Pretty dodgy list for 'GOAT'.

It's what people voted for...

I've seen far worse top 10s in "best song ever" polls.

'People' in this case being the proportion of the 5 per cent of Australians who listen to triple j who could be bothered to vote.

Well who's Mr Negativity tonight?

Nah, just pointing out how it is.

triple j is a sheltered workshop in the media landscape, where even bucket could get a job.

It's still better than any commercial radio station.

The difference is like being tortured. And saying 'the electrodes attached to my nipples are still better than any electrodes attached to my testicles.'

Music radio is redundant and dying. That's why there are iPods.

"Powderfinger" ???

Ever heard of google?

No U2 in the Top100?

No Floyd ... No Springstein .... No GnR ...... but Buckley get's the nod twice in the "Top 10" ...

Stoopid.

Smells like teen spirit isn't even Nirvana's best song.

All Apologies.

Where's Achy Breaky Heart?

I did explain the 'sheltered workshop' thing about the station that did the 'poll' didn't I?

Hilltop Hoods?! Puh-lease!

No Elvis in the top 10 (or 100 for that matter)
No Beatles
No John Lennon (ie Imagine)
No Beach Boys

etc

No Van der Graaf Generator
No Yes
No Ten Years After

what conspiracy is this?

any Abba?

No Tommy Steele?

It's a very strange list. What's happened to TripleJ listeners?

Queen and Led Zep in the Top 10, yet JJJ have probably never even played them. And Elton John was somewhere else in the Top 100 - although I assume that was a pisstake.

I head some young sheila ring up and say she couldn't decide which Beatles and Stones songs she should vote for. WTF isn't she listening to Nova or Triple M?

I can't see how it could be called a 'best songs' list. It was a popular vote by a very small minority of the population.
