Ask anyone on the street who Lindsey Buckingham is. I bet you only a handful could tell you he was even in Fleetwood Mac. So therefore, he isn't "cool" even though he probably is a cool guy. I dunno tho, I never met him.

That's like asking if the sun is hot or if shoes are made for feet. Uh, YAH he's cool, it's a given... 8D

Is a nerd not nerdy if most people don't know he's nerdy? It seems that Lindsey's coolness is an inherent quality not dependent on whether other people know it or not.

I have to disagree. "Coolness" and "nerdiness" are COMPLETELY dependent on other people's perceptions. Whereas in your world, Lindsey comes off as cool, in other's he comes of as eccentric. Eccentric meaning a calculating douche who's trying to become viewed as Joni Mitchell with a penis, is using psychobabble ad naseum to seem like more of an enlightened intellectual than he might actually be, and is trying to play the artsy card by excessive periods between albums with the excuse of attention to detail (is there anybody who can hear any major difference between the "Steal Your Heart Away" that was released on that Best Buy sampler in 1997 and the one on SYW in 2003, aside from Stevie's vocals??), all in a bad attempt to make us forget he's the guy who wrote "Go Your Own Way" (which, he's played every show since its release). Okay, so the guy's nowhere near as big a douche as, say, Glen Frey, he's similarly nowhere as cool or artsy as guys like Jeff Tweedy (Wilco) or Robert Pollard (Guided By Voices) who actually refused to compromise their artistic vision even if it meant that they didn't sell a billion albums.

Lindsey is the epitome of "cool," most people just don't realize it.

Frankly my dears this poll is a bit nonsense.. It's a fan site so the result is obvious. Of course I think he's cool! It's like asking Do you like Fleetwood Mac?? ..in the Rumours forum

He'll never ever be even close to Joni Mitchell. You think she'd roll her solo work into a Fleetwood Mac album... Wayne Shorter would hit Lindsey over the head with his soprano sax... I read once where she sold her paintings to finance her albums because she told Geffen's suits to stick it... Is he a unique guitarist.... absolutely Is he cool? based on his actions since Tango... a resounding no

He isn't cool in the definition, as accepted in "rock" music.
Cool to me is leading a fashion or an image, whatever you want to call it. Lindsey's playing is a little too neat to be considered cool. He is getting better, but to me "cool" and "hip" mean playing the same song differently every single time and not being afraid to f**k it up every now and again. Admittedly its difficult with the Travis picked songs but Lindsey has his comfort zone and likes to stay within it live, after its been perfected in the rehearsal studios of course. But he has changed arrangements and been a little more out of his normal territory on this tour so kudos for that. Throwing in stuff like Bwana etc has been great after so many FM tours with the same songs in the same order night after night after night... He is still not chilling the room when he breathes but he is a little cooler than he was. I'm assuming he is smoking the herbal stuff again 'cos he seems to have loosened up a bit in interviews too. The Stones are cool, despite everything. OK, they can't play as well anymore, but they are gigging when they should be retired which is somewhat cool and they change the songs every night. The last couple of tours they have had 400 songs rehearsed and ready to throw in. And they are not afraid to "blag it" as we say here, and just play on with mistakes. That is pretty cool to me... Fashion wise, Lindsey wears a leather jacket that went out of style 10 years back and he needs to get a t-shirt that fits properly, otherwise he looks pretty cool for his years.

Personally, I don't care about coolness. So I didn't vote. But he's a wonderfully skilled musician, arranger, writer and producer. And if that isn't enough for some people to label him "cool" because of the style of music he makes, well, I can't help them.
