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?...

@chrisoshea - great band, the Undertones; even got to see them in San Francisco in the late 70's! Saw U2 a number of times, but that was in the early days of 'Boy', 'October', and 'War' when they were just coming up - I kinda lost interest after that.

Larsman, I'm with you...Saw U2 twice in the early years..ok but they were not exactly The Undertones, Elvis Costello or XTC.
