A load of fucking bullshit, it's really not about music anymore is it? Cool isn't dressing up like some scene retard, whether it be punk/disco/chav/emo/indie/urban, and yet that list is full of a load of those wankers. Bleh, I dunno, I was going to ignore it all since I read it when NME was released (fear not, I don't buy it, I read it for free at work and get a good chortle),

I don't hate on NME, I hate on the art-fags they insist on continually insist on printing and acting like a bit of glitter, make up and some 'stylish' dress sense make you a quality musician.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Gerard Way higher than Mike Patton?

PRIORITIZE, NIGGAZ>

[K]

By name, I know exactly fifteen of those. So NME would think I was uncool... which I think makes me cool.

Edit: They chose Beth Ditto because she's Non-Conformist? Is that what they call it nowadays? I call it Fat and Gay and living next door to Cloudy.

Edit 2: Reading up on the Horrors.. they don't even have an album? And their live show is six songs long. How can you be cool with only six songs?

This shit sucks. None of those people are cool. I'm going to make my own cool list, with Lemmy and hookers.

She's fat, gay AND fights for gay rights! zOMG! Oh and of course, she had a 'horrid childhood', but hers was different because she 'was' white trash. And now she wears lots of make up and dresses way too small for her! With stripes or polkadots!

And Mike Patton?!

On second thought, forget Lemmy.

Ahh, Forget the whole thing.

I know it's Futurama and all... but how could you say that about Lemmy

[Hardcore Weapon Smasher]

I don't know Beth Ditto. I must be the most uncool guy on the planet.

[Summers]

Being on the NME Cool List is like being on the World's Uncool list.

JAAAAARVIIIIIIIIS

JAAAAARVIIIIIIIIS

JAAAAARVIIIIIIIIS

Shoulda won.

[TheCrippler]

The NME is like the ultimate in post modern ironic self parody, only it doesn't even know it's doing it.

[Iain76er]

48 Cat Power

36 Mike Patton

34 Lupe Fiasco

26 Keith Richards, The Rolling Stones

25 Jay-Z

18 Carl Barat, Dirty Pretty Things

12 Liam Gallagher, Oasis

11 Paul Simonon, 'The Good, The Bad & The Queen'

They're the guys I'd consider to be cool on that list.

Thom Yorke!? Really? He'll never ever be cool. Ever.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Jarvis is fantastic, but he'd hate being on this list.

'Cool' lists show that NME itself ain't cool.

Girlie mags like Sugar and Bliss do cool lists...

[NobBe Nobbs]

Who ARE all these people?

[Skummy]

Mike Patton, Jarvis Cocker, Karen O, Eugene Hutz and Vincent Vincent are all that stop this list being ghey.

There's the cliff.

Go jump.

Now.

[METALMAN]

But he is Radiohead!

I haven't heard of most of those guys. Personally I was hoping Pete Doherty and Carl Barat to get high positions. Paul McCartney also needs to be there!

[Skummy]

Radiohead aren't cool, though.
