Okay people, I know at least a few of you are listening to this and no doubt a few even bothered to vote.

List what you voted for and where it came, and how about you try to guess as many top ten songs as you can, including the number 1.

  • M.I.A - Paper Planes
    I like the chorus, so shoot me[/pun]
  • Regina Spektor - Real Love 29
    Pure awesome song, should make early teens
    Well ********, it made it to 29 as I was typing this out. Further proof people suck.

  • Angus & Julia Stone - Wasted 31
    Kinda disappointed this did so badly, only 31, but good solid song.
  • Cat Empire - No Longer There 62
    So Many Nights is less sombre, but buggerit, I like the Cat Empire and I like this song.
  • Chemical Brothers - The Salmon Dance 21
    This will be top 10, probably top 3. You watch.
    You go watch me be completely wrong.

  • Cog - What If 47
    About what I expected it to place, stupid lyrics but nice tune.
  • Feist - 1234 34
    How the bloody hell did this not make top ten?
  • Jose Gonzalez - Down The Line 72
    This one doing badly just goes to show that people have no taste.
  • Soko - I'll Kill Her
    Top ten material 3nodding
  • Sonata Arctica - My Dream's But a Drop of Fuel for a Nightmare
    Token pointless vote for song with amusing title from one of my favourite's band's worst albums.


As for the top ten. . .
  • Silverchair - Straight Lines
  • Soko - I'll Kill Her
  • Chemical Brothers - The Salmon Dance 21
    Okay, I just don't understand how this didn't at least make top 20
  • The Signal - Urthboy
  • British India - Russian Roulette
  • Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip - Thou Shalt Always Kill
  • Kanye West - Stronger 20
    I really am not good at this, although this is the first Kanye West song, so no doubt something else of his will get ranked higher.
  • Operator Please - Just A Song About Ping Pong 27
    And I'm wrong again, but I'm not too fussed, it's a crappy song.
    Let's change this vote to Muscles - Sweaty

  • John Butler Trio - Used To Get High 22
    Looks like I'm wrong here too.
  • Powderfinger - Lost and Running 15


I can't think of anything else right now that will make the top 10, got a nice big mental blank and I'm a little pissed off that Real Love is 29.

EDIT: Had a brain wave, now you have my bet for the top 10 in no particular order.

Boy do I suck at predicting, but on the plus side, Straight Lines came in at number 2! That makes me happy because it means they didn't win lol

Straight Lines came #2 and #1 was a song who's main source of exposure was being in Guitar Hero 3.

Pretty much sums it up doesn't it? So many good songs this year and most of them didn't break the 20 mark.

I voted for those Feist and Cat Empire songs too. I also voted for Clare Bowditch & The Feeding Set and Sarah Blasko. Um, and I think Tegan and Sara, Arctic Monkeys...

Well I voted for Karnivool, Muse, The Cat Empire and The Butterfly Effect. I can't really remember what others I voted for. I'm not sure if I can find out either. Meeeh.

It was weird this year. A lot of songs I thought would do well didn't really (e.g. Feist and Salmon Dance) And then there were hardly any artists getting multiple songs in (E.G, expected M.I.A, Chemical Brothers, Klaxons etc to get at least 2 in). Still wasn't too bad though. Any year Powderfinger don't win is a good year for me.

And jeez, with a prize like what they were offering, you'd be an idiot NOT to vote.

here were my votes

Mars Volta - Wax Simulacra
Arcade Fire - No Cars Go (81)
Menomena - Wet And Rusting
Klaxons - Two Receivers
Bloc Party - Hunting For Witches (24)
Jamie T - Sheila
Bright Eyes - Four Winds
Chemical Brothers - The Salmon Dance (21)
Digitalism - Pogo (69)
Snowman - Swimming With Sharks

Pogo got in so I was happy.

Scott, the list is in your confirmation email from the website.

Mars Volta didn't make it?

I think the problem this year was too many options.

Also, I really regret not setting up some massive campaign to vote for Still Alive from Portal. It would have been awesome if it won xd

Mars Volta never make it sad

Or maybe they did once with Inertiatic ESP, but not in recent years, even with an increasing fan base.
