Every year, while our sister station counts down the Hottest 100, on Double J we relive the countdown from 20 years ago.

It’s a wild trip down memory lane, and a reminder of the music that has stood the test of time, and the songs you’d completely forgotten about (sometimes, for good reason).

As we readied to live in the 2002 countdown once again, I thought it’d be fun to invite some of triple j’s most beloved presenters from that time. And people who – just like us listeners – were getting their start at their first jobs. Wil Anderson, Myf Warhurst, Charlie Pickering, Rosie Beaton, and Adam Spencer.

From wild nights out turning into mornings on air, to scratch n’ sniff triple j tees, dive into some iconic memories from these absolute legends, and the singular workplace many of them got their start.

• Adam Spencer: Salmon Hater - 6.66
• Myf Warhurst: Missy Elliott – Work It
• Charlie Pickering: The Streets – Don’t Mug Yourself 
• Rosie Beaton: Silverchair – The Greatest View
• Wil Anderson: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – Whatever Happened to My Rock N Roll?
