Hottest 100s and 1000s

Judging the hotness of democratically voted hits from 1998? Sure. Judging the hotness of entire nations? Now you're talking. We also lay down the cardboard for some break-dance battles, set fire to some surfboards and get way too wound up by some anxiety-rock. Yeah, but mostly we just get horny for Wales. SONGS COVERED: 50. RUN DMC vs Jason Nevins - It's Like That 49. Hole - Malibu 48. Catatonia - Road Rage 47. Pearl Jam - Do the Evolution 46.

In a bitter, jaded world, it's an episode to make you believe again. Maybe our imaginary friends aren't so imaginary. Maybe we'll stay punk forever. Maybe life is worth living. Maybe all the songs in the triple j hottest 100 of 1998 really are connected in some cosmic way. And most importantly, maybe when our host says he's conducting some dangerous and elaborate stunt live in our studio he actually is and how dare you say otherwise. SONGS COVERED: 55. Radiohead - No Surprises 54. Frenzal Rhomb - Mum Changed the Locks 53. Everclear - Father of Mine 52. Green Day - The Grouch 51.

As is well documented, music was first created when our neanderthal fam noticed how good donking their mates on the noggin with large bones sounded (its no coincidence we use words like 'beat' and 'hits', after all). We pretty much clocked it then. When you get down to it, all music has been pretty much the same since, as we document with this episode- same ol instruments, same ol feels, even a few of the same ol bands. Feel free to have a listen anyway. As many times as you like. SONGS COVERED: 60. Ani Difranco - Untouchable Face (live) 59. The Propellerheads and Shirley Bassey - History Repeating 58. Pauline Pantsdown- I Don't Like It 57. Garbage - I Think I'm Paranoid 56.

We dedicate this episode to the real star of the show: the 108 metre tall building-chomping lizard we all know and love. It's a celebration of everything he's done- the time he fought fascism in the Spanish civil war, his hard-line stance against advertising and, of course, his numerous musical cameos. This one's for you, big G. SONGS COVERED: 70. Manic Street Preachers - If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next 69. Pollyanna - Cinnamon Lip 68.

Everyone has a price, right? You dish out the right scrilla and you'll get a car with arms, you'll get to play as Deej in your favourite video game, you might even get us to stop making this podcast. But can you ever get your favourite 90s French house project to release more music? In solidarity with the French government, we dedicate this episode to that hope. SONGS COVERED: 75.

We're drawing a line on morality. Australian 90s bands that love each other? Goodies. The cast of Seinfeld? Baddies. Kangaroos? Goodies. One certain song we won't mention here but is in this episode? Maybe the biggest baddie of the season. Heck, we're probably baddies for this one too. SONGS COVERED: 85. Something for Kate - Harpoon 84. Green Day - Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) 83.

ooooooo yeah, baby. We've been wanting to make this kind of episode for you for a looooong time. We've been saving our most sensual banter and horniest songs just for this kind of episode. I think you know what kind of episode this is. The kind that calls for those other headphones. You know the ones. Go ahead, slip those on. Let's get down to it. Right after we both input the right pairing codes. SONGS COVERED: 90. Chef - No Substitute 89. Garbage - Special 88. Pearl Jam - Wishlist 87. Garbage - Push It 86.

Alright, new season, new direction for communication: two-way, baby. In a bold and shamefully transparent strategy for more engagement, we're putting the call out on all kinds of things: Beck-fruit pairings, Godzilla, and who does the best cover versions and why is it Tom Jones? You know what to do. SONGS COVERED: 95. Beck - Tropicalia 94. Smashing Pumpkins - Perfect 93. Silverchair - Untitled 92. Space & Cerys Matthews - The Ballad of Tom Jones 91.

They're back! Well, 3/4 of them anyway (and the replacement for the one missing is a pretty good stand in.) And although we start at the bottom of another hundo, there are still big songs and big things happening: we get David to Eurovision, we put black metal on the main stage at big day out, we write a hit heartwarming family film and yes, we dare to do the impressions nobody ever should. #season6 #1998 #freeAndrew #lockAndrewup SONGS COVERED: 100.

This is how the 1997 hottest 100 countdown ends- not with a bang, not with a whimper; but with lawsuits, woohoos, classifieds, whiskeys/vodkas/lagers/ciders and, most of all, songs that remind us of the good times. Allegedly.  Still gargantuan, still iconic, still unmistakable. It's the second half of THE BIG TEN.  SONGS COVERED: 5. Pauline Pantsdown - Back Door Man 4. The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony 3. Chumbawumba - Tubthumping 2. Blur - Song 2 1.

Oh i'm sorry, is this podcast about animal husbandry now? Because it seems like we're about to talk about some GOATS! They're gargantuan. They're monolithic. They're iconic. They're songs whose names you couldn't possibly mistake. They're the ones you know and love. ​They are... THE BIG TEN ...well, the first half of them anyway. SONGS COVERED: 10.

With our top ten episode still on the way- and kicking off with Jebediah- Adam has a chat with Jebediah's Kevin Mitchell (aka. Bob Evans). Exhibiting equal parts passion, humour and humility, Kevin generously discusses how he came to songwriting, what it was like to be in Jebediah, how Leaving Home came to be, how he was both encouraged and discouraged by some of the bands he toured with, what allowed him to stick with music for so long, what playing music is like now as well as sharing some music he loved then and loves now. To stay up to date with Jebediah and Bob Evans, check out: jebediah.net, bobevans.com.au, follow Kevin on Twitter @BobEvansMusic and check out his podcast Good Evans, It's a Bobcast!

This is the remix and we're remixing harder than ever before, baby- we're changing genres entirely. You'll still get our personal picks for the songs we'd have loved to hear in to the '97 countdown AND your feedback, but (proving this is the only podcast you could ever need) you'll also get to witness the birth of one legendary dwarf and friends. Roll up. We hope you enjoy the journey, but just in case you want to get straight to the usual stuff...
