Plenty of the songs on your list made the JJJ's Hottest 100 that year, with some made it in the 1998 & 2000 lists.

Below are the ranks next to your list:

As you can see, JJJ played plenty of the songs you liked from that era back in the day. I'd imagine the station would've been much more listenable then than what it is now.

That's interesting, I haven't actually looked through the Hottest 100 charts from the '90s in much detail before, so it's interesting to see that many of the songs I like from 1999 made it onto the chart that year. I agree that Triple J would have been much more listenable back then compared to now, the '90s in general were a great time for music.

Just sticking with this topic, do you like any songs from 1999?

I'm with you on that, even though I didn't listen to the station back then.

I like a few of them, mainly of the rock/alternative variety, such as from the likes of Killing Heidi ("Weir"), Red Hot Chili Peppers ("Scar Tissue" reached #10 on JJJ's Hottest 100 of 1999), Powderfinger, Regurgitator & The Living End, among a number of others.

Another song that made the Hottest 100 in 1999 was "Never Had So Much Fun" by Frenzal Rhomb, which reached #26. The band's lead guitarist, Lindsay "The Doctor" McDougall, now does the local Drive program on ABC Illawarra at 3-6pm weekdays.

You've picked some good choices.

I forgot about "Scar Tissue" actually, that's another song from 1999 which I enjoy listening to.

I didn't actually know that! Did the members of Frenzal Rhomb come from the Illawarra or did Lindsay McDougall just happen to take up a role in the media down here?

Looking forward to reading them! I'm actually quite enjoying looking through the charts and making lists out of my favourite songs, so expect to see a bunch more of these threads created within the next few days.

According to Wikipedia, Frenzal Rhomb was formed at Newtown in Sydney, and Lindsay McDougall grew up in Sydney. He moved down (in other words, made a "sea change") to the Illawarra region when he became ABC Illawarra's drive presenter in January 2018.

Well, 2 months after the promise, I've finally completed covering a few years! (still many to go...)

Anyway, I like 1999. Although I don't have strong feelings towards it, I still geniunely adore many releases from this year. Pretty cool and creative year for pop and electronic, even if not quite as good as 1998.

1. Alice Deejay - "Better Off Alone"
2. Sugar Ray - "Someday"
3. Shania Twain - "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!"
4. Lene Marlin - "Sitting Down Here"
5. Britney Spears - "(You Drive Me) Crazy" (The single remix, the album version is pretty limp in comparison)

6. Blink-182 - "What's My Age Again?"
7. Marc Anthony - "I Need to Know"
8. Lit - "My Own Worst Enemy"
9. Backstreet Boys - "I Want it That Way"
10. Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Scar Tissue"

11. Céline Dion - "That's the Way It Is"
12. Ricky Martin - "Livin' la vida loca"
13. Len - "Steal My Sunshine"
14. Korn - "Freak on a Leash"
15. TLC - "No Scrubs"

16. Macy Gray - "I Try"
17. Mariah Carey - "Heartbreaker"
18. Wamdue Project - "King of My Castle"
19. Jennifer Lopez - "Waiting for Tonight"
20. Fatboy Slim - "Praise You"
