Nme Cool List 2004

[Vinyl Richie]

As I opened it I thought who'd be top and Doherty sticks out by a mile!

Gwarn the arcadian dream

 

[Meade's Ball]

Fad loving tossers.

Kim Deal is the only cool person on that list, personally I would consider the follow as glaring omissions:

Myself
Nick Cave
Wayne Coyne
Beth Gibbons

[Pevenseagull]

The NME list is populated with uninspiring, moronic, trite, formulaic airheads.

what a suprise

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

And your point is?

Eminem is catchy enough, yet seems obsessed with something he isn't a part of, the deprived black american guns and gang culture.

My point is that Eminem grew up in predominatly black area, and probably knows a hell of a lot more about it than you give him credit for.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Coolest people in music right now:

- The Go! Team
- The Dead 60s
- Blorn Argen - Razorlight

Funny how they raved about Preston from The Ordinary Boys in alst years but dont include him after he slagged off NME a couple of times.

I HATE THE NME.

Only buy it occasionally for the gig listings.

 

[tinx]

Do what I do and flick throught he gig listings each week in smiths and never actually buy it.

Utter bollox - I'm not a huge Eminem fan but am into my hip-hop. Eminem never pretends to be part of the gang scene or from a deprived black american area. He is simply a white guy from a nothing-special background rappin about things such as drugs, hating your ex, striving to achieve you goals, etc etc.... like him or not he is not fake.

NME is aimed at spotty sixth formers and nerdy undergraduates and is generally staffed by those that have been them in a former life, particularly ex-public school. For years now they've been far more interested in attitude than actual music content, hence the fact it is front page news when Doherty nips down to the newsagents to buy fags. This is the type of thing they all dribble over so it isn't suprising that an overrated singer from an overrated band with questionable musical ability has topped their poll. Oh, and they're from London which saves the NME hacks from actually travelling anywhere else.

I detest the build them up and knock them down mentally the paper possesses because they believe that they are the arbitors of taste in this country.

More COCK than COOL from what I've read about him. Not a huge fan of his music either.

 

[Albion Edd]

Though the Libertines are my favourite band Pete shouldn't have been number 1 and it was a bit of a cop out putting pete and carl joint first they should of just chosen one over the other. The list is a bit crap really.
The NMEs alright but there's lots of crap stuff in it and they go on about the same old bands like the libertines way too much.
