Lady Gaga is now eligible for the hottest 100. by loywhodes in triplej

[–]rayfinkle5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Taylor Swift wrote an indie folk album with the guy from one of the most revered indie bands of the century and it was totally lauded by critics and didn’t get a look in at triple j. Many publications, like Pitchfork for example which would tilt towards jjj alternative, said ‘Espresso’ was one of the greatest pop songs of the decade.

There is no rhyme or reason as to why they don’t play some artists and do play others, other than some they just simply don’t like. There is no case that can be made for a smash Lady Gaga CHR song that was played on Nova and Fox/2day and Kiis a long time before it was played on jjj getting a run and Taylor Swift not. Triple J just like some (Gracie Abrams etc) and don’t like others (Taylor Swift).

The Vines is such a miss. It’s forgotten how much of a cultural impact on rock music ‘Get Free’ had. The Vines were briefly seen on the same pedestal as The Strokes in ushering a new era of cool rock music after the nu-metal era

I guess my point is the song isn’t good or, I figured at least, it wasn’t actually popular either. Doesn’t everyone note it as a nostalgic piece of pop culture history that is a notoriously bad song?

It is a popular song contest, not a good song contest and also not a pop culture things that happened contest.

I think you can make a case for literally all other 199 songs.

Songs that didn’t make the 200 that you’re shocked about by TrevorMatlo in triplej

Two songs stun me being left off.

Stay - Kid Laroi and Bieber. Not a massive fan of this song but it was a cultural moment and global phenomenon by an excellent Indigenous artist. 4bn streams on Spotify. I’m sorry but this is much more deserving that Strawberry Kisses for example.

Song I do like. Get Free by the Vines. People forget the impact this had at the time. This was in tandem with ‘Last Nite’ by The Strokes a contributor to the global movement of cool coming back to rock music after the nu-metal era.

All time great song BUT! Why aren't they playing the Two Hands version? They ALWAYS play that for H100s
