So as Australia Day passes in another drunken stupor so does another Hottest 100.
A list of the hottest 100 songs from 2008 voted by one of the largest sample groups going around still leads to a massive amount of debate on what songs made it, where it made it and where it didn’t.
On a whole I was extremely happy with the Hottest 100 although the top 5 were pretty much set in stone before it even begun. Saying that the songs that did make it there were well deserved even though they were flogged on the radio to no end. Hearing them still resulted in everyone in listening vicinity to sing the shit out of all said songs reinforcing their position at the top of the pile.
One band that missed the cut surprisingly was Coldplay with Viva La Vida. Now this is a band that has made its presence felt in the Hottest 100 many times before and I was a little shocked to find out that they missed out. But I only noticed this after having it brought to my attention which shows the caliber of the Hottest 100 as one of the best so far where such a massive band can go unnoticed.
The full list can be found here and if you have a what.cd account a sweet collage of albums can be found here.
What did you think of the hottest 100 for 2008? Love it? Hate it? Can’t believe (insert song here) made it where it did?
