JJJ hottest 100 of all time

it's been a while since JJJ did their last hottest 100 of all time. from memory i think we could only vote for one song at that time. my vote went to 'smells like teen spirit' and it came in at number one. needless to say i was a happy camper. it's come time again to vote for our favourite songs and this time we're able to vote for ten songs whilst nominating one of them as the best. obviously narrowing all of the songs ever written down to the ten best is impossible: i find it hard enough choosing a top ten for each year. still, i've done my best and i've no doubt there will be plenty of people who'll disagree with me:

The Church - Almost With You
Depeche Mode - Blasphemous Rumours
The Hummingbirds - Blush
The Killers - Mr Brightside
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
The Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The Devil
Sex Pistols - God Save The Queen
Bob Dylan - Like A Rolling Stone
Billy Bragg - Levi Stubbs' Tears
Showbag - Perish Union

i had to nominate one of the songs as my favourite so that went to 'smells like teen spirit'. i should also note that it was very hard cutting 'that joke isn't funny anymore' by the smiths out of the final ten so that was a very unlucky number eleven. we'll soon see how few of my choices make the final cut.

Don't the Beatles crack a mention?

not quite. 'i am the walrus', 'strawberry fields forever', 'happiness is a warm gun', 'yesterday', 'something' and 'a day in the life' were all on my short list but got squeezed out
