Triple J Hottest 100 Vol. 17 Rundown

Hey guys, this week I don't have a new album to review, so I thought I would do a little showcase on the latest Triple J Hottest 100, Volume 17. So, if you are unfamilar with how it works,every Australia day Triple J counts down the top 100 tracks and then puts a whole bunch of them on a 2 discs and sell them. These are really great compilations and they feature alot of really good music. This years does not dissapoint.

WHY IT'S SUPER COOL

This compilation has some really awesome songs on it, from radio favourites Little Lion Man by Mumford and Sons and Bonkers by Dizzee Rascal to Indie tracks like Animal by Miike Snow and dance tracks like Warp 1.9 by The Bloody Beetroots. Beyond these big radio hitters, you got some other really awesome songs on here. For example, Ramona Was A Waitress by Paul Dempsey is a really charming track about a waitress that knows everything and Home by Edwarde Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros which is a very cute alt-country/indie track. The SA favourites The Hilltop Hoods make an appearance with Chase That Feeling as well as Aussie hard rockers Karnivool with their intense anti-society track Set Fire to the Hive. There is such a great spread of genres and bands that it makes for a really good buy.
