#1 Frank Carter from the Gallows: the UK is having some crazed hardcore revival, and the Gallows pretty much sound like any punk-hardcore band of the mid-90s stateside (see "Staring at the Rude Bois"). I think they think he's cool because he has tattoos.
#4 Not sure why the guy from the Cribs is even on here ... he's pretty bland.
#5 Lethal Bizzle: I think Lethal Bizzle could be summed up as Dizzee Rascal 2.0. So far I haven't been overly impressed, but I think he gets cool points from NME for working with Gallows on "Staring At The Rude Bois." I am amused that one of his big hits is called "Bizzle Bizzle".
#7 I can't really comment other than I have a crush on Kate Nash, so I think she's cool. So much cooler than the trainwreck known as Amy Winehouse.
As for the "Cool List" in general, I've been amused by the number of comments I've seen on the Interweb of people cancelling their NME subscription because of this issue. They say NME have more or less become a gossip/fashion magazine that mentions music every once in a while ... and I'm inclined to agree.
