Singers / bands who are hugely successful but deeply uncool

[Ayahuasca]

Jimmy Buffet - sells squillions of records, but, seriously WTF? Cheeseburgers?


Cristopher Cross - brilliant singer, face made for radio.


Who else?

[North West Tom]

Apparently Jedward have recently bought a couple of Ferraris.

[FesterNath]

Bono.

[samwilliams]

Mick Hucknall

[slomax]

Ever seen hot chip? Highly bizzar group of people.

[Negative Creep]

Presuming you are more than 10 years old, that Justin Beiber kid. I know it's cool to hate him, but from what I've seen he really is absolutely wretched. I was forced to watch a portion of a live gig and his voice was so bad he wouldn't have made it through the first round of X Factor


Oh and Westlife. They always get to number one but have you ever actually met someone who likes them?

[Simbu]

Rush. Most people just don't 'get' it. 19 released studio albums and another on the way this year. Worldwide success.

Saw them live on the Snakes and Arrows tour. Awesome.

Hold on guys- we've all forgotten someone. One of the strangest men I have ever been made aware of....

Micheal Jackson

or

prince- but he's kinda of cool in a weird way

[captainzep]

They're still considerably cooler than me though...

[Goughie]

Billy Joel - more than 100 million albums sold

[Ayahuasca]

Jimmy Buffett earns an estimated 100 million dollars a year. I want to cry.

There is no way on earth Rush could be described as 'uncool'!! They're a huge influence on soooo many bands and folk that don't get them tend to be a bit obviously stupid

Just fantastic musicians and funny as fook too.

WE know!
