[Sarah]

I'm really really really hoping that I don't have to work Aus day. I want to celebrate my 9 year TLEaversery at home, listening to the radio and having a few bevies and hoping for a top 10 for TLE ...like I do every hottest 100 day :)

[Over-Rated]

What is Hottest 100? Like a TV show? or something else?

My list:
TLE x 4
MCR x 4

..... yeah

[Neryssah]

It's like a "best of '06" countdown on Triple J, which is a radio station.

[Julia]

Bob Evans - Nowhere Without You
Dallas Crane - Lovers And Sinners
Grates - 19-20-20
Grates - Inside Outside
Grates - Lies Are Much More Fun
Grates - Science Is Golden

Yah... I didn't notice till I got the email that I'd voted for 4 Grates songs.. ah well, they're cool.

[Kev]

Something shit is most likely to get number 1.

Lily Allen FTW :mad:

[Neryssah]

Better than Wolfmother. Or... MCR. Or... Coldplay. Or... yeah, shit like that.

[Colezy]

I wonder if there will be an all Aussie top 10 this year? I think that last year had 5 or 7 Aussie acts in the top 10...or was that the year before?

[Neryssah]

Last year was all fucking Wolfmother. Spluh.

[Colezy]

Ahhh, thats right! Well, from memory, they've only got 2 songs to vote for this year... suckers! :p

[dropbearexpert]

I voted for:

Panic! At The Disco - The Only Difference...
Taking Back Sunday - Make Damn Sure
The Killers - Bling (Confession Of A King)

The Living End - Long Live The Weekend
The Living End - Nothing Lasts Forever

[Neryssah]

Ahhh, thats right! Well, from memory, they've only got 2 songs to vote for this year... suckers! :p

That's still two songs too many though! :p

[Liz]

My thoughts exactly. :p

[Disease]

I reckon Wake Up will go really well.

[The Dying Start]

It should do. The kids go nuts over it.

[Kristen]

Audioslave - Original Fire
Black Keys - Your Touch
Butterfingers - Like Em When They're Trouble
Cat Empire Project - Cities
Datsuns - System Overload
Freestylers/Pendulum - Painkiller
Hilltop Hoods - Clown Prince
Living End - Long Live The Weekend
Living End - 'Til The End
Living End - Wake Up


It was a lot easier than usual for me to choose my 10 this year. Usually I have a big shortlist that I have to change over and over until I'm happy with my final 10. I guess that means there wasn't much music I liked in '06.

[Erin]

Living End - Long Live The Weekend
Living End - Nothing Lasts Forever
Living End - 'Til The End
Living End - Wake Up
Datsuns - System Overload
Basement Jaxx - Hey U
Bob Evans - Nowhere Without You
Hilltop Hoods - What A Great Night!
Hot Chip - Over And Over
Bedroom Philosopher - Folkstar

[Julian]

I always find it interesting when people pick obscure tracks from a popular band that probably won't get in. I highly doubt Till The End will get in. I'm tipping for LLTW to be tle's highest.

[Caity]

Mine were a mix of TLE and Eskimo Joe with a few others chucked in.

[Rae]

[cammo]

Children Collide - We Are Amphibious


Fuck I love that song, bought the EP the other day, top stuff.

[Sarah]

Only like 6 hours left to vote guys!!!


Unfortunately for the first time in 9 years I have to work on Australia Day. Gah, work sucks. BUT i'll record the whole bloody thing and listen to it on my day off on Monday - the added bonus is i get to fast forward through the crappy songs!! I'll just have to avoid anyone or anything that might give away who was number 1 and where TLE came!!

[Caity]

I'm working ... 10 - 4 .... but I'll get the last bitty at the end when I get home I guess.

[Julian]

JJJ don't play Evermore. They stear clear of playing crap

[Julian]

So who's gonna win? Word around is Gnarls Barkely, I actually hope Crazy wins. Muse, Eskimo Joe, Tool and The Killers should be up there

[tainted_love]

How can Crazy by Gnarls Barkley not win? It was #1 song of 2006 in both American and Australian Rolling Stones, if that is any indication.

