True cool? Fact-finding mission.

Dig....

This is just a weird little notion rocking around my brain but I was trying to think of who, after experiencing the junkyard cool that is Tom Waits, who is or was the epitome of the coolness, and not some kind of popularity cool or new cool, but...an eternal cool. A cool so blue that it transcends.

Your suggestions are welcome. No answer is right or wrong. Unless you say "Kool and the Gang." Here's my Top 10, in ascending order, but 10 could 1 and one could be 10, etc. Naturally, no names are necessary.

Below is a simple comparison and contrast of what is and what is not cool:
