... or Hottest 100 votes, if you like (though many of my votes will obviously never make it).

Firstly, I accept that I didn't keep up with new music very well this year (as with last year and the year before that and so on).

My picks, in short ...

Abbe May - Design Desire
Ben Folds - Get Sleazy (Ke$ha cover)
Emperors - Plastic Guns
Radiohead - Give up the Ghost
San Cisco - Golden Revolver
Simone & Girlfunkle - Heart Goes Pitter Patter
The Gizzards - I Can Haz Cheezburger
Them Swoops - Too Fast For Love
Foxx on Fire - March into the Sun

In full ...

How about yourself?

[rap panther]

What do they think is going to win the Hottest 100?

[Mrb]

At $1.04 to win, I think it's pretty obvious

[rap panther]

I wish you included the answer in that reply. Now I'll never know.

[Andrew]

Speaking of THAT song. Has everyone this cover of it?



Pretty clever. If you can handle listening to the song again, give it a look.

[Chad Burger]

Yr a good man Andrew.

Wait, hang on... no chance of it getting in??!   **dreams of hottest 100 victory crushed**

[Andrew]

Yeah, sorry to be the one to break that to you

[The Bronze]

That "up, down, C'MAHN... MORE ENERGY!" song has to be up there - the sort of track that really stands the test of time.

[Chaircat Meow]

I wonder if the new Unearthed online radio will make an impact on getting any smaller bands into the 100? I heard at an industry seminar years ago that big record companies budget for teams of people to make hundreds of fake votes, because this thing sells mega records

[The Bronze]

Can understand that - if tracks in the top 20 aren't already getting high commercial rotation, they usually are following the countdown.

[Chaircat Meow]

Yep I should have said 1000's not hundreds of votes though. It's a good investment, people lap it up like hot cakes

When do we talk about our "Fave Songs [of] 2011" then, eh?

[Lickerr]

I've been listening to more old music than new, but anyway... in no particular order:

Never. This thread is reserved for people who want to talk about Fave Songs 2011. If you can't accept that and want to bring in your "of"s like a high and mighty of-laden carrier pigeon, than I suggest you leave immediately.

Captain Industry. Good name for a Captain Planet villain. I guess it'd be pretty much the same as Captain Pollution. Maybe they could fight along side each other.
