Don't worry, by next year most of them will have sunk into complete obscurity again, and in a lot of cases deservedly so.

Don't believe me? Just look at the number of new entries in this year's chart! Only three people who were cool last year, still are. What a fickle business.

Coolness is in the eye of the beholder.
It's more of a list of people that the readers have been led to believe are cool, by the NME. For this week at least.

And Liam Gallagher's second. Does anyone think this may be rigged, like when Tony Blair was voted Personallity of the Year? :suspect:

Funnily enough the list was voted by the NME writers, not the readers.

Which probably makes it even more suspect.

Excellent for the Arctic Monkeys! :thumbsup:

Not a bad line-up - but where's Nicky Wire? Or Mick Jones? Or Johnny Marr? :suspect:

Questions must be asked.....

Come on, admit it, Robbie - you're only peeved because you're not on the List!

I thought you'd be delighted that Alex Turner's at no 1? :confused:

Is it just me or is a load of geeky music journos deciding that you are the coolest man on the planet just a little uncool?
