Hottest 100 of ALL TIME...

Triple J Hottest 100 of all time ended on sunday... It has so many great artists in it. I'm going to leave you with a review on Triple J's website about the winning song.

The song that revolutionised music. ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ began life as a Pixies pastiche and grew to embody the impotent rage of a generation. A tidal wave of incendiary riffs and Kurt’s coruscating rasp, it catapulted Nevermind to the top of charts around the world before ultimately becoming a millstone around the singer’s neck, often dropped from sets or performed discordantly.

Bikini Kill singer Kathleen Hanna once spray-painted ‘Kurt smells like Teen Spirit’ on his wall following a conversation about anarchy and punk. Unbeknown to Cobain, she meant he reeked of then girlfriend Tobi Vail, who wore ‘Teen Spirit’ deodorant – a product aimed at American girls with sparkly teeth and purdy hair; not exactly Nirvana’s target audience…

With disquiet at their fame already gnawing at the band, they gave an interview on triple j that presenter Jen Oldershaw thought was so bad she almost deleted it. The band wound up their host, fired back monosyllabic answers, talked randomly about sex with Pavarotti and made armpit jokes while Kurt attacked a mic socket with scissors.

They offer up one prophetic insight. “Can you seeing yourself combusting in a couple of years?” Jen asked. “Um… Who cares?,” Kurt replies. He did, though: on April 8, ’94, the singer’s body was found. He’d taken a shotgun to his head. Rock ‘n roll history was changed, forever.
