Artists who wish to submit their own music for awareness during Hottest 100 voting period should not use language which directly persuades others to vote for them and should also follow Reddit's guidelines for self-promotion.

What is the best and worst concert you've seen and why?

For me,the best was Iron Maiden and worst was Blink 182.

Please help me find this song!!!

Ok, this is going to be one of those annoying 'do you know the name of the song that goes dum de dum dum bloopedy bloop' posts (sorry) but this has been driving me crazy for two decades and I'm hoping that Reddit detectives can help me out!

There was a song that Jane Gazzo in particular was fond of playing on Triple J in the late 90s but I don't know what it's called. The song featured female vocalists singing a chorus of 'we are clean' or 'we are queens' or something like that and it had some synthwave elements, but I've never been able to find it... any fellow Gen Xers/90s Triple J listeners have any idea what it could be?

Farewell Bryce

Just finished listening in Brissy, man oh man feeing a little emotional. I know the guy has his haters but for me, the Ebony, Bryce and Dave trio was easily the best since Matt and Alex. They were presenting at a time which was fucking hard for so many people and hearing them all again, especially Ebony, was so good.

What’s your favourite memory of Bryce as he goes off to do whatever he’s gonna do next?

Has Triple J been dumbed down?

When I was growing up I used to listen to Triple J. It had people like John Safran and Doctor Karl on it. A wide range of music from different eras was played. It twas educational.

I don't listen to it anymore but from what I hear it's more Kyle Sandlands tier idiotic drivel, and they play Mariah Carey type music. Is this true? If it is, what happened?

Just wondering what’s a good alternative to people missing out on a car pass, as I feel like many have missed out including myself & my mate. Festival seems pretty hard going with out one. Anyone know a good forum to try & find some car passes too?

Album of the Year

Prior to last year Triple J used to do an album poll. Don't know if they're doing one this year, but chuck in your top 3. Maybe a caveat of mandatory (ok not mandatory but do try) minimum 1 Australian artist and minimum 1 female artist.

Please note I will not be counting scores, just listening to the ones I might have missed.

FWIW mine is Middle Kids - Faith Crisis pt 1 Glass Animals - I Fucking love you so much Hockey Dad - Rebuild Repeat

Conspicuous absences from Hottest 100 shortlist

I'm a longtime Hottest voter, but I still don't understand the eligibility for the shortlist.

Can someone explain to me why two of the biggest songs of the year - Too Sweet and Espresso - aren't there? I could have sworn they were both aired on JJJ during the time frame.

Neither song is my usual taste, but I was probably going to vote for Hozier...

Which Aussie artist do you wish Triple J would play more?

With the hottest 100 rolling around for another year and the top 10 betting markets stacked with foreign artists, it got be thinking about whether Triple J are doing enough to promote Aussie talent. My take is that they're still doing an 'ok' effort but could be better.

Which artists do you want to see them play more of? I was thinking DON WEST, A. Swayze & The Ghosts, Offthewally, Rum Jungle and Lemonade Baby for me. What y'all think?

How do you usually come across music outside radio, virality and friends sharing music? How often do you randomly stumble up bands, artists and music in general, like randomly coming across them or having them come up in a playlist etc.?

I think I stumbled upon Ginger Root randomly on Youtube months back, and Lawrence randomly on Youtube years ago before it felt like anyone here knew them.

And now I'm wondering, how do others come across a lot of artists that tour here that aren't getting airplay on Triple J or get some kind of Viral moment/s like Joey Valence & Brae, Connor Price, Crash Adams,Stacey Ryan for example?

Do most people find these artists from them popping up on Social Media or are there other avenues I have no clue about?

A lot of new music I find from searching for something else on Youtube or Spotify or it coming up as a suggestion on Youtube, which I always tend to click on.

But are there other avenues I don't know of?
