Triple J's Hottest 100 of all time

Anyone else listening? Predictions on the No.1 spot?

I'm thinking Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah may take the spot or atleast get close but other then that, Radiohead - Creep?

I'd say Smells Like Teen Spirit too. No Radiohead so far though - Paranoid Android or Creep are both contenders there. A little disappointed with the Tool and Pumpkins placings so far. Time is running out for Primus too. :D

I hope it's not Smells like teen spirit... It's a great song, but no where near the greatest song of all time...

I think Muse is going to be up there considering its Triple J :P

Well, it's not really about the "greatest song" of all time, rather the most popular with this particular audience.

"Time" is one of my favourite songs of all time... maybe top 20?

Radiohead finally sneak in. Going to be at least a couple more from them. No Soundgarden? I do not doubt the resolve of Metallica fans either and expect One to be right up there.

I think Black Hole Sun in the top ten, but I guess that will be it?

Most over rated song of all time in my opinion... I find it damn boring and don't see the appeal.

I hope Offspring - Come out and play or Self Esteem is up there.

I dont think it's worthy of a top10 spot... But I do love the song. From the breath he takes at the start to the end, it's a fantastic peice of music. One of the only songs I prefer the cover over the original.

i cant see how its a fantastic piece of music... if anything, its lyrically good... still, not my thing lyrically or otherwise. Didn't Leonard Cohen write it? cant stand that guy, i dont know why anyone would like it. But then, the spice girls out sold the beatles.... people are morons.

Even though i think Metallica are dicks, hope Enter Sandman is up there.. and a good dose of acca dacca. Faith No More - Epic, and a previous JJJ 100 winner Evidence both deserve a spot too.

I should do a Dexter's Top 100, mine would kick arse :D

Enter Sandman has already been in. One has just popped up at 19 - expected slightly better. Epic has already been in too - in the 40s.

Yeah, it doesn't really have that epic track thing but i'll have to admit, I really don't like hip hop but that's one song I don't mind.

Karma Police no surprise. Paranoid Android and Creep still to come?

Glad Wish You Were Here got in. Although much prefer the live version.
