Every year Triple J (a radio station in Australia) does its list of
the hottest 100 songs of the year, as voted by its listeners.
However, one year it decided to do get its listeners to vote for the
Hottest 100 Songs of All Time.
What is the list of these 100 songs, in order?
Actually it does currently exist on the Triple J web site, just not linked to...
