NME Cool List 2006: Are you in it?

and how do they actually decide this list? what defines coolness? i think its stoopid

</bitter that im not in it>

Isn't she like a fat bird who likes to growl at the badger???

How very 2006.

GIRL POWER!!!

and about time too

It has that spasticface from the horrors at number 2.

11 damn years

result.

is the bloke from the Fratellis really called Mince? As that's slang for "rubbish", it seems hilariously apt

too cool for any of those fucking shits. And Brandon Flowers? A bad photocopy of what a marketing company thinks is indie. Serge Pizzorno? Inter-band rivalry starts here, Tom is the cool fucker in that band, serge is incapable of putting a sentence together. Props to Paul Simonon though, he wears nice stuff which is what cool is about

for making me laugh at 4.45 on a Tuesday.

I'm the closest to commiting suicide I have ever been. What a DREADFUL load of shit. Embarrasing for all involved, and if I was one of the people ON the list I'd issue a press statement to say how dissapointed I was. The fucking Horrors. Jesus.

...appears to reflect their mentally-backward writers' masturbatory fantasties. This list bears that out nicely.

Unless of course for instance, number 15 was chosen for the commercial acumen of giving one of their first ever singles to a mobile phone ad.

puke out my orange juice. I liked that orange juice. I fucking despise Lily Allen.

if they made a list of "top 50 people talked about in nme this year" it would be pretty much exactly the same. i mean, get cape wear cape fly is just a guy from southend. hes not "cool" in any reasonable definition of the world, as im sure hed probably agree

I didn't think I could hate the NME any more.

what a wank list.

so it's less predictable than it could have been. so it's good. that was my reasoning.

that it's not good beth ditto won this, especially as it contradicts the anti-obesity program in school.

what kind of role model is she? mind you, what kind of role model was pete doherty...

from the boy doherty though. In fact the piece I read in Slimming World last week "How I dropped 4 dress sizes by nibling on the horse" can only cheer the governments chief medical officer.

I can only hope something lurched in the cold, fuming wasteland where Conor McNicholas's heart used to be when he gave the go ahead for that. I really hope.

is a cunt.

All you need to know...

Go about halfway down the page. If I keep banging on about what a reprehensible institution that has become under McNicholas, it'll sound stale. So I'll let her speak for herself.

Conor McNicholas is a lacky. And a twat as well.

because i havent heard of numbers:

1,2,6,8,10,15,17,20,36,37,44,46,47,49.

maybe i should start readin nme again. or maybe not.

Ugly bint (the one in the picture). Is THAT whos number one. Did stevie wonder choose the list or just someone whos just as ugly trying to make themselves feel better

Legend! she on ur top 5 must shag?

He's just a dick isn't he?

And richard hawley?! Good, definately. But cool?

that's more indictive of the industry's attitude towards women though. I'm sure the Long Blondes and Fatty McRugmuncher herself could tell you similar stories.

no Shaun Humanzi then? maybe we'll get our own cool list in NME Ireland. watch this!

*cringe*

obv.

you're in at number 23

I just wish the proportion of dimwitted misogynistic fucktards was slightly lower...

I had a long conversation with the house of lords where we discussed the greatness of the heart in a cage guitar solo in the strokes song. he was ever so slightly drunk

it's just a bit surprising really.

There's loads of people in there ive never even seen let alone think are cool, they are only names to me. Ouch

you should keep up your good paying job and not worry about these people no-one will know next year!

Brandon Flowers's beard. I think I may be in a minority.

...Pickled Onion Monster Munch

NME once again will only publicise bands they advertise....

Dumb feckers...real dumb feckers...

You have to be fecking dumb to do a 'Cool' List, I couldnt be bothered if any fecker was cool as along as they make good music, they could be the most uncool bastards ever.

Pickled Onion are clearly the best.

oh wait, there i am at number 38, i'm such a TWAT

richard hawley is cooler than most people on that list. weird you picked him, maybe cos he's OLDER?

where is edwyn?

keith richards? hasnt been cool for a long time. i dont class being a heavy drug use survivor then falling out of a tree as cool but then doherty was no1 last year? i suppose that's moving on. let's all jack up guys! that's what it takes!
all the same i like the list. it's just to provoke debate so they've succeeded

I swear to God. One of these days...

I meant #4.

i love beth. i'm glad the gossip are finally being recognised. when i first heard of them 3 years ago it was a complete mission to get hold of the ep's.
my friend said they got booed at the scissor sisters show the other day.
i first got to see them live this time last year, and the room was sooo tiny yet they put on an ace show, which they followed up nicely this year in a larger venue :)

Kieren Webster

i know him, he is an utter twat

Doherty made it to no 28 on the list, yet if it was a list of the 50 biggest losers he would no doubt be number 1.

It's that thing i thought was important when i was about 12...

If any of these acts aren't really embarassed to be on such a list then that's a real shame. Only the terrifying alliance of ignorance and insecurity that is teenage-dom could create 'cool', and only an increasingly infantilised society could celebrate such a thing rather than slapping it down with the scorn it deserves.
I know so many people who have spent sodding years trying to be cool and preventing themselves from having any fun - that the adults at NME propogate the notion of cool tells you everything you need to know about their morally repugnant nature.

totally with you on that one

what teh hell#s he doing in it!

nice to see Richard hawley getting some appriciation

Nice to see him making the list...

...she pretty much said she could understand why kids in America go into schools and shoot other kids.

I couldn't believe what I was reading.

She's a complete tit.

PS Jon Davies, try reading a science book instead of your Jamie Oliver handbook. Being fat doesn't kill you, being unfit and unhealthy does, there's a difference.

it's about a cool (and i use that in the broadest possible sense) list. So the very things being discussed are her appearance and personality.

The truth of the matter is yes she does have a very powerful voice (bully for her) but from what i've heard from her interviews she seems to have a very backwards view on homophobia and indeed sexism.

She would appear to be one of those sorry individuals who, while on the face of it, calls for equality but in reality they want the roles reversed. They don't care if the situation is unfair as long as it's in their favor.
Somebody really needs to let her know that standard feminism doesn't recognize homosexuality.

Serge fucking Pizzorno?!
A fat lezza tops that cunt anyday imo.

Why the fuck is Cat Power number 48?!
She's way cooler than some of the tossers in there such as Lily fucking Allen and Meg White.

This list is WANK.

is almost always the result of being unfit and being unhealthy. arent you a smart cookie

Should have been no 1, she is easily the most stylish person this year and she is good looking as well, something that cannot be said about beth ditto.

what the fuck are nme on ? is it just me or have they really, really gone downhill in the past years , or is it merely the state of british music ? apologies if this is said already too lazy to read through all the comments . the winner is obese ? the winner disgusts me

What a pile of shit...
Especially the Gerard Way bit.

Much better list then the 2007 one
