Not important at all apart from the people who care (but then isn't anything). The hottest 100 is played/counted down on Australia Day - Australias national day, similer to your Independace Day (but we haven't made a shitty movie....yet)

Triple J the station is a non commercial governtment funded national radio station, Australias only national radio station. And although it is funded by the government, it is always getting accused of being "left wing" (we have a right wing government at the moment).

It is the greatest radio station in the World.

What do you expect from the nation that spawned Rupert Murdoch.

Can't fucking stand Snow Patrol either

TBH, I can't even recall a SP song. Probably means they suck.

Snow Patrol is god awful. That Chasing Cars song makes me wanna drive a car off a cliff.

Radiohead
The Smiths
The Cure

No, no. I actually find them quite offensive to look at as well. They seem like complete, self-involved douchebags. And Sabbath and Zeppelin would be rolling over in their long-overdue graves if they ever heard they were compared to a flash-in-the-pan rehash of '70s rock like Wolfmother.

Sarcasm? or were you dead serious?

I'm gonna have to say Falloutboy, and Coheed and Cambria

Quite an honour? Do you even remember half the artists that made it to the Top 100 in recent memory? It's not like there's a hall of fame for them or something. And I guarantee you the majority of the population - who don't listen to Triple J, mind - probably couldn't name them either. The Top 100 is useful for background music on Australia Day and that's it. A lot of bands who've made the list in previous years like Machine Gun Fellatio, the Hilltop Hoods, and Jet, are all novelties that everybody circle-jerks over for a year and then drops it. The rest are all international artists anyways. Kelis' "Milkshake" made the list in 2003 for fuck's sake. It's like the one song she ever put out and she made it in. What an honour. I bet she's thrilled. Don't delude yourself mate. The list is fun, for sure. But an honour? The world's a big place, and as nice as it is to be appreciated in your own country, it's not like Wolfmother have spawned their own Beatlemania.

Anyway, don't go chiding other countries for their output of music by saying we don't have bands like Panic! At The Disco and My Chemical Romance. Take off your rose-coloured glasses and have a peek at artists like the aforementioned Jet, and others like Grinspoon (fuck I hate Grinspoon), End of Fashion, Eskimo Joe, Regurgitator, The Vines, Kisschasy (who played with Simple Plan, just for information's sake), In The Grey, etc etc etc. We're not exempt from putting out crap, so jump off your high horse.

Don't get me wrong, there are some sensational Australian bands who will never get the recognition they deserve - bands who are incredibly talented to the point that you can't fathom why they're not on the radio when every man and his dog seems to be able to put out a hit song - but we don't have this perfect music scene that you seem to have envisioned for yourself.

IF I LAY HERE
IF I JUST LAAAAAAAAY HERE
WOULD YOU LAY WIIIIIIITH ME
WE COULD JUST FORGET THE WORLDDDDDDDDD


Ringing any bells? He takes 4 lines to get through one sentence.

Oh also, Parkway Drive is horrible. NO IDEA how they got signed to Epitaph.

Wow, haven't heard of 97% of the bands listed.

I can't stand:

The Eagles
The Grateful Dead
Coldplay
Nirvana

Dead serious - overrated shite the lot of them.

Yup. Now I remember. I want to kick him in the balls. Nice melody, but I think everything else about the song is ass.

coheed and cambria
beyonce

I actually like a few Vines songs. Wouldn't count them among the greats, but hey.

Anyway, thanks for the rant. :love: It's refreshing to see someone not fellate these lists. I've seen a couple of 100 lists from them now, and if ranking above some of the shit on there is an accomplishment, the music scene must suck. Of course it doesn't, but I mean, it's no different than the US music scene or any other country.

On the other hand, American pop music is an easy target, so who can blame them for the shots?

Anyway....

(Back to the Stone Coyotes).

AC/DC

:y:

Radiohead is far from overrated.

You...what? :'(

Yes, yes I know I'm the only one in the entire world.

You don't like my fuckin music you get your own fuckin cab!

:shifty:

Guns N Faggots

Fags n Roses?

Metallica

Bachman Turner Overdrive.

Come on, man. I had a rough night and I hate the fuckin' Eagles, man!

Yeah them too

Oooh KK said fags n roses, i feel so insulted, not! ;)

Good charlotte are another band i can't stand, my mate loves them though...

Well at least there's one thing we can agree on.

I don't hate Radiohead, I just really cannot understand the hype. Everyone seems to be like 'OMG OK COMPUTER!!!111' but it just seems to be a pretty boring sound.

Fall Out Boy
Panic! At The Disco
MCR
Mars Volta (worst band I have ever seen live)
Led Zeppelin (sorry)
Green Day
Pussy Cat Dolls
+44
Angels and Airwaves
blink 182

I'm with you on that.

Btw Diesel Mac- I don't expect you to understand what good music is so i dont blame you for not liking GnR, its cool with me!

Fags n Faggots.

Tell me you saw them as one of the openers for the Chili Peppers on the By the Way tour.....

talk about embarassingly bad.

Makes sense. The Mars Volta buries themselves in so much production it's not even funny. It's like fertilizer: Most bands are produced with a healthy amount to help them grow. TMV just got buried under a steaming pile of shit.

Let me set the record straight. I hate Axl Rose. If they had someone else I'd probably wouldn't mind them so much.

Velvet Revolver?

Yeah Scott Weiland > Axl Faggot

Ah ok fair enough i guess i can understand your hate of him. I just don't hate so easily. just out of interest, what are your reasons for hating him? I'm just inspired by some of his best live performances, i can forgive anything else he does it seems cause of it.

At the moment "The Feeling" are my No.1 choice to massacre.

PLEASE remind me to give you a good, hard, swift hit to the balls with a corked wooden BAT for that shit later. :shifty:

I'm officially fucked, then, though, because I listen to 3/4th of the afromentioned bands on my iPod, and all songs I like, mind you. Not saying I like the BANDS inparticular, just those particular songs.

I'll echo Pussycat Dolls, though. Who the fuck decided to give them a fucking CONTRACT?!

And finally, I'm surprised. Of all the bashing they get, I'm VERY surprised that no one mentioned them yet:

LIMP BIZKIT!!

I'd rather get hit in the balls than listen to Atreyu.

*grabs a bat with splinters in it* You SURE about that? ;)

Atreyu's listenable.

I saw Mars Volta in September when RHCP came to winnipeg. This was for Stadium Arcadium.

I mean, Mars Volta were just...noise. Not music. Noise.

Thankfully RHCP put on the best show I've ever seen.

Oh, and Atreyu sucked live when I saw them at Taste of Chaos last year.
