Who made it into the NME Cool List 2005?

Alex Turner is top, but who else made it in?

Alex Turner from Arctic Monkeys has been named the coolest man on the planet in NME’s yearly Cool List.

The charismatic leader has knocked BabyshamblesPete Doherty off the top spot. Doherty has fallen to sixth place, while his ex-Libertines partner Carl Barat, who shared the Number One place with the troubled singer in 2004, has fallen to Number Nine.

NME Deputy Editor Alex Needham said: “Featuring both elder statesmen and thrusting young turks, the NME Cool List is the one every musician wants to be on. Last year Pete Doherty and Carl Barat were joint Number One and 2005’s list looks set to stir up even more controversy.”
