Has anyone put their hand up for Angus and Julia Stone? That's embarassing.
It's like women have taken over the music industry and said yes, I want all people to listen to boring, slow music.
It's everywhere now.
What happened to rock being liked by the masses?????
I only typed that rant so I could put the following in here (received it on email). It's the thoughts of various people on youtube about A&J S and there was no Hottest 100 thread (maybe cos we knew how bad this thing had become):
What a lame excuse for music. F++k this band, f**k Triple J for turning into a watery, softcore pussy fest. **** you for reading my message and f**k me for being such a jaded a**ehat.
Why do they deserve to win?
Well out of 1.5million votes they were voted most popular song for 2010.
That's saying something.
Secondly, When music is perceived as lifeless , dull or boring it is most likely because you do not have the ability to tune in with such a genre of music.
Do you think you can determine music for genres better than millions of other people?
And as for saying EVERYONE can play this type of music!!
that's a huge call.
Can you guys? I'd love to hear one of yours.<3
The world of music, film and art is quickly going to the shit. For Christ sake how have we become such a controlled, bland and subdued society. Look at the progression of children's programmings from the early nineties to now. People are infecting children with mediocre dreams, creating machines built on physiological domain. The blander the food the easier it is to inject. That is what this shit represents.
Triple J kick started this pseudo-hippie trend just like that started all that shitty underground electronic music a few years ago. Anyway, regardless of who started playing what, this song blows and you can kiss my hairy white arse.
What the f**k has happened to Triple J? It used to showcase angsty, edgy music for disaffected youth. Now it has droll music like this on the top of its rotation. I'm an old fart (nearing 50) and I'm concerned if this is what teenagers and those in their twenties find musically relevant to them. Another musical revolution (as occured with punk) is needed desperately.
I wonder if Triple J will subtitle the Hottest 100 album "Music For Softcocks"?
Australians have turned into weird hippie lovin fags... Few years ago it was all about dance/electro/trance music and now everybody's saying "dance music is so mainstream mann, we never liked that shit"... This hippie music is just another trend and will die shortly.
This is genuinely the biggest pile of shite in modern music history. An inexcusable oversight from the sh***est radio station in the southern hemisphere. 12 meters of total toss
It saddens me to see that the musical tastes of the majority have dimished to four chords with little to no original melody... Oh well, at least it's easy to tune out.
This is probably the most boring song I've heard in a long time. It's nearly as boring as Jack Johnson, which is FU****NG BORING. Look, it's not really offensive or anything, but it's just so boring and pedestrian. It's elevator music really.
Deserved winners, all you a*sewipes butt hurt about the hottest 100 can suck on my oversized d**k. Seriously, just give it a nibble.
What a boring, disappointing song to get number 1. I wanted the number one song to be at least something cheery that I could celebrate the end to an epic countdown to - not some depressing, anti-climatic song that could be played at a friends funeral.
PS: Sorry for beating the swear filter but these are actual quotes.

They have to revert back to voting for just one song only to eradicate the crapola and bring it back to it's former glory
