And yeah, ‘A long way to the top’ by AC/DC didn’t make it.
So… well… I have enjoyed being a citizen of Australia. But it’s important to also acknowledge that our values have drifted apart…

Also ‘Buy Me A Pony’. Can’t believe this was the 3rd most popular Spiderbait track.
Parkway Drive made the Hottest 200! An actual fucking Metal band.
lol and so did Shannon Noll!
I do see Sneaky Sound System made the list.
Vocalist Connie Mitchell (who has an awesome and distinctive voice) was in another band named Primary… and I loved Primary!
In a weird twist of events, we ended up drinking with some of them at Wollongong Uni Bar back in the day after their show.
I think the 200 - 101 list has really crystallised this poll as a mix of old songs, new songs, and a little bit of shitposting.
Number 142 in the Hottest 100 Of Australian Songs

142. Vanessa Amorosi - 'Absolutely Everybody'
141. Jebediah - ‘Harpoon’
Thanks to #hottest100ofaustralia I’ve had a Missy Higgins ear worm for days. I’m finally giving in to it.
I really quite liked this album when it came out. It still holds up pretty well if you’re into female vocal indie pop.
Looking at the list of Hottest 100 from 200-181…
This is kinda what I thought the overall list was gonna be like, with a lot of songs from the last two decades.
(There are old songs here, but I think a lower proportion than the 100-1 list)
And you know, I probably would have tuned out early on in that case.

In at my new job today. They were discussing #hottest100ofaustralia
The young woman said she had never heard Cold Chisel before, "What is Khe Sahn?"
At this point I had to chime in... 🤦
What a fun afternoon/evening that was, lots of nostalgia amid the great music. #hottest100ofaustralia #hottest100 https://bne.social/@james/114922524097040072
Can’t believe that this didn’t make the #TripleJ #hottest100ofaustralia https://youtu.be/2-ic_LhWsrA
As usual, I'm completely out of touch. I would have had the Screaming Jets' song at No.1 and /or 'Am I ever gonna see you face again?' I'm also surprised the Seekers didn't get a look in. (No.Not really!)
#hottest100ofaustralia
‘’Up There Cazaly’ became the highest-selling Australian single ever, with sales of over 240,000 as of October 1979 and 260,000 by the end of 1980’ 😞

What are people's thoughts on the Triple J Hottest 100 of Australian Music?
@FrancescaJ It really surprises me. That so many young men voted for that song. INXS with Michael Hutchence is ancient history for them, one would think.
