So what do you think "person who did not vote in this"?

[Childish Gambino]

I voted in this, so clearly my opinion is not wanted

Happy Everlong cracked the top 10!

Sex On Fire making it made me beep my horn at some old people...not cool

[Head Detective Aaron Enigma]

I'm pretty down with that list. Some bands I think are probably most Australian-only because some of them I don't recognize at all, but overall a good mix.

[Cela]

No Kanye, I approve.

[thatguybayne]

I voted in this but none of my songs made the list so it's like I didn't really vote at all. 3 Pumpkins songs in the list makes me happy.

[G✇JI☈A]

Only two of the songs I voted for made the 100. But I'm pretty happy with the result.

The ones I voted for that made it:
Stinkfist - Tool
Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd

The ones that did not make it:
No Cars Go - Arcade Fire
Do You Realize?? - The Flaming Lips
Stockholm Syndrome - Muse
Like A Hurricane - Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Champagne Supernova - Oasis
Black - Pearl Jam
Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden
Rabbit In You Headlights - UNKLE

OK I was not expecting UNKLE and Arcade Fire to make it but I thought the rest were significant enough to rank.

[Oak: Certified Jade Hater]

The Verve in the Top 20? I'm okay with it.

Though, and this is just the idiot in me, I would have LOVED Oasis' "F***ing In The Bushes" in the countdown. Yeah, bad language and whatnot, but that song gets you pumped.

Triple J don't worry about language. When Closer by Nine Inch Nails and Killing In The Name by Rage Against the Machine got in they played the uncut album versions.

[thesam07]

I voted for;
Frank Zappa - City Of Tiny Lights
Frank Zappa - Montana
Frank Zappa - Peaches En Regalia
Frank Zappa - Uncle Remus
Frank Zappa - Willie The Pimp
Men at Work - Overkill
Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal
Monty Python - Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life
TISM - Death Death Death
Regurgitator - ! (the Song Formerly Known As)

I am pretty certain that none of those songs made the top 100.

[4real]

Thats a really cool list, you Aussies have good taste!

[The Lach is very tired]

Surprised Joy Division is so high up. I did vote for it though so yay me!

My list was

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Oasis - Wonderwall
AC/DC - Long Way To The Top
Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
Metallica - Master Of Puppets
Skyhooks - Livin' In The 70's
Crowded House - Don't Dream It's Over
Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Offspring - Come Out N Play

[Samoa Kenny]

Maybe I don't know as much about Australian music as I think I do, but I'm surprised The Living End didn't dominate

[Clarence "Showstealer" Mason]

I'm biased heavily here considering I hate the guy so much but two Jeff Buckley songs in the top 7 in my opinion makes this list loose any semblance of credibility.

And Sex on Fire in front of Kashmir? Yeah Triple J is dead

[Wolfaga]

Let alone I'm not austrailian, I love aussie artists such as Pendulum, MAMMAL, Karnivool and Gotye (who was the only one which got in, surprisingly). Just surprising they didn't add as more as they did.

Killing in the name @ no.2 just surprises me all in itself.

[Gopher Mod]

Compared to most lists in the States, that is an insanely good list.

Wish I could have done the Top 10 myself.

[dynamicduo]

Meh! So Teen Spirit is better than anything the Beatles, Stones, Zep, and FLoyd ever did? No thanks.
