Tough category for me. I’m so uncool I don’t even know what’s uncool.

Is Pearl Jam uncool? Nickelback? Sheryl Crow? Fleetwood Mac? Wings? Elvis Costello? I’m worried some these may have become ironically cool without me knowing.

They’re a band that sings songs for kids about history. Here’s an acoustic solo (the full band is three members I think) of their song about Marie Curie.

The group headed by John Michael Higgins and Jane Lynch from Mighty Wind. I love that soundtrack, including a couple of their numbers (“Potato’s in the Patty Wagon” and “Wanderin’”).

I can’t contribute to the category, because I am not ashamed of any my musical tastes. But

They totally upstaged the Folksmen by singing “Wanderin’” at the concert. It was the Folksmen’s signature song, dammit!.
