[Lounge Act]

yeah, its not bad, but chemical heart shouldnt have chartered. and i didnt see you know your right in there

[Lounge Act]

wait, actually, i did

[Lounge Act]

and how come jamoroqui did so well

[Emrys]

stuff that how did the vines do so well, they sound like complete crap

[Jerry]

It's a shame SFK didn't do as well this year as last, ohh well, there's always next year or 2005. I was happy to see the Foo's in there a couple of times as well as QOTSA and Nirvana (the more Dave Grohl the better ). It's excellent that the majority of the top 10 were all Aussie acts (give it up for home grown talent) I'm glad to see The Vines in the top 5 too, (yes I am a fan I don't care what you all say!). I thought Coldplay deserved a better place though as their latest album is pure brilliance!

[MARK!]

too bad none of the aussie bands in the top 10 were any good

at least something i liked got #1 for once.... though its not like i listen to the radio enough to care anyway....

lol yep that has some truth to it. With exceptions of The Vines. It depends on how you rate goodness. I don't think The Vines are a brilliant band, but Highly Evolved really won me over (before all the hype), it's a good album. And then there's Silverchair, who I used to adore but Diorama is shite

[MARK!]

well... cog were the best australian band this year.... (and pretty much ever in my humble opinion)....

but other great australian bands that were totally overlooked for the countdown:

ochre, heavy weight champ, karnivool, butterfly effect, headshot, brace, etc.....

[WithoutWords]

go kurt

wooo

and grohlsie

yyeaahhh ggggrohlllsie!

man this heat is getting to me

but hmm, the waitfs, really fucken shit me, they sound like a weak luke warm cup of tea

bah
and silverchair, go home you sell outs

[Tiberius]

It's a pity Say Something only got to position 63. It should have at least got in the top 10. Humph.

A few points:

• I don't mind the Machine Gun Fellatio songs that got in. They're not deep stuff, but they're decent ear candy.
  
• While I don't mind The Vines' cover of Ms Jackson, I can't stand the rest of their songs.
  
• Ben Lee can bite me.
  
• System of a Down does nothing for me.
  
• Why did The Androids' Do It With Madonna beat SFK's song? Why did The Androids' Do It With Madonna get in the list at all!?
  
• That Willcania Mob song got it? Goes to show what can happen if you flog something enough on JJJ.
  
• I don't mind Eminem's song Lose Yourself (though slot # 7 is a little too high) but why did people vote for Eminem's song Without Me? Urgh.
  
• Moter Ace, Schmoter Schpace.
  
• My plan to have Hawaiian Robots make the list didn't work. Tch. I thought, "hey, it's on the J Files greatest b-sides CD and some other CD".
  
• And the winner is.....
  queens of the stone age - no one knows. Bah.

Sometimes a "weak luke warm cup of tea" is just what you want. You don't always want a double whiskey straight up.

Oh no, not the dreaded "sell out" tag. Quick, called the alternapolice! Daniel Johns wants to make money. Arrest that man!

I could say something.... (geddit? I could say something? I kill me. ;D)

Um, who? Heh.

[WithoutWords]

bah humbug!

bah

diorama still sucks some serious arse

bah damn heat, someone hose me down

Can you really say that with certainty though? I mean, some people like Diorama, and isn't that what some people say about Something For Kate and Echolalia? Isn't it more about changing the sound and trying something different rather than compromising quality?
