So who is it? who was it?
Does a walk like Ian Brown or Liam Gallaghers get you into the top slot or does it take a bit more than a walk to place so highly? Is it his brother,Noel with a bit more sense? KLF for burning a million? Bob Geldof? Lennon? kurt cobain? Shaun Ryder?
Name then here and explain why.
John Deacon from Queen. For the shorts.
freddie murcury for having the best moustache in the WORLD and having the voice of a god! (shame he died 
)
I BOW DOWN TO YOU
Lemmy or Slash.
/thread
JJ Burnell of the Stranglers...rides Triumph bikes,Black belt 6th dan & a great bass guitarist....
The smiley one off Buck's Fizz
Keith.
Moon, or Richards, Moon for me though.
Prince if you can call him a band member. He's a bell end, sure, but no-one else is that obscenely multi-talented or simply that good live, especially if you get him in a small venue.
Otherwise, Flea. Ain't nothing like watching a good bassist's hands do their work, and ain't no-one plays a bass like Flea.
Kim Deal from the Pixies/Breeders. Anybody from Sonic Youth.
Flea's great & mental etc etc,but he aint cool 
Nicky Wire
Well, anyone who can get up on stage in front of tens of thousands of people in an old granny dress and a feather boa.....
Rob Collins (RIP) from the Charlatans.
Lemmy or Slash.
Saw them perform together at Download. Was magic. My vote goes to Fish out of Marillion. He was so cool nobody noticed he couldn't actually sing. Either that or the piano player out of the Sparks. Come to think of it, he actually beats everybody by a country mile.
Flea's great & mental etc etc,but he aint cool
Hey - you can't wear trousers like that if you're not cool 
Henry Rollins of Black Flag/Rollins Band non-fame
Stephen Malkmus of Pavement
Falco of McClusky/FotL
All of Turbonegro
PJ Harvey
Josh Homme
Peaches
John 'Speedo' Reis of Drive Like Jehu/Rocket from the Crypt/Hot Snakes/Night Marchers
Buck 65
Bruce Dickinson
Commercial Jet Pilot and International Fencer (Fencist?)!
Huey from Fun Lovin Criminals takes some beating. Billy Idol is up there too.
Bjork had the most stage presence of anyone I've seen, apart from Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips. I remember seeing Aphex Twin playing a live set from the inside of one of those kids plastic houses, whilst loads of teddy bears with rdj faces danced around him. That was pretty cool

Margin Walker...thought you'd have gone for Ian MacKaye.............
Forgot about Daryl Palumbo!
Have had tickets for Glassjaw on no less than 4 occasions, but they cancelled on each of them.
Been meaning to ask, is your username a Fugazi reference?
Ian MacKaye and Guy Picciotto to add to the list.
Ha ha ........too obvious ? Can never decide whether Guy is cooler ??
so uncool he's cool ??
Gonna throw ad rock in there as well.
surf mat
He was until he did that very bad dog thing on tv or that pink slips on mtv . both very un cool
Cancelled- just about forgiveable with Daryl
Has tickets once for Tool at Riverside in Newcastle with about 150 people there. Played 4 songs and then stopped as his voice went......
Add Maynard to the list as well.
Glassjaw are ridic
Kerry King

JJ burnels a good call.
cant think of anyone cooler than Geordie from Killing Joke tho. cooooooooool and the gang that boy
John Bonham!!!!
Josh Homme
Jimi Hendix
Rollins - just for living it and being so damned intense, but being a really nice guy.
Hendrix.
"I'd like to dedicate this song to the girl in the the 3rd row with the yellow underwear. Yeah, beautiful."
And too many other coolnesses to mention.
Although JJ Burnel also a good shout, unfair advantage being French perhaps 
Its a close call between Flavor Flav or Bez
Thurston Moore from the gr8 Sonic Youth
