They didn't have the chance to do infomericals and perfume ads. That's why they are still "cool".

Not a band, but I nominate Johnny Cash.

U2
Boston (anyone who disagrees needs to be shot, No offense)
Aerosmith
Bruce Springsteen
The Rolling Stones
Fleetwood Mac (70's era!)

All fabulous, Romy. How could I have forgotten Sly and the Family Stone, though?! I don't (and can't) go a day without listening to one of their songs.

Johnny Cash is a cool choice...

I dunno about years ago...I guess the retro thing is in now...but I see young teens wearing RAMONES t shirts...especially at the Green Day concert I saw lots of kids wearing RAMONES Tshirts. I don't know how U2 always manages to stay "cool." I do like them although.

I guess I'm just thinking of people my age...many ppl my age like older music like U2, The Who, Talking Heads, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, etc...but not so much people like Bowie, Blondie, etc...maybe it depends on the area of the world you're in as well.

Interesting topic though I thought. Fleetwood Mac has gotten much more "cool" since the dance, not in all circles....but overall I would say

Yet most of those kids who wear those Ramones shirts would scratch their heads at the mere mention of Television, Talking Heads, and Blondie.

It bugs me to no end how kids these days say they're into the "retro thing," yet have no clue about those types of bands from back in the day.

I think you're right.

It has a lot to do with where you live. Those in, say Alabama, for example, don't have the exposure to bands and artists like Bowie, Blondie, and the Talking Heads like those in the cities do. I think it's a "cultural" issue more than anything. Big cities like Boston and New York nurture music and the arts, whereas it's very different in other parts of the country.

Have you heard the soundtrack to Moonlight Mile with Susan Sarandon and Dustin Hoffman? I love that one. At first glance, you cringe at the tracklist, but it's smoother than butter.

1. I Want To Take You Higher - Sly & The Family Stone
2. Moonlight Mile - The Rolling Stones
3. Love Will Come Through - Travis
4. Twentieth Century Boy - T. Rex
5. Sweet Head - David Bowie
6. Everybody Is A Star - Sly & The Family Stone
7. I Hear You Knocking - Dave Edmunds
8. Rock And Roll (Part 2) - Gary Glitter
9. Razor Face - Elton John
10. I'll Be Your Lover Too - Van Morrison
11. Comin' Back To Me - Jefferson Airplane
12. Buckets Of Rain - Bob Dylan
13. Song To The Siren - Robert Plant
14. The Telling - Jorma Kaukonen

And regardless of whether or not they have staying power, Franz Ferdinand will always be eternally cool to moi.

Well, I would have to say Cher along with others that you all have said... I'm sure a lot of you might not agree, but she's been around since the 60s and she's still going... That woman will never die, thank god.
