I agree, Clarkson should be made to imitate a street light in the Scottish Highlands.

BTW I saw an early episode of Top Gear somewhere and it was MUCH better, before Clarkson became convinced he was a mechanical messiah.

You did mean the show didn't you

Cheers

3 of my favourites that scored highly in the original polls
Personal Jesus - Depeche Mode
How Soon is Now - The Smiths
Uncertain Smile - The The

Also love Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty, truly haunting sax but not sure if it ever has been played on JJJ

I still have the original hottest 100 T-shirt, doesn't fit too well these days with all the song names on the back of the shirt still legible

Well thats a fair bunch of songs .. I think the only artists i don't have in the top 20 definately on the shelf would be foo fighters .. great music but never felt the need to buy , and the hilltop hoods who again I think are great but the haunting "sampled " lyrics of mel saffini make that track.

There's the 100. Highest vote for me was Nick Cave at #36.

Quite surprised RATM got so high. Still great song. Hope they go all out and release the full list as the cd package despite having most songs as mp3 or owning the albums they came from.

LOL Geoff, nope, love the show, hate the music.

Peter, yeah Baker Street is a great track. I stayed on Baker street on my last visit to London

Alex, yep awesome track. Huge fan of the original Tubular Bells.
My mum reckons I love it so much 'coz she listened to it everyday while pregnant with me!

Andrew, would be nice, but it depends on the various record labels and artists if the ABC can use them on an album.
Apparently Yono Oko has allowed JJJ to put a live version of Imagine on their album... first time anyone has been granted permission!

My highest vote came in #5, Radiohead's Paranoid Android (big Hitch-Hikers fan )
My #1 vote came in #46, Faith No More - Epic

Exclamation Nirvana

Hello, hello, hello, hello,
Hello, hello, hello, hello,
Hello, hello, hello, hello,
Hello, hello, hello, hello.

Na na na na, na na na na...

Great lyrics. Now I know why it was No.1 on the list!

Recommend YouTube "Weird Al" Yankovic - Smells Like Nirvana, if you want a giggle! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnuHJZMdako
Especially love the lyrics;

"Now I'm mumblin' and I'm screamin'
And I don't know what I'm singin'
Crank the volume, ears are bleedin'
I still don't know what I'm singin'
We're so loud and incoherent
Boy, this oughta bug your parents
Yeah
"

Pretty much sums it up, methinks!

"Sayonara, sayonara
Ayonawa, odinawa
Odinaya, yodinaya
Yaddayadda, yaaahyaaah
Ayaaaaaah!"
