Starship and Journey Rock, I think Styx is definitely the most "un-cool"

U2's Bono acts as if--and probably thinks--he's the second coming of
Christ. The dude ought to get a grip. I don't think I've seen someone so full
of themselves before.

Well since Bon Jovi wasn't on that list my vote went to the Bay Sh**ty Rollers.

Out of those listed, I picked U2.  I would rather be sodomized with a rusty steel pole than be subjected to a full album of their material.

Starship is the worst. Loved the Airplane stuff, but "Built this City" is one of
those awful songs that get stuck repeating in my head for hours as soon as I
think about it. And now its starting, AAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIEEEEEE .....

U2 is the lamest band full of no talent pricks I've seen in my entire life.  The guitarist's nickname  "the edge" is a testament to how incredibly un-cool they are.  I hate Bono on a personal level and if I saw him in person I would beat the crap out of him and I'm dead serious.  Bono is so freakin lame and so is "the edge" who always wears a skullcap.  Seriously, they suck soo bad.  Everything about them from the "custom U2" red and black IPOD to the fact that they would think so much of themselves and overestimate their influence to the point that they would name their album "how to dismantle an atomic bomb" makes me cringe.   And Bono is a no talent hack who can't even play guitar, and just the name U2 is so incredibly lame it would even be lame if it was a boy band name, let alone a rock band, which they aren't.

Sinner, you totally jacked my avatar.

Oh yeah, and U2 is uncool- not to mention the fact The Edge totally dissed prog in Guitar World a couple of months ago.

Yeah, and what makes your "minimalistic" playing style or whatever it's called so much better?

Nothing.

Edge = Pwned

Are you sure about this?  As far as I can make out U2 have been cool for most of their career, whereas it's definitely not cool to listen to most the other bands.

Ehhh....... You think Neal Schon sucks, and the edge is a serious BAMF? Have you ever heard or seen schon play? He is an amazing guitarist!! Very underrated.

 

 

It is said to be the first Test-pressing of the corean release??

Judas Priest' music has influenced so many good metal bands out there, they are definately not uncool in that department.

Unlike U2, they don't think are the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Unfortunately, they have become a parody of themselves with the leather, studs, motorcycles etc.

Yes, KISS and other glam/hair bands are the same, but no one ever took them seriously.

There is too much in the film Rock Star that is true.

First of all, "cool" means absolutely nothing to me.  It's a completely useless term.

But, if there ever was an uncool band, it would have to be Milli Vanilli.

Cool or uncool does not mean good or bad. I love Judas Priest and I have every album they ever made. But I put them in there - I don't mind if somebody thinks they are not cool.

Yes Huey Lewis and Hootie might get a lot of votes.

If I cared for cool bands would be in the wrong forum.

Learn something once and forever:  PROG' IS NOT COOL, NEVER WAS AND PROBABLY NEVER WILL.

Not sure about that. There is an interesting discussion in another thread
about how Gong, Tangerine Dream etc. were maybe forerunners of todays
trance-ambient music which is super cool at the clubs and raves. If trance is
an offshoot of prog then prog is pretty cool.

 I think Marylin Manson is very uncool. His biggest hits are covers of 80's pop songs and his "own"

songs contain borrowed themes of David Bowie and Faith No More. He has not more vocal talents than I have.

 The whole MM thing is a hoax and I find it rather disgusting.
