A History of my Triple J Hottest 100 votes

In hindsight, I've made some bad decisions....






1998
Looking back, I should have voted for Manic Street Preachers' "If you tolerate this, then your children will be next" (#70) and Pearl Jam's "Do the Evolution" (#47).

1999
Far too much nu-metal in that list... In a do over Limp Bizkit and Orgy get dropped pretty quickly for VAST's "Touched" and Augie March's "Asleep in Perfection"

2000
In a re-vote, The Avalanches' "Frontier Psychiatrist" makes my shortlist easily.

2001
 The White Stripes("Hotel Yorba"), Muse ("Bliss") , Eskimo Joe ("Liar") and Superheist ("Step Back") would all go close in retrospect.

2002

2003
 Not the most varied list. Now, I'd include votes for The Yeah Yeah Yeahs ("Maps"), Johnny Cash ("Hurt") and Muse ("Hysteria").


2004
I caught on to The Arcade Fire too late for "Rebellion (lies)" to make my list.

2005
Where to start? No "My Enemy", no "Themata", no "Like Eating Glass". And "Shark Fin Blues" on top of that? For shame.

2006
Sarah Blasko's "Explain" is a big miss, as is Peeping Tom's "Mojo".

2007

2008

2009

2010

2011
"Somebody that I used to know" was so ubiquitous, that I omitted it from my voting list, figuring it would place at #1 anyway.
