Australia Day. While indeed a day of controversy, for most it’s a day to celebrate all things Aussie: snags, VBs, thongs, the Southern Cross and so on. This also includes the annual tradition of blasting out triple j’s Hottest 100 wherever your day takes you.

Obviously Kendrick Lamar made a bigger impact then any of us at Hysteria thought (even Hersey – ed.), given that he showed up several times in the list. But what about the artists that didn’t get the credit they deserved?

Well here is our Hyst List for the artists we think were robbed of their rightful spot in the triple j Hottest 100.

Disclaimer : We are including artists that may have been in the 101-200 list, because really who even checks that list?

WAAX

Just some Brisbane legends making bangers left, right, and centre.

The Bennies

Glassy-eyed goodness! How did they not get a gong? Did all y’all stoners forget to vote? (Don’t answer that)

Northlane

Yeah no worries, can win an ARIA but not good enough for triple j?

Sløtface

Norwegian punk band. That is all.

Clowns

How is it possible that Lucid Again got no recognition?

Polaris

There used to be a time where triple j would have smashed out a metal masterpiece like this in their top 100 picks no wokken forries m8. But…nuh.
