The cool factor- who has it?


My question relates to music and musical artist's performance and music. Who has that COOL factor?  In the past or currently. For example I think the Beatles had it and also Bob Marley. Today I think Lenny Kravitz (if for nothing certainly for his longevity).

Thoughts?...

The Beethoven l remember had a long thick woolly coat. I took my son to see him at the cinema. In all the scenes he never took it off. Must have been always cold, or cool.

Woof, Woof, Woof, Ooooooh!!

I do listen to some music that MAY be defined as cool but mostly not! I like folk music. Martin Mull referred to the 1960's folk boom as the "Great Folk Scare of the 60's"! I even lower the volume when I'm in the car and another car is along side me! Anyone else do this? 

@jnovak - I always liked that 'great folk scare' - did you ever see the movie 'A Mighty Wind', which was made by the same people who did Spinal Tap, but instead of metal, it deals with the folk music scene and their band is called the Folksmen. Those guys are/were cool....
