The Backstreet Boys, so many great tunes. A hideously guilty pleasure in an otherwise credible record collection.

Level 42. Can't beat a bit of Mark King...
JJ McClure
Go Jags
Yep. Most people only know Nickelback for their middle of the road soft ass singles. They're actually a cracking rock band to watch live.

1970s Billy Joel
From Brighton + South London. Sings with a Northern accent. Pretentious bellends.
I liked Abba and Jacko when it was quite uncool (and before we knew he was a pedo)

They Might Be Giants.
How the cool can't like, and admire, Dr Worm, is beyond me.

George Formby
The Sweet
Bee Gees
Are whole genres allowed? Opera.
I reckon at least 75% of what I listen to isn't cool...those who know me will doubtless be gobsmacked at this revelation.

Maybe not with Punks of the time but they were very cool when they released Sultans of Swing, not when they became the Yuppies darlings obviously

I dunno who's was cool and who wasn't now so I'll put these out there
Neil Diamond (not a band though)
Depeche Mode (at the start when they might not have been cool)
Human League (still play Dare)
Another vote for ABC

Loads.
U2
Milli Vanilli
Marillion
draw the most comments when people see my record collection. Can't say I still listen to MV but I still get the other 2 out for a play and see them live.

As British as they come, great stage presence, quality musicianship and football lovers.
What's not to like?

For me it was Ocean Colour Scene. Why are they not cool man?
