Triple j's Special Hottest 100!

What Are the Hottest 100 Songs of the Last Twenty Years? You Decide.

It's been 20 whole years since the first annual Hottest 100 countdown began, and to celebrate, Triple J wants to know - what are your favourite songs of the last 20 years?

From Tuesday you'll have 20 days to vote for your favourite 20 songs of the last 20 years. They don't have to be songs that appeared in past Hottest 100 countdowns. Any song from 1 January 1993 - 31 December 2012 is eligible. Vote and you could be heading overseas - to anywhere in the world - to see your favourite artist from the last 20 years play. Voting is open from Tuesday 14 May - Sunday 2 June.

Get some inspiration from the Triple J website, where artists including Bernard Fanning, Ben Folds, Suffa from the Hilltop Hoods, Tame Impala, Adalita, The Drones, Flight Facilities, Urthboy and more fill you in on their favourite music from the last 20 years - what they were listening to, what gigs they were at, the seminal albums, the seminal haircuts - and stacks more. Did you know Bernard Fanning's girlfriend punched out a skinhead in 1993? Check out past countdowns at the Hottest 100 archives site and soak up the music history. What songs are in there that, in hindsight, shouldn't be (and does Denis Leary's Arsehole really deserve to be #1 again?). And what are the notable exceptions?

Starting Tuesday, each day Triple J be playing the top 20 songs from a Hottest 100 countdown to jog your memory, inspire you, and maybe even play some songs you haven't heard. Listen to Tom & Alex each morning to find out what year will be on air that day. Join Zan Rowe and Lewi McKirdy on weekdays, and Sarah Howells and Max Lavergne on weekends.

If that's not enough tunes for you, you can re-acquaint yourself with all 20 Hottest 100 countdowns on the special pop up radio station ABC Extra, where Triple J be playing every song that's made it in to the Hottest 100 lists over the last 2 decades. Listen on your digital radio, stream it online, or on your mobile via the ABC radio app, from Tuesday 14 May - Friday 7 June.
