While the Beatles were singing about daises and submarines and shite these dudes were wearing leather jackets and talking about sadomasochism and scoring heroin. Minimalist sound, rough edged lyrics, some Russian broad that sounded like a dude. They had it all.

They have my vote

not even remotely a contest

Trey would shite his pants if he had to hang out with late 60's Lou Reed.

I love Velvet Underground and do agree that they are "cool", but of all time? No.

Love the VU but I never got all the "coolest human in history" hype around Lou. If acting like an arrogant count to every single person you encounter and having dudes sit on your face is the criteria , ok then

Look at me I'm John Lennon wah my parents didn't love me enough. I broke up the best band in the world cause I'm a fricking cry baby and my terrible Japanese wife told me to.

Definitely not cool

Paul was pretty cool though. I got Paul's back.

In terms of sheer partying, don't give a frick attitude, and drug use, I'd say Stones and Van Halen are "cooler" than VU.

The mid-70's David Bowie/Reed/whoever scene was notorious for the mountains and mountains of cocaine consumed

Lou Reed turned into a tranny for a while. They were going hard.

Because Levon was so fricking cool, it doesn't matter how much of a douche Robbie Roberson turned out to be.

and not a band but group
