With five New Zealand singles in the Top 40 this week, local music is arguably more prolific than ever having overcome its cultural cringe status of the 90s.
Yet some of the most popular Kiwi tunes remain tracks from 20 years ago.
In 2001 APRA release a list of the top 100 New Zealand songs of all time, with Fourmyula's Nature taking the top spot.
Crowded House made number two with Don't Dream It's Over, while Dave Dobbyn's anthemic Loyal rounded out the top three.
Six years on, have things changed? Undoubtedly, more local music has been produced, but is it any good?
We asked you to send us your picks for New Zealand's greatest songs so we could compile them and put the most commonly nominated to a poll for you to select the top ten rankings.
