Yes it IS shit.
The album version was in the list last year, but only came like 60th or something. Bah!
They should make it that you can only vote for ONE song...cos when you can vote for 10 (or up til this year, as many as you wanted!), I think people voted for maybe 2 or 3 of their absolute faves, then just anything they could think of that they'd been playing recently and was OK. So crap gimmicky songs end up making it right to the top.

1. Jet- are you gonna be my girl

here's a review skewering jet to make u all feel better (stolen from the indie snobs @ pitchforkmedia.com ):

Jet
Get Born
[Elektra; 2003]
Rating: 3.7 out of 10
"Jet! You're finally here! Nice to meet you; I'm Vali, I run the venue. Jesus, guys, I wasn't sure you were gonna show up tonight."

"Sorry, man. You know, bitches."

"Nice. But listen: You guys got a job to do now. We got a packed house, like, 50,000 shitfaced Americans out there and upwards of five Belgian exchange students, all of them dying for a fresh take on the old-school rock 'n' roll. You Aussie sons of bitches think you can handle that? I mean not that I'm worried, I have complete faith in you guys. Just go out there and give them what they want."

"Wait, man, are you telling us what to do? Fuck you, we're Jet! Wherever we play people sleep with us."

"That's great, but the crowd's getting anxious. You gotta get out there and play 'Last Chance'. People will love the shit out of that one."

"Hey, all you American motherfuckers, we're Jet! Here's a song that sounds like AC/DC, a band you love."

"What the? They're booing?! Guys, quick, get back over here. We gotta rethink our strategy."

"Man, American crowds are fucked up. Everybody loves AC/DC. That song is practically an AC/DC song."

"Guys, guys, don't worry about it, the crowd just needs to get warmed up. Go out there and do your big hit, 'Are You Gonna Be My Girl'. Seriously, the crowd is gonna eat this shit up. We got all the AV effects you wanted: Right now we got event security bringing out thirty fuckin' angry alligators with top hats on, Iggy Pop's gonna shoot out of that cannon, and midway through we're gonna send in the kid from the iPod commercial. Still working on the Oxycontin, though, sorry."

"Man, that's bullshit!"

"Listen, Vali, those alligators better be angry."

"Yeah, and no beret shit, either. The alligators want top hats."

"Fine, okay, done. Look, the crowd wants you back, just get back out there. Everything's all set. This time, the shit's gonna rock."

"Hey assholes, it's us again, Jet! Here's the song you came to hear, a shameless rip-off of 'Lust for Life' by Iggy Pop, who is here with us tonight in this cannon."

"'Fuck Jet!'"? Is that what the kids are screaming? Woof! Guys, get back here!"

"I cannot fucking believe this! Don't these people know who Iggy Pop is?!"

"Guys, I don't know what to tell you. I think you need to do some ballads. The crowd wants to hear some ballads. You got anything that sounds like Oasis, The Wallflowers, Bon Jovi?"

"Fuck you, man, we have songs that sound exactly like those guys. These kids won't know the difference. Awright, motherfuckers, let's get out there and melt some hearts. Hello again, Americans! Do you like insipid love songs that sound like wedding band covers? Get ready for five of them!"

"Jet! You guys are covered in shit! What's going on out there?"

"They threw their shit at us!"

"Wow, I have never seen that happen before. I'm sorry about this, but you guys are gonna need to come up huge. Do you have anything you can do?"

"We have a couple songs that sound like the Stones."

"Perfect! Everybody loves the Stones. Just get out there and do them. Maybe throw in a song called 'Get What You Need', which theoretically would sport a pilfered Kinks' guitar riff from 'All Day and All of the Night' and a bassline kidnapped from The Temptations' 'Get Ready'. If there's one thing Americans love, it is Rock-Motown. Just go give them some Stones, which they love, then a little honky-tonk piano because that's awesome, then close with some Rock-Motown."

"Oh my god, this is terrible. Jet! Come here. Stop playing. Listen, you guys are not going over at all. I can count the people out there on one fist. You better bail out quick."

"Dude, I don't understand. We sound like everyone's favorite old rock bands, we have insipid lyrics, we say 'Come On!' and 'Oh Yeah!' every five seconds, we have no discernable identity, and we're from Australia. What could people possibly dislike about us?"

"No idea, brah. Listen, why don't you do one more song, like about how DJs aren't actually musicians and you don't get how they pull tail."

"Oh, you mean 'Rollover DJ'? The one that goes, 'You've been playing other people's songs all night,' right?"

"Yes, that is exactly the song I'm talking about."

yeah where the fuck was Interpol?!!! they're popular enough aren't they? do people here like them?
i can't believe that aussie hip hop shite beat obstacle 1

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Yeah, some songs really should have gotten higher, such as 'There There'. Songs that should have been on there (Augie March-Little Wonder for instance) didn't make it at all. Its unsurprising though, being a 'popular' vote.

While that of course is unavoidable, what really annoys me about the Hottest 100 is how Powderfinger consistently get very high positions. (3 songs in the top 10 this year..).
Australia's most overrated band.. (In my opinion at least.)

 

[walrusbear]

most popular band for sure.
they are overrated yeah

but i still like them

interpol came to australia!!! and i missed them

damn i hope they liked it here. they'd better come again

 

[zannaz]

Yeah they definitely liked it here, paul banks said so himself (i got to talk to the band memebers afterwards). The played at the Metrotheatre on August 9 and 11. The first show was sold out and it was amazing. They will come back, well they should after their successful tour.

I remember seeing The Kills and Hot Hot Heat and then Interpol the next night, it was one of the best weekends of my life!!!

hahahaha, nah i really wanna, but i have no money and uni starts on the 22nd, so i'll be busy
i saw qotsa a few weekends ago though.. which was awesome
are you?

 

[how u doin?]

why does everyone hate jet?

 

[zannaz]

When i think about it Jet aren't that bad, compared to the crap music being put out there by crap bands! I think when a band gets any international recognition we tend to put them down e.g The Vines!

Oh yeah and Sigur Ros are awesome and should've been up there!

 

[Toodulu]

i don't mind rollover DJ, it's only that song that annoys me

 

[walrusbear]
