Comrade Kingsmille’s People’s Radio’s 100 Most Esteemed Propaganda Musics of All Time Countdown

I am currently compiling my list of 10 songs to submit to Triple J Hottest 100 of all time, and for inspiration I had a look at the Hottest 100 lists from 1989 to 2008. And WOW!? There are so many great songs to choose from. Including such classic tracks as:

Crazy Town - Butterfly (2001, #8)
The Androids - Do it with Madonna (2002, #54)
Chaka Demus and the Pliers - Tease Me (1993, #47)
The Sharp - Scratch my back (1993, #63)
East 17 - Deep (1993, #78)
and Alien Ant Farm’s unforgettable version of Smooth criminal (2001, #6)

It gets better. Those critically-acclaimed legends of illustrious talent, Limp Bizkit, have graced the Hottest 100 three times. That’s right, THREE FREAKING TIMES!!!!!!! (with one song even reaching the top 10!!):
My generation (2000, #21)
Take a look around (2000, #27)
and Nookie (1999, #8)

Other note-worthy entries include:
Peter Helliar - Bevan the musical (1999, #35)
Wheatus - Teenage dirtbag (2000, #4)
28 Days - Rip it up (2000, #11)
and Pauline Pantsdown - Back door man (1997, #5)

But let’s not forget the song that reached number one in 1998, and defined a generation with its timeless brilliance:
The Offspring - Pretty fly (for a white guy) (1998, #1)
