Hmm.. Steve and Lee are actually pretty guys. Jim was really pretty when he was with them.

Well, I guess that makes Sonic Youth the 'Ugliest Band of All Time' then, I guess. Strange, all my growing up, The Ramones, Motorhead and The Clash took credit for that.

Nazi Dog once pointed out that when he joined the punk scene in the late '70s, he was fascinated with how attrociously old and ugly Debbie Harry and the Ramones were.

Some journalist here in Canada once pointed out how much Steven Tyler resembles Her Majesty, QE II.

Someone else once pointed out that the leader of More (What was his name...?) was the ugliest rocker ever in the metal scene, one notch above Lemmy.

In the '60s, The Stones were considered the ugliest. There's that classic bit of film footage where one young American girl is asked by a reporter, What do you find so attractive about The Rolling Stones?, to which she replies, "They're so ugly, they're beautiful."

I have noticed over the years that some of the 'sex symbols' of '60s and '70s rock--Morrison, Jagger, Bolan, Stanley--have been called 'ugly' by young girls from subsequent generations.

I wonder how good or bad King Diamond looks without the hideous 'Countess-Bathory's-henchman-Thorko' makeup...? I can't recall ever seeing a photo....

12 to 15 years ago, when she was at the peak of her forgotten career, Juliana Hatfield had the uncanny knack for looking like a cute-little-overgrown-12-year-old one moment, and a ugly 20-/30-something the next.

A few names that were surprisingly left off the list: Ian Gillan, Geddy Lee, Pete Townshend, Peter Criss, Cronos, the women from L7, Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent, Dave hlubek (and the rest of Molly Hatchet), and...Frank Zappa--who by some accounts, prided himself on being the ugliest rock star! Damn! Zappa would have been so disappointed! (I can hear him now: "There they go again: I never get the proper credit I deserve! Neglectful fuckers!")

Awww, Zappa's a hot ass.

Theres a difference between Hollywood fake plastic & ugly;
Showbiz standards are ridiculous...

All of their music makes them beautiful...

sonic youth should definitely not be on that list. even being as objective as i can be, they shouldn't be on that list.

in her day, debbie harry looked like a goddess.

and thurston's hair is enough to land the entire band on the "Most Beautiful People In The Universe" list. he sat in front of us at sxsw last year, and the entire group of people i was with just looked at each other and said that he was "glorious" and that his hair was amazing.

screamingskull 12.02.2007 11:07 AM

that list is so stupid, sonic youth are sooo pretty!

 


 


 


he he, i love this one

Obscure? Perhaps. But look at that picture and tell me he doesn't belong on this list. No seriously, take another look at it. As my grandfather would put it, I wish I had his nose full of dimes. And Fantastic Sam's should refund his $8.00 without delay.

this was very funny

95% of people on the planet are pretty ugly when you really look at them. The 16 most non-symmetrical people in rock... who gives a shit?

Dead-Air 12.03.2007 12:08 AM

Thurston and Kim have both always looked one to two decades younger than they actually are without any plastic surgery or major cosmetics. Even as he nears 50, Thurston has more hair than many twenty somethings I know. I wonder if the guy who wrote the list is the same guy who did the infamous Pitchfork NYC G&F review, because it reeks of the same sort of insincere iconoclasm.

Lemmy, however, I'm sure is proud to be on the top of the list, and would probably dispute the "in no particular order" comment.
