Duran Duran's John Taylor always got/gets an easy ride when it comes to mullet ridicule.
He was by no means in line for the throne, but he never received the discredit his mullet deserved.
These good-looking lads get away with murder sometimes, they really do. Mind you, he's still looking good now, the good-looking sod.

I remember Bono and Charlie Nicholas being early mullet pioneeers. Except it was then called a 'footballer haircut'.

I remember Shriekback as a moderately successful 'alternative' band of the early 80s, when I was a teenager. They had some good singles that often hit the top 75 but never troubled the top 40. Memorable basslines abound.
The biggest shock about that video is that it has had 350k Youtube viewings. That's a lot!
Had I been asked to recall a Shriekback track, I would have totally forgotten about Nemesis. It did ring a few bells when I played the video there. I recall that I had picture discs of Lined Up, Hand on My Heart and Mercy Dash, but had blanked Nemesis from my mind.
Have just listened to Lined Up (plus Disco Mix), My Spine and Nemesis, and the first three were a bit disappointing, in retrospect. Nevermind, thanks for the reminder, evilC. And indeed, some fine mulletry right there.

It was too warm for a coat this morning.
He did look a teeny bit mullety around 1983, though.

eidt: In fact, his hair seemed so big and curly that I always used to assume he was quite small. I was stunned when I found out he was about 6'2''!