[cammo]

Yep, my moneys on that to win. Im thinking Augie March - One Crowded Hour, Hilltop Hoods - The Hard Road, Eskimo Joe - Black Fingernails Red Wine will round out a predominantly Aussie top 10

[Kev]

[State_Of_Emergency]

Kool, thanks for that :D

[Neryssah]

I've been pretty happy with it so far... not much I haven't liked.

I'm hoping One Crowded Hour gets number one.

And here's to the Hoods beating Wolfmother!

[Colezy]

And here's to the Hoods beating Wolfmother!

Amen to that sister!! :D

[Neryssah]

WOOHOO!

Well, here's to anyone beating them.

But I'd say they're the best bet :p

[Colezy]

Yeah, I'd say so too! How many have they got so far??
I haven't been able to listen to it all day.

[Neryssah]

Four I think?

[Colezy]

Now its 5!!! :D Number 3!

[Colezy]

AUGIE MARCH!!! Whooo! A decent song!! haha

[Colezy]

The Hoods got 5 in...but their 5 songs easily beat Wolfmother's 6! :p

[Erin]

they did it!! Augie march won!!

yeah i know, nicole bet me...:P

[Neryssah]

I'm hoping One Crowded Hour gets number one.


Orrright :D

The Hoods could have one song and still shit all over Wolfmother :p

[Colezy]

So true!! :p

Hahahhaa, some girl on myspace just said in a bulletin that the hottest 100 is rigged and that she has never heard One Crowded Hour on TV or Radio and that she would have bet her life on Eskimo Joe getting number one.

How could anyone who listens to the J's NOT have heard it?? Sheesh! :p

[Neryssah]

How could anyone who listens to the radio at all not have heard it?! :p

Love that song though. Awesome awesome band.

[dirty man]

go TLE with 1 in the list for the last 10 years!!!!!!!!!! *lets out fireworks*

[Julian]

Well the best song won

[Erin]

i'm glad augie march won ^_^ though i'm a bit sad their other songs didn't get in. same with TLE. but hey! i'm cool with it :cool:

[mel_bound]

SCOTTY'S INTERVIEW (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GVKHI8CO)

You're welcome!

[Kacky]

Thanks Mel! :D

[Julian]

The boys got a very tiny mention in the Advertiser today in a predominantley Hilltop Hoods article. Just said how it was tle's 10th year in a row and had a tiny pic

[Erin]

they were in the herald sun too

its going in my book ^_^

[Steph Format]

Hahahhaa, some girl on myspace just said in a bulletin that the hottest 100 is rigged and that she has never heard One Crowded Hour on TV or Radio and that she would have bet her life on Eskimo Joe getting number one.

I saw that bulletin too Colezy, I think that girl was 'aussie_legends' on the boards if I remember right.

it's ok that I'm happy Augie March topped that chart, right?

cause they're goooood.

[Colezy]

Ahhh, yes! I had a feeling that she was on here...heh, too bad if she reads my post. She'll get over it, I'm sure.

You have every right to be happy that they topped the chart! :D As you said: "they're gooooood"!! :p

[Steph Format]

they are!

I'm American and even I'm nerding out over the fact that they're ranked #1 on this chart.

and um, good job to the Living End too I guess.

[Erik]

wasn't this the 11th year TLE were on the the 100?

[Bec]

Nope, 10th.

[Disease]

It was a pretty damn poor showing though. Only one song, and not even in the top 50..

I was disappointed.

[MONDAY]

thanks for the interview mel!

[jessebelle]

What exactly was the 'hottest 100'?

[MONDAY]

What exactly was the 'hottest 100'?

the hottes 100 songs on jjj of the year voted by us! :D

[Liz]

What exactly was the 'hottest 100'?

:eek:

Don't you listen to Triple J Jess?

[Colezy]

Even if you dont listen to triple j...most people know about the hottest 100...even people outside of Aus do! :p

[Liz]

That's what I was thinking...
There's CDs and DVDs and everything.

[Julian]

The hottest 100 is the best songs of the year voted by the public. As opposed to Triple M's coldest 100 which is the best 100 songs of the 70's and 80's

[AlinaPOW]

Finally I get to find out what happened with the countdown and all I can say is... LAME. Only one song I voted for got into a countdown of 100. That being TLE obviously.

[Sarah]

Well that sucked hairy balls.

I've just finished listening to the whole thing, and I"m so glad I didn't take the day off work for that.

It's great that TLE got in again, but there was even more shite in this years countdown than ever before.

