[Blue-Jay]

17. No it wasn't.

But feel free to joke as you wish. (and to address your deleted statement: Miles Davis is cooler than Al Green. Miles is cooler than EVERYBODY, though.)

[TroubleMan]

23. Al is more universally cooler than Miles

Miles takes an educated ear to truly enjoy.

Anybody can lay back and listen to Al.

I never understood it.

[AccessGranted]

40. Any Kind of Jazz

Cool, man, cool (snapping fingers and wearing black tam and leather jacket).

[Blue-Jay]

43. That goes without saying.

Unless you're including Kenny G or Dave Koz in that category. In that case, I'll need that leather jacket back.

[hippiechick]

42. Guided by Voices, Nick Cave, Tom Waits ...

:hippie:

[Blue-Jay]

44. Wasn't Nick Cave a Marvel comic book character?

:silly:

I do love Tom Waits, though.

[sendero]

45. Brian Eno, Cocteau Twins...

...Boards of Canada, Squarepusher, Iggy Pop, Sublime, Dead Can Dance, Stereolab, DJ Shadow, Massive Attack, Bowie, XTC, Ween, Seefeel, Kate Bush, King Crimson (early), Swallow... heck if you listen to any of these you are cool in my school :)

[Wat_Tyler]

46. Cocteaus, Eno, XTC, Massive Attack, Iggy, DJ Shadow, Ween, Seefeel.

Works from me - oh, and Stereolab.

[Blue-Jay]

48. I didn't really like Massive Attack too much.

They were a bit too "ambient" for me.

[sendero]

55. Hmmm....

.... I don't consider them "ambient", they are firmly in the "trip hop" camp.

As an aside, you know who "invented" the term "ambient"?

It was Brian Eno, on the back of one of his more obscure recordings he descibed a kind of music that was easily ignored yet involving and interesting if your attention was turned to it.

Of course, the term was later co-opted to mean "soft music to come off your X by" :)

[Blue-Jay]

62. I wasn't using the term like most people do.

I just meant that no matter how loud I turned it up, it still sounded like it was in the background, if that makes any sense.

[Wat_Tyler]

47. The Associates, The Go-Betweens, Neu!, The Chills, One Dove, MBV.

[Blue-Jay]

49. OK. Now you're just makin' shit up.

[Wat_Tyler]

51. Am I?

Or am I so cool, so hip - that I just BLEW YOUR MIND?????

[Blue-Jay]

54. You didn't list Tenacious D.

[sendero]

52. How could I have forgotten..

.... My Bloody Valentine? It was only that one recording, Loveless, that was incredible - but it is a masterpiece ! :)

[Wat_Tyler]

53. It is - Isn't Anything isn't nothing, either.

[sendero]

56. Never ...

... really found Isn't Anything that interesting. Still have the CD tho, might give it another chance :)

[Left Is Write]

50. I don't know, because I'm not cool enough for anyone.

[Turn CO Blue]

57. Anybody's CD from American Idol...not! n/t

[Ron Green]

58. Charlie Christian and Lester Young

And here's a shout out to Night Train - how about Roy Milton???

[koneko]

59. Portishead

[sendero]

60. How could I forget..

... the Stranglers, who made some of the most interesting music of the late 70s and early 80s?

Truly, "The Raven" and "The Gospel According to the Meninblack" are unrivaled classic of their genre!

63. Barry Manilow

[fluffernutter]

64. Hanson.
