What is cool and what is uncool, seems to me changes over time.

Genesis have been mentioned, but I'm sure that many would feel that when they were an album band (expecting I know what I like) they were cool, bit once they became a hit singles band they became uncool.
Also the arrival of punk immediately made lots of album focused bands uncool overnight, but at the start of the 70s these bands would have been cool.

In terms of what is uncool, I usually go with anything my sister liked at the time, (now anything my wife likes) any singles oriented group (pre punk) all boy bands, all music which has emerged from talent shows, anything liked by the under 12s.

So from my collection, I will go with C C Adcock

Er...You may want to re-phrase that...

[FamilyGuy]

Saw Doctors
Crosby Stills and Nash

Two of the best live - and diametrically opposed - bands ever

Indeed but *ruler shirley?

 

[Dorset Seagull]

The Osmonds doing Crazy Horses.

And ABC - The Lexicon of Love is an all time classic

Off to see ABC in November. A classic album indeed although I recall reading that they just made the lyrics up to sound cool although they had little meaning

 

[Guinness Boy]

Are Steely Dan cool? They certainly don't look it. There was a Classic Albums programme on Sky Arts about Aja a while ago and they are the most geeky looking musos I can think of.

I love Stevie Wonder. Some of his output may be considered cool but some of it definitely isn't. His coolness (or not) divides my friends.

Queen are a guilty pleasure

Steely Dan were (unbelievably now maybe) VERY cool at the time and imo this still sounds brilliant in 2017

Abba!

Unsurprisingly someone gets there before me. They're hard not to like. Still play them.
