Anyone else listening? Predictions on the No.1 spot?

I'm thinking Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah may take the spot or atleast get close but other then that, Radiohead - Creep?

I'd say Smells Like Teen Spirit too. No Radiohead so far though - Paranoid Android or Creep are both contenders there. A little disappointed with the Tool and Pumpkins placings so far. Time is running out for Primus too. :D

I hope it's not Smells like teen spirit... It's a great song, but no where near the greatest song of all time...

I think Muse is going to be up there considering its Triple J :P

Well, it's not really about the "greatest song" of all time, rather the most popular with this particular audience.

Heh, there's clearly not enough Pink Floyd in the list :P

"Time" is one of my favourite songs of all time... maybe top 20?

Radiohead finally sneak in. Going to be at least a couple more from them. No Soundgarden? I do not doubt the resolve of Metallica fans either and expect One to be right up there.

I think Black Hole Sun in the top ten, but I guess that will be it?

Most over rated song of all time in my opinion... I find it damn boring and don't see the appeal.

I hope Offspring - Come out and play or Self Esteem is up there.

I dont think it's worthy of a top10 spot... But I do love the song. From the breath he takes at the start to the end, it's a fantastic peice of music. One of the only songs I prefer the cover over the original.

i cant see how its a fantastic piece of music... if anything, its lyrically good... still, not my thing lyrically or otherwise. Didn't Leonard Cohen write it? cant stand that guy, i dont know why anyone would like it. But then, the spice girls out sold the beatles.... people are morons.

Even though i think Metallica are dicks, hope Enter Sandman is up there.. and a good dose of acca dacca. Faith No More - Epic, and a previous JJJ 100 winner Evidence both deserve a spot too.

I should do a Dexter's Top 100, mine would kick arse :D

Enter Sandman has already been in. One has just popped up at 19 - expected slightly better. Epic has already been in too - in the 40s.

Yeah, it doesn't really have that epic track thing but i'll have to admit, I really don't like hip hop but that's one song I don't mind.

Karma Police no surprise. Paranoid Android and Creep still to come?

Glad Wish You Were Here got in. Although much prefer the live version.
