AG, I'd take Nick Cave for leading Aussie at $7.
The Ship Song will be high, while Into My Arms could also get a lot of votes.

But...then again this is a new generation of music lovers, many of whom will say Nick who? So sadly Presets is also a good bet.

Think i heard / read somewhere that the Living End is the band with the most songs in the hottest 100's over the 20 years. Which could mean they have some pretty die hard fans so $15 could be value. But really tho it looks to be impossible to predict.

Really hard to see it not being Smells Like Teen Spirit from that list but if absolutely pressed, would think that Sweet Child O' Mine wouldn't be absolutely out of the question at the $67.

Not that I think there is anything wrong with The Presets, but there should be some clause that you can't vote for anything released in the last two years, so that votes aren't riding on recent success and popularity. This Top 100 is all about 'staying power' IMO.

As for trying to punt seriously on it - forget it.

'Video killed the radio star' looks a bit of value

Imagine is often referred to as the greatest song ever written......

Wasn't 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' No.1 last time around? Would hardly suprise if it was again, but who knows how people are going to vote. Will they vote in similar fashion, or simply decide to go for something else this time around?

Just realised that was over ten years ago, seemed so much more recent.

Here's the Top 20 from the 1998 Poll:

1 Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
2 Hunters & Collectors - Throw Your Arms Around Me
3 Pearl Jam - Alive
4 Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye
5 Radiohead - Creep
6 Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven
7 Metallica - One
8 Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
9 Metallica - Enter Sandman
10 Pearl Jam - Black
11 U2 - One
12 Marilyn Manson - Beautiful People
13 Radiohead - Paranoid Android
14 Nine Inch Nails - Closer
15 Violent Femmes - Blister In The Sun
16 Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
17 Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name
18 Living End - Prisoner Of Society
19 Faith No More - Epic
20 Blink-182 - Dammit

Im putting my hard earned on Agadoo with some place bets on Check out the Chicken and Star Trekkin'.
Easy money!

surfin bird for mine....after its popularity sky rocketed since it was on a popular cartoon

I wont be betting on this... how can you bet on the outcome of a poll which isn't a true indication of the public. 1 person could vote 10,000 times, and 9,999 could vote once.

Elections are different, because each person gets 1 vote.

But not crap like this, or big brother, or Idol, SYTYCD, TBL, DWTS - all those phone/web vote crap things.

And its a given some dodgy internet community will try to get a long shot to win by stacking the vote.

Catch My Disease - Ben Lee 251.00

Lets all vote for this... swine flu reference and easy money

Ha ha ha.... might have a small wager on the favourite for interests sake - especially after AG made me plenty with Kings of Leon in this years count...

smells like teen spirit into $1.80

and it wins....

Hilltip Hoods not even mentioned for Top Placed Aussie Act, and it only came in at 17
