Over the last decade Triple J radio, the 'youth' network, has ended each year with their Hottest 100, voted by their massive audience of young Australians. The mix of international and local acts is usually close to 50/50 proving the station's support -through airplay - of Aussie acts. The end result is a clear indication of musical trends and what's 'cool' in alternative music around the globe. This year 'The Js' have crammed the best music of the past decade into one box set with 9 discs. This is like an alternative music time capsule. Listening to the discs you'll see the development of major acts from their early beginnings to super-stardom and have a few melancholy moments with the music of bands that have come and gone.
