The Ugliest Men In The History Of Rock And Roll
http://thewvsr.com/ugliest.htm

"Pasty, paunchy, perpetually drunk, and with a mouth like somebody stepped on a weak spot and fell through a porch."

That's a bad thing? Really? Uh oh.

1. Not fair having Mick Mars on that list.
He's got a debilitating disease (forgot the name) that's greatly deteriorated his appearance.

And where the hell is Geddy Lee on that list?

2. Yeah, Geddy probably belongs on the list
Charlie Watts, John Lydon, and Meat Loaf probably belong there, too.

3. In the comments someone said that Ringo Starr should have been on list...I disagree
I love Ringo Starr's face, nothing ugly there or with David Crosby.

4. Ringo had three problems
John, Paul, and George. Most guys would look iffy in comparison to them.

5. Ringo married super hot Bond Girl Barbara Bach
He's a matinee idol compared to Jagger.

8. They've both had their days but
Jagger had some better looking ones than Ringo, and has always had way more talent, IMO. :hi:

6. Totally disagree about Sonic Youth.
I've had crushes on 3/4 of them. (sorry Steve Shelley, you're nice but just not my type). And I've even met them a couple times and the face-to-face factor didn't negate that.

Or maybe there's just a certain kind of ugly I really like. I wouldn't have thrown Joey Ramone out of bed for eating crackers either.

7. Hey! he got his teeth fixed.
Shane MacGowan will never be ugly to me, his awesomeness transcends ugly.

10. This is the correct answer!
Same goes for Joey Ramone and Mick Jones.

9. Good list and of course the irony is that these guys got laid more than anybody.
If you're a rock star, it doesn't matter what you look like. I forget how many women Lemmy has been with, and Rick Ocasek is married to that supermodel Paulina (I won't even attempt her last name).

I do think they did a good job on the list. But another possibility is Udo Dirkschneider (from the band Accept--"Balls to the Wall"). Ian Dury would be another one, but it's not fair to include him since he had polio.

12. Oh dear. Someone in college told me I looked like Ric Ocasek.
I thought, "Wow, a compliment from Lori Burns (not her real name)!" :loveya:

D'oh!

14. Joan Rivers was right...rock stars ARE ugly...
Mick Jagger could french-kiss a moose.

He definitely deserves to be on that list!
