Triple J Listeners Shock No One

So Triple J's Hot 100 is out again for another year. What did the all knowing uber-hip crowd of posers and greens voters hit up this year as the number 1 song?

Kings Of Leon - Sex On Fire

Oh Triple J Listeners... you really do plan to just be completely unsurprisingly year in year out don't you?

Man, if only Powderfinger or Wolfmother had released another album you would have had the Top Ten sewn up right there.

MGMT at #2, #5 and The Presets at #6 and #8.

Let the shit dance music revolution continue!

Empire Of The Sun? You guys named yourself after a shitty Spielberg film?

You know who my favorite electronic music duo is? Always. Closely followed by Minority Report. They rock the rad beats.

#9 The Ting Tings - That's Not My Name.

The Ting Tings? MGMT? The Presets?

Way to make this list completely unlistenable two years from now.

#13 The Herd - The King Is Dead...

Is that song about John Howard? Because if it is here's the heads up: you're the only guys who care.

Seriously if the Herd harped on about how much they hate John Howard anymore we'd think they had a grade school crush on the guy.

#14 & #15 - The Rapture & Cut Copy?

What happened did only homosexual 22 year olds vote this year?

MGMT's Time To Pretend only clocked in at #18?

What. The. Fuck. Not only one of the best songs of the year, but also the only good song MGMT will ever release, but it's too mainstream for the fucking Triple J crowd, they've got to give the top MGMT honours to Kids. Or fucking Electric Feel. "We can't conform too much with mainstream society that's when we'd find out exactly how irrelevant we are."

#23 The Living End - White Noise.

The Living End could record themselves shitting into a bucket and they'd make this list...

Update: That's exactly what White Noise is.

#27 Josh Pyke

#28 Archetecture In Helsinki

Really? Wow. You guys are really batting outside your comfort zone this year huh? ... what happened to Cog?

#31 Cog

It's almost as if Triple J have heard of good music by putting Vampire Weekend on the list, but they can't quite figure out how to vote for anything that isn't 'dance'something or 'electronic'whatevers.

It's a good thing you voted for Nick Cave, cause if there's one thing we need it's that unburied corpse wandering aimlessly across the Aria stage for another fucking year complaining about how some band he used to play with that nobody gives a shit about wasn't listed on the award either.

DUDE THE ARIA HALL OF FAME IS JUST FILLER! NOBODY ACTUALLY RELEVANT ON THE LIST. IF THE ARIAS HAD IT THEIR WAY IT WOULD BE POWDERFINGER EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

"This year entering the Hall Of Fame is Powderfinger for their single Sunsets."

There's good music on the list (and by good music I mean music I like) like Death Cab For Cutie, Cold War Kids and Lily Allen.

But then there's also Something For Numbers.

Something For Numbers is still around?

I swear to god they got lost in a time portal where they're stuck at the Big Day Out in 1999 playing on Stage 2 right before 28 Days.

Proof Triple J listeners don't know what they're talking about.

#65 Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal

Have a listen to White Winter Hymnal and then try and justify it coming in below Faker.

The Grates are on the list like 3 times. I like the Grates, which is to say I hate all of the Grates singles, but there's some good songs on their albums if you can get past all the screeching grrrl bullshit.

The 100 rounds out with such totally non poser choices of:

Sigur Ros and Dizzee Rascal...

But also Gyroscope & Metallica... so maybe all Triple J listeners are 14 year old boys trapped in 1996 after all.
