Uncool is always better

Jason Kottke's site pointed me to Rolling Stone's "50 Uncoolest Records of All Time (that we recommend you buy immediately)" list, which made me laugh harder than any Web site in months.

There is great truth in saying that John Denver was "quite possibly the only man made cooler by Muppet collaborations," or in describing the Proclaimers' music as "catchy marching orders delivered by nerdy Scottish drill sergeants."

Oh, and for other lists, I like Australia's Triple J radio's selection of greatest rock drummers (missing only Gary Mallaber -- for his work with Van Morrison and the Steve Miller Band), and the same site's greatest whistling in rock 'n' roll.
