[Policeman] “We received a call that someone was playing Motley Crüe in breach of the laws of good taste. When we arrived, to stop the defendent from air guitaring I had to taser him 3 times and my colleague had to baton him to unconsciousness. We then had to break his arms make him drop his pretend drumsticks.”

[Judge] “This is the worst rubbish I’ve heard in all my years on the bench. I’m banning this song and sending the defendent down for 18 months, hold on let me adjust my wig, it has come off from all the moshing. Take him down. Clerk, rewind that bit will you?”

I love that song!!! How is ODing on heroin and then being resuscitated not cool?

Just realised that @Tim has probably already mentioned every uncool song in the other thread when he delves into his yacht rock ollection.

A good example of a band that I don't think are uncool but others do, because they weren't cool to admit liking at a certain time, is Oasis.

I get that if you are from a certain generation, their popularity, the dickwad behaviour etc provided plenty of scope for them not to be 'cool' to like.
If you weren't forming likes or establishing tastes in their heyday though and ignore the personalities they have some brilliant music in their collections. Pretty rare that I would flick past one of their songs if it came on. But among some company I would expect derision.

Swap Oasis for Green Day and I', the same for most of their music

I've never looked at music as being cool or uncool, good or bad. To me, there is the music you like and the music you don't like.

Totally agree, which is why this thread is a bit weird. The uncool part is in the eyes of others.

Stan Bush, and his "heavy medal" fellow travellers, have received ironic appreciation since You've Got the Touch was used in Boogie Nights, but everyone, including me, thinks he sucks ass. The Bloodsport theme is a good one for jogging though, and the "kumite" bit ... kinda bangs.

You've got the touch from Transformers the Movie is absolutely epic. Any kid who saw that scene would say the same thing.

I've glimpsed through the thread and I think you're all trying too hard.

"Listen to this cool as fuck music that nobody has ever heard of but I can laugh about because if I day it's lame I'm a supercool music aficionado "

Let go of 'the cool' people, and embrace your inner lame.

Try something like:

Electric Blue by Icehouse
The Climb by Mikey Cyrus
The Living Years by Mike and The Mechanics
actually anything by Mike and The Mechanics

there are more ... Just let me think ..

Never Forget by Take That
Can't stand them otherwise but that song does it for me for some reason.

Hmm. Less than 50 posts in and I've learnt I like a lot of uncool music.

your greatest post ever

I know it's @Tim thread, so his rules, but doesn't the presence of Def Leppard and Motley Crue derail it completely going by those rules? I'm less bogan than most of you lot on here and I wouldn't be embarrassed playing those two.

fuck you, it's fun and catchy

I find this thread a bit weird to be honest. The uncool tag is very subjective anyway but it then has the element of being uncool within a certain genre only.
Pantera? Never knew they were uncool as they are just another heavy rock band in my ears and I dont differentiate one from another.
I thought it was about songs/bands that are universally uncool but you have a listen

I think @booboo has it right

Leave it there and mute it then.
