Music, Australian politics, gymnastics, interesting random stuff, geeky pop culture and speech therapy. More of a reader & replier than a poster. Trying to re-create the diverse and fascinating feed twitter used to serve up back when its algorithm worked.

Clearly very loved, (I am indifferent to it) which just goes to show that different songs speak to different people.

Worried!

This is my first genuine โ€˜thought it would be higherโ€™ surprise of the day.

I grew up in a country town, and we all went to see any touring act that visited so we all went to see Darryl Braithwaite when he was touring his Rise album. And some old guy in the audience yelled โ€˜sing Horsesโ€™ after every song.

He didnโ€™t sing Horses.

Iโ€™m blaming gen Z for this one! #hottest100 (at least itโ€™s not number 1).

Icehouse had plenty of better songs, but thereโ€™s no denying this one is iconic and loved. The sort of song you know as soon as the first note plays. #hottest100

I voted for this one and my 20 year old did too.I thought it would be top 10 (and I like the original better than the club mix because the full lyrics are important.)

SMH reported that triplej said most votes were from the 18-29 age group, which I find surprising given the countdown so far.

Look as long as number one isnโ€™t Horses or How to make Gravy, itโ€™s already OK by me. Wall to wall gen X bangers would be boring!

26.07.2025 05:31 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 7    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Thatโ€™s what I voted for!

26.07.2025 04:38 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Not my first pick, but Iโ€™ll happily take it! 54 is good!

This one was a slam dunk - it was never a question of if, just what number.

Me too!

Did everyone forget The Divinyls? #hottest100

Ok, I voted for this, and sure it kills the vibe, but I will stand by it as one of the best anti war songs ever recorded, and one of Australiaโ€™s best ever protest songs. #hottest100

I think there is a lot more conversation happening at just #hottest100

26.07.2025 03:38 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Beds are Burning will be their highest, and the Dead Heart still stands a chance although I think it would have been below this one.

Iโ€™m dancing in ugly pants in the comfort of my lounge room in suburbia as I type! #hottest100

This whole countdown has evoked many small rooms, tents, stages and RSL halls. I think thatโ€™s what is making it so fun. Homebake and Livid really were an era werenโ€™t they!

26.07.2025 03:10 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 2    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Ooh, it starts here at number 70!

26.07.2025 03:01 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Iโ€™m predicting a top ten finish for under the milky way.

Every younger gen X and elder millennial with Saturday kidsโ€™ sport and a million other time-sensitive things to do is wondering how theyโ€™re going to drag themselves away from this #hottest100 to get it done.

Ooh Electric Blue at 92!!! This was one of the darlings I had to kill to get my top 10, but twelve year old me is so happy it made the countdown. #hottest100

First female vocalist in at 95 with Spiderbaitโ€™s Calypso evoking the late 90s. #hottest100

Voting was SO HARD that I reckon anything that makes the list has a huge amount of love behind it. My guess with the Oils, Nick Cave etc is the sheer size of their body of work will split the vote any one of their songs get. As opposed to Savage Garden who will have that one song that rallies fans.

This!! This is why it was so hard to find a top ten! 16 minutes into the countdown and three songs that could have been in my top ten if Iโ€™d voted on a different day. Itโ€™s going to be a banger of a day. #hottest100

This is apparently the first time an Australian rhythmic gymnast, junior or senior, has made apparatus finals at worlds. And she made two finals!

Strong contenders, but Hotel California is definitely the song that plays on repeat on the elevator down to hell.

This is quite a read (itโ€™s a thoughtful and insightful article, not a privileged whine).
