100. Jebediah - Harpoon

With Beck - Loser as the #101 song. About A Girl would be #65 if it were eligible, and Killing in the Name and Creep for Top 10 if they were eligible.

Notes:

* I have cited a variety of sources to make this list, and there are several songs that were originally there that I kicked.
* Most likely there'll be a bolter here. Is Bloc Party - Helicopter close enough?
* Songs worth considering to make it:
- Sex on Fire - Kings of Leon (made the 2009 All-Time Hottest 100. It doesn't make this list as it probably only made it due to name recognition from winning the 2008 countdown, and has faded into obscurity)
- Grace and Lover, You Should've Come Over - Jeff Buckley (made the 1998 and the 2009 All-Time Hottest 100. They don't make this list as Jeff Buckley seems to be receiving less support this time around, but maybe his supporters are older and don't really use Facebook or Twitter)
- Other (What's The Story) Morning Glory singles (it would not surprise me if any of Morning Glory, Don't Look Back In Anger and Champagne Supernova - Oasis make the list, but I'm not picking them)
- Cannonball - The Breeders (tipped to do well earlier, but I haven't seen a lot of votes for this. I suppose it is older though....)
- Bloodbuzz Ohio - The National (The National has quite a bit of support, this is the only song that really has a shot)
- Tossed up between Leaving Home and Harpoon for Jebediah, so Leaving Home could be close.
- Another Foo Fighters single could be close.
- Shimmer and Pretty Fly (For A White Guy) are potential bolters it seems.

Ask me further questions about potential bolters.

Hope you all enjoy the countdown.
