From the 7th to the 12th of July 2009 Australian radio station Triple J, had their Hottest 100 of the All Time. Inspired by this, I decided to come up with my own Hottest 100 of All Time.
In coming up with this list I did have some ground rules:
- One song per artist
- Anything released before 2009 was eligible
- 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
