Replied to Hottest 100 of the Decade – 2010s | triple j (abc.net.au)
I always find these votes intriguing. One thing that interests me are the songs that are not available to select.

Here were my selections, with where they came in brackets:

  • Arcade Fire – Modern Man
  • Beach House – Zebra
  • Childish Gambino – This Is America (90)
  • Daft Punk – Giorgio By Moroder
  • Emma Louise – Jungle
  • Lorde – Green Light (61)
  • Mark Ronson – Uptown Funk {Ft. Bruno Mars} (158)
  • The National – Bloodbuzz Ohio (197)
  • The Wombats – Greek Tragedy (86)
  • Yeasayer – O.N.E.

How the 18yo anti-pop star’s bass-heavy, bedroom-made oddity made Hottest 100 history and conquered the music world.

It is always interesting to see where the songs you voted for polled. Personally, I voted for the following:

  • Banks – Gimme
  • G Flip – Bring Me Home
  • King Princess – Cheap Queen
  • Lana Del Rey – Fuck it I love you
  • Maggie Rogers – The Knife
  • Mark Ronson – Late Night Feelings {Ft. Lykke Li}
  • Methyl Ethel – Ruiner
  • Montaigne – Losing My Mind
  • Of Monsters And Men – Alligator
  • Thelma Plum – Better In Blak (9)

Clearly way off.

The one thing I would say is that you cannot just pick any track/artist. For example, I really wanted to vote for Bats for Lashes’ Desert Man, but was unable to.

The band plays a striped back version of their song Alligator. Gone are the driving guitars, replaced with subtly of synths and synthetic drums.
