    Default Hottest 100 of all Time

    What are your thoughts on the outcome?

    It was obvious to all that 'Smells like Teen Spirit' would be #1... again.
    #2 was a shock to me, but Rage Against the Machine are awesome so it was a pleasant shock.

    #3 being a cover song shit me, so did Hilltop Hoods being anywhere in the top 20, that's just insulting.

    It was a lot of predictable cock rock - only one female vocal in 100 songs, I think. It would have been better if Michael Jackson's body had waited the three days until the voting was over before it killed him - it skewed his appearance in a radio poll by a station who would never play him otherwise. I agree that a whiny Leonard Cohen cover is not great art. Nevertheless, people voted for these songs and I'd agree that a lot of the best pop/rock songs of all time were clearly represented (with a few oddities.)

    I don't know half of the songs that made the "Hottest 100". I probably know them if I heard them I guess.

    What a load of crap, gunners barely squeaked into the top 50, there's no alice cooper, no motorhead and worst of all... no stan bush!

    I only caught the last 10, Fine with the top 3 there all enjoyable songs. Though I do prefer Leonard Cohen's version just a little over Buckleys.

    Also I couldn;t help but notice being dead is also a big boost in the hottest 100, See Michael Jackson, Kurt Cobain, Jeff Buckley, The Joy Divison guy, Fredy Mecury, Jimi Hendrix and more.

    Yeah I agree. They could have gone a bit higher with that.
