Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) I think my choices might suprise some but these guys were far ahead of their time and I think that the music industry suffered a great loss with the death of these two legends!

Zepaholic Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 There may have been bigger stars but nobody was ever cooler on stage than Jimmy Page Co-signed! Jimmy, Keef and Robbie Robertson all are just too cool.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oracle Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Why would Frank Sinatra not qualify? I'd venture a guess in that, People's definition of cool is all over the map and changes as time goes on. Just look at what today's youth consider's "cool". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) Why would Frank Sinatra not qualify? That's what I'm wondering. If the thread was restricted to rock music, I wouldn't have thrown his name out there but music in general? His whole aura personified "cool". Maybe they're being that way on purpose, who knows.

Deborah J Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 For me, it was John Paul Jones. The man didn't mind staying in the background, he had no ego and yet his contribution to music cannot be questioned. He was cool and never did or has to prove it. The man is COOL. After seeing him this past Feb with TCV, I was just amazed that here he is after all these years, still quite and elegant. I love all 4 of them but he has my vote for cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 you could say the same thing for Billie Holliday, Coltrane or Miles Davis. Absolutely. I love Miles Davis, incidentally. Kind of Blue is freakin' phenomenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oracle Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Seems to me it's more a sign of ignorance. You're right. Alot of people don't know of Frank Sinatra. Deano was cooler ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 You're right. Alot of people don't know of Frank Sinatra. It appears folks here are aware of him but simply don't believe he falls under the banner of "cool". If they aren't aware of his coolness factor then it just goes to show they aren't very educated about Mr. Sinatra. Thus, the "ignorance" comment.

Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 (edited) You might be suprised to hear this but I grew up on a "more than healthy" dose of Frank Sinatra. My Grandad (from my dad's side of the family), who happens to be a huge fan, owns every single album (he is also a rat pack fanatic, by the way!) and every afternoon, right after lunch, he literally bored my poor family to tears by playing his records over and over again! In fact, I remember my dad storming out of the living room and shutting the door to his study and blasting a couple of Pink Floyd tracks just to (in his words) "ease the pain of boredoom!". In fact, one day, it became so bad that my dad exclaimed : "I'm so sick of that Sinatra prick! Can't we listen to something else?!"...the only thing which didn't occur was my dad and Grandad going head to head in combat! My mom and Grandmom ended up being the referres! I know many people love Sinatra and I didn't mean to offend anyone by saying that he is so not the "epitome of coolness" blah blah blah (by the way I'm 22 years old and I don't know what the word "coolness" means! It just doesn't make sense! Could some kind soul enlighten me on that one please?) So, just like when people who have heard "Stairway To Heaven" being played on the radio umpteen times get so sick of it that they would rather not listen to it ever again, the same thing goes for me and Sinatra! And I think that's pretty understandable! Don't you? Cheers! Edited August 1, 2010 by Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Blue Eyes was one of a kind. A great great entertainer, both musically and on the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
