Radio Oun Top 100 Songs of All Time Poll 2022

Today is the final day to get in your nominations for the Radio Oun Top 100 Songs of All Time Poll.  Scroll through your playlists and pick your favourites – there’s plenty to choose from.   The first phase is Nominations – you get to choose three songs that you would like to see in the Top 100.  The next phase is voting, where you will get to vote on not only the songs you nominated but also all the other submissions.

Choose ANY three songs of all time you would like to be in our top 100. Your mate with a recording studio and a nice tune, classic rock dinosaurs, the latest thumpers or previous highly placed locals like Kampot Playboys, Sochi & Stan, Ernie Buck or Joshua Chiang are all potentially in the mix.

Public voting will decide who makes it in the list. Submissions must not contain profanity, be less than 5 minutes in length and of professional broadcast quality. If your choice is obscure feel free to include YouTube links as well so we can make sure we use the correct version etc. We reserve the right to approve submissions.
