I find it realy hard to pick top individual songs, it should be top albums.

10:18am 02/06/09 Permalink
Yeah, this is going to be really tough. Only song I know for sure off-the-cuff is Radiohead - Paranoid Android

Love will tear us apart? As the BEST song of all time? Really? apparently me and the rest of australia agree that you are wrong i think its already been no1 hottest 100 a few years in a row |
10:39am 02/06/09 Permalink
I've never heard that song before, so I youtubed it.
Is someone taking the piss? That song sucks, in every single way it's possible to suck. wtf |
10:43am 02/06/09 Permalink
Why don't they just put together the #1 song from each year's hottest 100?

Yeah I dont get the Joy division song, I mean its not a terrible song, but best all time song, Realy??

haha love will tear us apart, what a joke i like how they had to change the rules to stop it winning all the time: Hottest 100 top fives and summaries |
11:03am 02/06/09 Permalink
Yeah, but I think the new rules are better. Promotes circulation of music and growth for new artists.
As for Love will tear us apart - great song, but wouldn't get my No. 1 vote. Hmm, think I might put Leonhard Cohen in somewhere. Still working on mine. |

The Prodigy - Breathe 8. Massive Attack - Angel 9. Beastie Boys - Sabotage 10. The Chemical Brothers - Setting Sun |

f*** this is impossible
my list would include fleetwood mac aussie crawl inxs ratm daft punk metallica oasis something like that i dont see how u can pick a band that has even been created in the last 10 years because all the other older bands that still receive so much praise for songs would surely rape them - they have another whole generation or 2 voting for them |
03:00pm 02/06/09 Permalink
The Beatles - Hey Jude
Simon & Garfunkel - America Muse - Knights of Cydonia Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb Elliott Smith - Miss Misery Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven Oasis - Don't Look Back In Anger Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees Silverchair - Tomorrow Had to basically pick some landmark songs in the various genres, otherwise there would just be 5 Beatles songs, 3 Simon and Garfunkel and 2 Muse songs. Didn't have room for Chuck Berry, Crowded House, The Shins, Rush, RATM, the list goes on... |

Love Will Tear Us Apart was huge not just because of the song itself, but the background story. If you want to get a grasp of the whole thing, go see 'Control' or even '24 Hour Party People'. Basically the lead singer - Ian Curtis - killed himself on the eve of the band doing their first US tour, and maybe the album release (not sure). He was seen as a bit of a poet figure in the 80s, and I guess this was all still relatively fresh when Love Will Tear Us Apart came out, and was subsequently voted as number 1.

1 - Metallica - Nothing Else Matters
2 - Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb 3 - Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody 4 - Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven 5 - The Eagles - Hotel California 6 - Disturbed - Prayer 7 - Cold Chisel - Khe Sahn 8 - The Doors - Riders on the Storm 9 - Live - Lightning Crashes 10 - Pearl Jam - Alive I still have the 1998 (or maybe 97) hottest 100 of all time on vhs, when it was simulcast on rage over two nights. Damned good and introduced me to a bunch of awesome songs I'd never heard of. I think Smells like Teen spirit won it that year. Metallica had two songs in the top 20, one and enter sandman. Pearl Jam had Black and alive in the top 20. |
07:54pm 03/06/09 Permalink
I don't recall of the top 10 from their last Hottest 100 of All Time, but I remember that Smells Like Teen Spirit was #1, there was a Hunters&Collector's song at #2, Pearl Jam's Alive was #3, #5 and #7 (I forget the order) was I think Bohemian Rhapsody and Stairway to Heaven and #10 was Pearl Jam's Black.

All I know is #1 is Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody I was gonna say exactly the same thing, I though the elite QGL people would rubbish the song though, but I reckon its an epic song, its got everything, its got one of the best guitar riffs ever in it. Also pearl jam - Black, definatly top 10, along with radiohead - paranoid android. |
07:38pm 04/06/09 Permalink
NUMBER 1 - CAKE - The Distance
The Offspring - Gone Away Muse - Knights Of Cydonia Rage Against the Machine - Killing In The Name Radiohead - Karma Police Depeche Mode - It's No Good Roy Orbison - You Got It R.E.M. - Drive Creedence Clearwater Revival - Fortunate Son DIDNT really stress too hard about these votes, i figure some nerd group or forum like 4chan is going to use its numbers to vote something like rick astley to no.1 |
07:19pm 05/06/09 Permalink
Albums would have been a lot more interesting I think. The only song I'd have in my top 10 that would also have been on an album in my top 10 would be Radiohead - Paranoid Android.

List so far: 91-100
List so far: 81-90 Discuss. Glad 'Common People' made it in. There are some really strange ones in that lot for me though. Unfinished Sympathy by Massive Attack?? - wouldn't have made it into my list. It's a good song, but not 100 of all time. None of my songs in 81-100. |
07:00pm 07/07/09 Permalink
None of my songs in the 81-100. I did forget how awesome Unfinished Sympathy is tho. Good to see Common People and Bulls on parade in there tho.

07:59pm 07/07/09 Permalink
STOP! It's Hammer Time!
You underestimate the power of the voting demographics! Anyway, Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody: Better be close to the top 10 or 20. Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart: That will be in there somewhere. Massive Attack - Teardrop I expect this around the 50ish mark. I wonder if any songs by The Cure or The Doors will get in? |

Glad Paranoid Android and Hallelujah were up there. I'm with Damo on the Joy Division song. It's a good song, but not worthy of all the credit it seems to get.
Well, my list didn't do too well all in all.
Three songs, one at number 35 and two in the top 5. |

I'm surprised how little I identify with the last. I have probably been listening to triplej for about 13-14 years at a guess. I never would have considered voting for Johnny Cash, The Beatles, stuff like that, because I just don't feel that kind of music represents my generation. But I know plenty of 40-50+ year olds that are regular J's listeners. There must be more of them than you think.

reckon:
still cant believe joy division wasnt no1 this list is obviously rorted |
09:48am 13/07/09 Permalink
it's not surprising the list won't fully please anyone due to the wider range available to vote for. yas have gotta realise that other people have different taste in music... kinda my point in asking what's the point of a hot100 of all time :/ so everyone can have a spew about music they don't like being in the same list as music they do like? ;p
still cant believe joy division wasnt no1 so you're saying the no.1 track of all time should be a guitar heavy rock song? ;D last edited by demon at 09:50:17 13/Jul/09 |
