248 replies, posted
[QUOTE]Drumroll, please! After an epic weekend strolling down memory lane, indie tastemakers triple j have finally revealed their number 1 pick of tunes from the last 20 years and taking out the top honour is the rather controversial choice of Oasis‘ 1995 classic Wonderwall.
The countdown has been rolling all weekend, with 50 songs revealed per day, in celebration of 20 years of tasty Hottest 100 action. Lots of old favourites safely took their place in the list, like Foo Fighters at number 6 with Everlong and The White Stripes in number 2 position with Seven Nation Army but Oasis couldn’t be stopped, with the Britpop staples claiming the number 1 spot.[/QUOTE]

Mr. Brightside deserved to be that high up.
Nice to see seven nation army being that high up, one of my favourite songs.
The fuck, it beat The White Stripes, The Verve AND Radiohead? What are these guys smoking?!
I think The Verve should be higher. or Wolf Like Me was decent as well.
Jesus. Oasis fucking sucks. Luckily these polls don't mean a damned thing.
Oasis was called the next Beatles at one point if I remember.
this is the worst top music list I have ever seen
I fucking hate Wonderwall...
If a Buckley song is there it should've been grace imo
[video=youtube;nxqEIVoHtuU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxqEIVoHtuU[/video]
Knights of Cydonia/Paranoid Android/Harder Better Faster Stronger should be higher. Gotye should not be on that list. Neither should Lana Del Ray.

Smells Like Teen Spirit should be #1. There are much better Nirvana songs but that's the one that everyone knows and would be most likely to win.
You guys know it's a publicly voted poll? The Triple J guys themselves didn't just pick the songs.
I'm actually pretty happy with this list, especially considering the last Hottest 100 had Thrift Shop as number 1.
[QUOTE=Daniel M;40957408] Gotye should not be on that list.[/QUOTE]
Have you actually listened to Heart's a Mess? That song is the only time I would use the word "feels" unironically. And Somebody That I Used to Know is great song even if it's overplayed.
[QUOTE=Daniel M;40957408][B]Smells Like Teen Spirit should be #1.[/B][/QUOTE]
[SUP]That was from 22 years ago...[/SUP]
You know what's worse than Wonderwall being #1?
[quote]4: Hilltop Hoods – The Nosebleed Section (2003)[/quote]
This song is awful, shouldn't even be in the top 100 let alone the fourth
Does anyone outside Australia even know who these people are? rofl
[QUOTE=Kinversulath;40957423][SUP]That was from 22 years ago...[/SUP][/QUOTE]
Oh shit I forgot that wasn't on In Utero
I don't even know who Powderfinger is and they're on there twice.
[QUOTE=Gar~;40957425]

It's an Australian Poll?
Also where the fuck is Bloodhound Gang? They've released plenty of great hits the past 20 years
I'm surprised Gnarles Barkley's Crazy didn't even place on the list. I wonder how much of an impact that song had outside of the United States, because the Rolling Stones once did a top 100 songs of all time list and that was the only song from the last decade to even place on the list.
But yeah, this list is all over the place, with a lot of stuff I like showing up generally where I'd expect it to be and a whole bunch of stuff I've never heard or don't like showing up where I'd least expect it. I really dislike Wonderwall, too.
[QUOTE=-Rusty-;40957438]I don't even know who Powderfinger is and they're on there twice.[/QUOTE]
Australian rock band, Triple J is an Australian radio station, which is why so many people disagree with the list :v:
I disagree with the song choice on this list let me show you how it should've been based on my own personal tastE!
Congrats guys, you're managing to be even more elitist and picky about music than the typical hipsters who listen to Triple J.
[QUOTE=Sega Saturn;40957448]I'm surprised Gnarles Barkley's Crazy didn't even place on the list. I wonder how much of an impact that song had outside of the United States[/QUOTE]
It was played on the radio for at least a good year here, I'm not over exaggerating

Don't give me that "opinions are subjective" bullshit. The Oasis fandom is the most annoying thing in the music scene. Go look at NME. There is no way this was won legitimately.
Oasis fucking sucks. Liam Gallagher has the most annoying nasally voice ever and Noel Gallagher is a cunt. Deal with it.
Oasis are so overrated, it's a shame really, some of those bands deserved to be higher on that list, thank God it means jack shit.

"woo i listen to triple J and atlas genius are the best band in the world and also anything else that comes out of australia or has a member that has something to do with australia like rhcp is automatically the best band too"
[QUOTE=Gar~;40957446]Also where the fuck is Bloodhound Gang? They've released plenty of great hits the past 20 years[/QUOTE]
Mope and Bad Touch deserve the list. I mean Mope is a homage to the 90s in general.

Also look out for Tyrion Lannister

[QUOTE=Winner;40957488]What the hemorrhaging fuck do you think "subjective" means?[/QUOTE]
I don't give a shit what subjective means. Wonderwall is shit. Oasis is shit. The Gallagher brothers are complete cunts. The only reason they won is because the small fandom that still exists voted and voted and voted and voted and voted.
Musicians don't have any songs past their singles I guess.
Also obligatory comment on Oasis sucking and pretty much releasing the same song over and over.

You know it's a number one if METALLICA does a 1:1 cover of it.
