing Offspring have all come in No.1 for fuxake
commercial shit like Blind Melon, U2, Pearl Jam, Coolio, Everclear, Blink 182, Marilyn Manson, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Coldplay, Foo Fighters all made the top ten over those years
All I see is you naming alot of good artists not sure what the problem is
exactly
Complaining about the Hottest 100 winners just means you don't like popular music. It's a democracy, not a peer review. I very much dislike Ocean Alley, but they are the 2nd most played band on JJJ this year. Can't really complain with the result, it was the clear favourite.
End of the day just turn off the radio put on spotify or ya phone and listen to your own music
Pretentious 100 is ok. Cant please everyone all the time.
ABC use it as a political stage to recruit young outraged lefties cry to over the latest facebook problems
Or it's just a music poll? Actually, yes. It is just a music poll.
Two types of listeners. Those who listen to albums, those who listen to singles.
I'm in the album camp.
Most people are in the singles camp - and it's been that way for as long as I can remember.
Some people do both depending on how much they are into an Artist
Only reason to get a single is for the B-side, otherwise an album should be listened to from the start to finish, no shuffle.
Green Day - Good Riddance [Time of your Life] was originally released in 1994 as the B-side to Brain Stew.
Unfortunately they did a McCartney / Spector [Long and Winding Road] on the original version and ****ed it up with strings and other bullshit it didn't need in 1997
I listened to the song that won hottest 100.
I'd never heard the song or the artist before.
I didnt like the song.
Is there something else to the artist that made this song popular?
Because for a one off song it doesn't exactly hit you with 'smells like reen spirit' type of emotions.
Apparently that artist is the second most played one of 2018 on JJJ
actually looking back over the last 20 years of winners i can see in most cases why a particular song won.even if i didnt dig it personally, you could always see why people thought it was a good song.
It either had huge hooks like Muse, Franz Ferdinand or QOTA (yes, and even Jet).
or they were classic drunken singalong songs (Zombie, Wonderwall, Amazing, One crowded hour)
or it was during Powderfingers run of writing single after single that were so radio friendly you couldnt not get involved.
id contend that its only really fallen apart in the last few years, like the Rubens, Kendrick Lamar and Chet Faker, These were all pretty lame songs, but (esp in Kendricks case) it was to make up for previous snubs.
Hottest 100 is fast becoming like the Oscars, where as people are more concerned about voting for the 'right' song vs voting for the song they like the most. You only have to see by everyone rushing to post their votes on social media. in the old days no one knew you voted for Offspring, and today even if you thought it was the dopest song ever written, you are now scared of peoples reactions if you vote for it.
im convinced this is how Tame Impala became popular. Because their music is garbage, but man oh man ive never heard from anyone hating on them in public.

but isnt it nowadays a self fulfilling prophecy?
Triple J says its cool, fans then want to look cool, so yell really loudly "yes i think its cool too" then Triple J hears the fans saying its cool, so then they play it to keep the fans happy.
They are very good musicians with a great vocalist. Try this one Plague.
Problem majority of hottest 100 people havent been exposed to music that isnt normally found on Australian Radio. So they cant vote for what they haven't heard which is often in my bias opinion better then alot of the stuff that got in the top 100
