It will be an interesting comparison of results from the three count downs that I know of this year, being the commercial MMM , the ABC 'a Triple J a and the original Hot 100 found on the community funded ZZZ.

[Eevo]

i vote it be moved back to australia day

[weeds]

i vote it be moved back to australia day

Did you fill out the survey?, than the follow up one?? Do you vote every year or just listen?? Most people I talk to only answer yes to the last question

Either way MMM have taken over on the 26th....for those that want to listen to music from 20 years ago all good....I’ll still tune into JJJ on the 26th or play my own hottest 100.

[Homestar]

Better pull my finger out and narrow my list down - think it will have 1 or 2 from your list Weeds. [emoji106]

My list is pretty lame, it just what come to my mind.

I should have had a King Gizzard, a Dune Rats, maybe another Gang of Youths, Million Man I’m getting used as I’ve voted for the rubens in other years in there......

Next year I’m on a mission to expand to raw New Aussie talent, problem is I don’t have a music bone in the body.

In all honesty, I have kinda lost some enthusiasm for the hottest 100 in recent years - starting to feel a bit like Grandpa Simpson myself. Used to listen to the 100 in the 90's and early 2000's and nearly every song was a winner to me. Now Im lucky to hear maybe 5 songs in the list that grab me. Im still stuck in the 90's rock/grunge timeline [biggrin]

[123rover50]

Nor I.

My tapes are Kenny Rogers, Abba, John Williamson, Marty Robbins etc etc.

[Homestar]

Gone through my list a third time - down to 19....

Going to be very tough from here...

[Homestar]

Had to flip a coin when I got down to 14 so culled a few off pretty quick.

My list ended up as.....

Woohoo....

[ramblingboy42]

yeah , I'm kinda with you , Shanegtr , I think the jjj dj's at the time heavily influence airplay , but I don't listen to any other radio station other than aunty.

I feel the same has happened to Eurovision song contest.

I used to tune in to that too long ago on short wave radio before it was ever transmitted to Australia.

as usual anything good that the ABC produces is overtaken and destroyed, glad that triple j can hold its head above that.

Australian Music......We love it!

What!! No Bing Crosby?

When someone comes up with something this good then I'll consider voting for it.

Then I suppose I can't say its a midlife crisis then.[thumbsupbig]

[trog]

Young pup ! Got a few more years behind me than that but still love to go out and see a band ply their trade , be it rock , punk rockabilly etc. I f you can't show appreciation to the performance it is not much better than something generated on a computer.

[weeds]

I’m going to my first multi day festival in Feb...at 46YO. Even Camping at the festivals

Funny how sometimes I think I’m the only person over 30 listening to the j’s. I’m very similar age to you - 1970 Vintage. Been listening to JJJ since Razor and Robins and then Maynard in the morning followed by Angela Curtains (pronounced Cur-tanes but Maynard called her Angular Curtains) 😊

For those stuck in a time warp, expand your horizons and listen to some new Indy music. I still love listening to Classical music, other things like Jazz, Frank Sinatra and all sorts of stuff but I give modern music a go too. Some of its crap, but there’s some gems in there. Do yourself a favour and stop being such a stick in the mud - you might be surprised.

[trog]

That's why I gave the jays away once I found community radio here, always dialed into college radio before moving here.

[V8Ian]

Sorry Gav, there's only one artist that I'm aware of, who has released anything decent this year.
Ed Sheeran - Galway Girl [Official Video] - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87gWaABqGYs)

[trog]

Ian give The Steady As She Goes a try . Nice sludgy blues

Deano I can just see you driving in the OKA through the desert upsetting the wildlife and serenity with your window open and that blaring into the distance. Shame on you.[bigrolf]:bat:

[Homestar]

So who's listening? How many have you picked so far?

Got to say it's been a bloody good countdown so far, really enjoying it. Got 4of my top 10 played so far with 1 at least to go I think.

Thanks to Grey Ghost who let me play the first half at his place - I'm sure he's never heard any of the songs. 😁

Back at home with a few beers now, music cranked up, SWMBO elsewhere for the weekend - very happy. 👍

[trog]

Have the songs been listed ? I would like to compare with another radio countdown.

Down to 15 as I write this - full list of what's played so far is down the bottom - Home | Hottest 100 2017 | triple j (http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/hottest100/17/)

[trog]

Thanks , had a look through, not too many acts I have heard of or seen. Hope you enjoy the rest !

[Homestar]

I'm not even close to JJJ's demographic - my kids are closer at 20 and 22 but I've been listening to the J's since I was in High School and still love the new music they play. I am less keen on the Teeny Bopper commersial stuff to say the least.

My musical tastes range from Classical, to Jass, modern Indy like what they play on JJJ, Hip Hop, Dub Step, Electronic Dance, etc. Only crap I won't listen to at all is Country and Western - that stuff just makes me want to puke... 😁

[trog]

Well done though I don't agree . Taste is individual. If we all agreed life would be boringly stupefying. Me I go from some classical , psych , punk alt country and Barry adamson if I want jazz.

You did well, I got 5. See if any of the ones I missed turn up today in the 200. 👍

Good 100 though, really enjoyed it (apart from number 1)

[rick130]

Heard about ten in the car (mid eighties through mid seventies) and promptly forgot to stream it when I got home.
It would've made assembling furniture more tolerable!

[loanrangie]

Cant stand the number one pick, hate that kind of crap. Happy with the other top 10 though.
I refused to listen to it live since they moved the date.

[weeds]

Yeah wasn’t a fan of No. 1

Re: date, it’s not the first time it’s been changed and won’t the the last.

It worked fine for us as we had a 17th and 18th Birthday party’s at our house on Saturday.
