The Hottest 100 of Australian Songs may not have included Like A Version performances (they got their own countdown in 2023, to be fair), but a whole heap of tracks in the list have been covered in the triple j studios.
Over the last 20-odd years of Like A Version sound-tracking our Friday mornings, hundreds of songs have been covered. Among those include these 53 Australian tracks that you firmly believe are the best our country has ever produced. That's more than half of the countdown!
