There's been so much Hottest 100 related news lately, (the date changing, Warmest 100 predictions, Big Shaq being eligible) that it could be forgiven if you've not yet finalised your top ten.
Never fear, because a bunch of huge acts have today let triple j peek into their musical mind by sharing their top 10 songs from 2017, in the hopes of getting your voting juices flowing.
Countdown sure-things, Gang of Youths popped up on Julia Stone and Amy Shark’s list but lead singer Dave Le'aupepe vouched Paul Kelly’s Life Is Fine for his top spot.
“There was never a purer and more fitting song that distils how I feel about the world and about life itself,” Le'aupepe said in a statement.

Marika Hackman’s Boyfriend beguiled alt-J this year with the band gifting her with their top spot, while also giving a shout out to Father John Misty’s Pure Comedy, a track that also made an appearance on Sydney songstress, Meg Mac’s, top ten.
Dune Rats, predictably, shouted out their mates, DZ Deathray's Total Meltdown as their number one; but, less predictably, the track also showed up on Ali Barter’s choice tunes.
Musicians are vibing the solo female singers, with Lorde and Lana Del Rey getting multiple nods and Julia Stone citing Angie McMahon’s Slow Mover as her favourite song of the year.
“I remember hearing this song for the first time and being totally captivated by the sound of her voice and the lyrics,” Stone said in a statement.
“The way she tells the story it just had a natural and lovely feeling about it and it just made me really want to listen.”
Here's a couple of the full lists to get your brain a'ticking.
