On the 8-9th June 2013 Australian radio station Triple J, had their Hottest 100 of the Past 20 Years. Inspired by this, I decided to come up with my own Hottest 100 of the Past 20 Years.
In coming up with this list I did have some ground rules:
- One song per artist
- Songs released from 1993-2012 were eligible
- A maximum five songs from each year
- No kowtowing to the obvious
- This list will be a combination of what I knew at the time and what I discovered at a later date
- Effort will be made to differentiate this list from the previous one for the sake of not repeating myself
