I think I agreed with two of those, which were Cee-Lo and Mike Patton.

oh, and Amy Winehouse of course

Also note that while they list Sam Duckworth's real name, Chan "Cat Power" Marshall is given no such privilege.

Hawley is cool.

Simonon is definitely cool (though didn't just suddenly become so by dossing around with Damon Albarn and wearing a hat).

That is all I have to say.

Well, exactly.

All I have to say is that Annie Hardy's ommision from this list is a travesty. Oh, and that I still think The Horrors are shit. Other than that I don't really mind.

I know Faris Rotter (actually it's Faris Badwan). He's quite nice, but i definitely wouldn't rate him as the second coolest person in music.

To miss the point uterley, I'd like to know what the fuck system they're using to work out who's cool - Amy Winehouse? Anything to do with panic at the disco? isn't he the one who looks a bit like a bow legged monkey his mum forces to wear a suit?

well - maybe I'm just not cool any more
