Triple J Hottest 100
January 21st, 2007 by Scuba
The voting for the annual Triple J Hottest 100 is closing today, so whatcha waiting for Vote Now!
The best of Local and International acts will be showcased, with the winners being announced on Jan 26.
What’d I vote for? It’s hard listening to such a great amount of music and not being biased towards more recent tracks. I tried to pick 10 that I was really into at the time of release, and stuck with me throughout the year.
Thus I present, Scuba’s Selection of 2006’s Alternative Goodness:
Arctic Monkeys – Dancing Shoes
Flaming Lips – Free Radicals
Hard-Fi – Cash Mashine
Kasabian – Empire
Mates Of State – Fraud In The 80’s
Muse – Supermassive Black Hole
Mars Volta – Viscera Eyes
Panic! At The Disco – London Beckoned Songs About Money Written By Machines
Sufjan Stevens – Dear Mr. Supercomputer
Thom Yorke – Harrowdown Hill
After thoughts? Panic? Yes sure its Emo, but darn addictive too. Mates of State was tough, I loved the album and narrowed it down to about 5 before picking Fraud In The 80’s. The rest were each my favorite tracks of some of my favorite albums of the year. Enjoy.
Speaking of great music, I’m off to Big Day Out later today – so expect a full wrap up featuring the likes of The Killers, Jet, Muse and The Violent Femmes very soon.
wowsers… scuba.id.au is BACK!!!
First up… Scubophilus Thistler. AWESOME. Kudos to Clinton for coming up with that!
Now, as for the H1H, well I can’t remember all the songs I voted for except I do recall some Living End, Camille, Baxendale, AFI… oh yeah and Blue King Brown. Can’t remember what else I voted for though.
You’ve got a pretty interesting top 10. The only one I absolutely have to disagree with is Supermassive Black Hole…. man I’m a fan of Muse’s older stuff, but they new album sucked balls, and Supermassive Black Hole epitomises it.
Hope you have a radcore funkalicious time at BDO. I went to surfer’s yesterday with some friends… probalby not the smartest day for it :/

Woah man, sure I loved all the previous albums too, but BH&R is a great, albeit somewhat fragmented, collection of tracks. While Supermassive Black Hole looses out on the much loved piano work by Bellamy, that intense riff throughout epitomizes what a great guitarist he is…
