Like A Version
ring out from my parent’s radio. Now, after almost 20 years of the iconic segment, the radio station has decided to honour the covers of our past by doing a Hottest 100 countdown of the 100 best performances of all time.
The countdown will take place at 12:00pm AEST on July 15 so tell your mates and mark it in your calendars because there’s no better excuse for a gatho than this, if you ask me.
Since the segment’s launch in 2004, there’s been countless memorable covers that slap, mash ups that vibe and honestly cooked renditions that never should have been attempted in the first place.
And thankfully, in the lead up to the countdown, triple j have released their of covers on their website. But it’s not just so you can take a walk down memory lane.
Voting for triple j’s Hottest 100 kicks off on May 23 and closes on July 10. And let me tell ya, there’s a lot to get through, so start listening now and take note of your faves.
Fingers crossed that make the top 20. But until then, I’d like to share with you a few of my favourite and most ridiculous covers from Like A Version renditions over the years. I’ll let you discern which is which.
God, doesn’t that just take you back?
I can’t wait to see if any of these bangers will land in the countdown.
