Guest DustyDeviada Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 One of my favourite acts is Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler, neither of whom have ever been "cool" with snobby critics and the NME. But I don't care.Who are your favourite "uncool" acts? Come on all you Def Leppard fans, let's hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

framheim Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 creedence are cool aren't they? i always thought they were kinda cool anyway. i love creedence.i'd say tom petty was probably my favourite uncool act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DustyDeviada Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I forgot' date=' The Travelling Wilburys[/quote']One of my faves too, I recently got Volume 3, and while it's not as good as volume 1, it's better than just about everything else.There's a whole heap of Wilbury's related music from that period, including the Tom Petty/Roy Orbison/George Harrison albums that were all produced by Jeff Lynne that sound amazing, but are seriously uncool never the less.

I put those because they have all been questioned by people in the past when I have expressed my liking for them. I am looking forward to the Rick Rubin produced Diamond album.

Guest DustyDeviada Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Nsync' date=' Britney Spears... the current "Now 62" (which I stole from someone's computer) erm... a lot of 80's junk. The Bravery... are Duran Duran uncool? They're a fucking sweet deal if you ask me.[/quote']I'd say The Bravery are probably cool, Duran Duran are cool in an ironic way.NME Journo type #1: "I went to see Duran Duran at Wembley, god I was caned off my tits but we had a fucking great time singing along to Rio."NME Journo type #2: "Free tickets?"NME Journo type #1: "Yep."
