My list stands. Should I Stay or Should I Go would definitely not be on any cool list of mine either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members exploradorable Posted November 16, 2005 Members Share Posted November 16, 2005 Well there's different kinds of cool. Are we talking druggy-cool like Pink Floyd, or young indie-kid-cool, or jazz-cool? There's many sub-genres of druggy-cool that would include all the above plus wealthy-coke-head cool, country club cool, trailer-trash-cool, chess-playing-philosophy-major-cool, etc. So I'm thinking you should do a bunch of songs about drugs.

Members Weatherbox Posted November 16, 2005 Members Share Posted November 16, 2005 "Cool" is "confidence," and it takes a supremely "confident" man to listen to Yellow Submarine without the privacy of headphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
