Who are the ugliest band?

[Stumpy Pepys]

I'm sure posters can dig out forgotten album covers featuring gurning one-toothed rednecks, but which mainstream band could be described as being the least attractive?

To start the ball rolling, I give you Lindisfarne.

And Steely Dan

Brian Jones was beautiful, Jagger had charisma, but the Stones were, at the time, and compared to the Beatles, considered ugly, I think.



(Now, certainly.)

My dad used to go on about the rather unpleasant appearance of The Glitter Band.



The Mothers Of Invention always come up in these discussions.

The Stones are a good shout as, with the rest of them, a shave and a haircut would give you a groups of fairly normal people with one or two shaved apes

Who are the ugliest band?

for their fine display of hideous dentistry, appalling skin, and all the hallmarks of having grown up in a sewer, on a diet of rats and used loo paper, this prize has to go to the Bay city rollers.



It should be remembered that the BCR were supposedly teen heartthrobs, and as such were picked for their looks

The vast majority of men were ugly, though, especially in the seventies, before metrosexual grooming and fitness habits had evolved.

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

there is nothing that fitness and grooming could do for the BCR

[Jimmy Bignutz]

You say that, but the Bay City Rollers' manager was well into grooming - he was very much ahead of his time.

I can't believe I'm arguing in defence of the BCR, as I was a Bowie girl through and through, but three out of five aren't that bad: Woody with the baby face (baby faces look very weird on older men, but are OK on the young), that other normal looking one whose name escapes me, and Les McKeown, who had a basically handsome face. The other two, I grant you, are somewhat homely in aspect.

That's two more reasonably goodlooking members than a lot of bands had, unsurprisingly, as so many blokes join bands so they can lose their virginity.

To put it in perspective Richard O'Sullivan was a sex symbol in the 70s.

EDIT: just remembered, while busy with something else entirely, that Eric was the baby faced guitarist. The others are Derek, Alan and Stuart "Woody" Wood.

The Rolling Stones were indeed hideous in the 60s. However, A Flock Of Seagulls are in with a shout here.

Hideous, absolutely hideous as indeed was their music.
They're so ugly they make the beautyboard behind them look good.

fantastic. So much better than the gag I was going to run along these lines.