Meh, glad to see I haven't missed out on anything by not listening to the radio for the last 12 months.

Or maybe I'm just getting old - this was my 10th Hottest 100. Having said that TLE haven't gone the same way JJJ has thankfully! I can't believe it's been 9 years since I first heard The Living End :)

[mel_bound]

I definitely enjoyed last years more, and reading through the ones before then, they looked pretty damn good. Ahh well, congrats to TLE once again!

[Julian]

Some of the past years have been terrible. Last years was full of crap. I thought this year's was one of the best

[Marv From NZ]

Even if you dont listen to triple j...most people know about the hottest 100...even people outside of Aus do! :p

I don't.....

[Sariele]

Some of the past years have been terrible. Last years was full of crap. I thought this year's was one of the best

I agree. What's with all the Triple J hate these days anyway? It's all I get from people when I say it's what I listen to. I'm sick of it.

[Liz]

What's with all the Triple J hate these days anyway? It's all I get from people when I say it's what I listen to. I'm sick of it.

I dunno. Whenever me and friends talk about a song on Triple J or something, everyone laughs.
But then, a few months later, they hear it on a commercial station and like it.

[Aaron]

There are two main types of Triple J haters: Those who only listen to commercial radio and don't 'get' indie stuff, and those who are so indie that Triple J is too mainstream for them. The latter usually complains that Triple J has gone to shit, while the former complains that they haven't seen the song on Video Hits so it can't be good.

Oh, I suppose there are people who just don't like the music :p

[mel_bound]

Hahahaha. So true Aaron hehe. I don't care what station it's on, if there's a song on the radio I like I'll stop and listen. But I only very occasionally surf the radio waves.. CDs please!

[Julia]

Yah, radio is poopy, I can just choose my own music to listen and whack it in the CD player!

[Julian]

I like to broaden my taste every now and again and listen to music I wouldn't usually listen to

[Bec]

I agree with Julian. If I didn't listen to radio there'd be a heap of bands I don't know about. I love listening to my cds too but since I don't like downloading music illegaly, radio gives me the chance to listen to songs that I would like to listen to on cd but can't afford to buy yet.

[mel_bound]

Yes radio is good for that, but I just think there's too much I don't like compared to the stuff I do. That's strictly a personal thing but.. I get my 'new music' from Rage, every weekend I put it on and see if there's anything good. I know I miss alot of bands this way, but it'll do for now :)

[Erin]

i listen to pretty much every radio station, i don't like just listening to one sort of style. if i like a band i write their name and their song down...i swear i have like 100 different bands written all over the place, from school books to scraps of paper to mobile phone reminders :D

[Colezy]

I do that sometimes..and I do it for song names..or lyrics to songs if I dont know what its called or who sings it!

[Bec]

Haha that reminds me of all the people who ring up the radio saying: Yeah I want to hear a song, I dunno who it's by or what it's called but it sounds kinda like this *sings really badly and out of tune*

I think the best one I heard was some guy trying to sing Regina Spektor

[Neryssah]

Haha! I would have paid to hear that :p

[Bec]

if I'd known it would be on I would have recorded it and sold you a copy :p
He was doing that 'and it breaks my heaa-a-a-a-a-art bit'

so bad.

[Jodez]

Yes radio is good for that, but I just think there's too much I don't like compared to the stuff I do. That's strictly a personal thing but.. I get my 'new music' from Rage, every weekend I put it on and see if there's anything good. I know I miss alot of bands this way, but it'll do for now :)

Did you happen to catch Tylers Riot?? I heard their song 4 hours....They sound pretty alright.

[AlinaPOW]

I have not listened to any radio or watched rage or anything along those lines since year 7 and I haven't found that I'm missing out at all.

[Aaron]

Haha, well obviously you won't know what it is you're missing out on.

[AlinaPOW]

Yeah but street presses are generally good for updating on all the good shizz, without all the crap.

[Neryssah]

if I'd known it would be on I would have recorded it and sold you a copy :p
He was doing that 'and it breaks my heaa-a-a-a-a-art bit'

so bad.

HAHAHAHA! Oh man. That would have been awesome to hear :D

[Bec]

Yeah but street presses are generally good for updating on all the good shizz, without all the crap.

But how do you know what the bands sound like?
