We're all familiar with the prominence of sex symbolism in the music industry; often, lead singers are regarded as having that something extra in Darwinian terms because they know how to lead a band. I think it's high time we put these conventions aside and start honoring those among us who have excelled despite their overwhelming physical inadequacies.

Feel free to post some lovely ladies too, if that's your thing.

I cannot find a single flattering picture of this guy, but he managed to beat the odds and now fronts two (albeit mediocre) indie bands. Good for him.

It might be an insult to the memory of what was one of the true great guitarists, but this guy took a mighty swing from the ugly tree and still managed to front what was one of the most influential punk bands ever.

Heh, he might have looked better if it weren't for the Marfan Syndrome.

A few years ago, I remember seeing that Chad Kroeger (Nicklebacks singer) was voted the Ugliest Person In Music or something. Obviously they didn't take everyone into account, because I'd say the guys you pictured are worse off, but the really funny part was he beat out Maralyn Manson for the top spot.

I just remember seeing that and thinking though, "What kinda f*cked up list is that to make?" ><

Okay I'm gonna go ahead and say it.... I love him but:

Yea - he's disgusting. It's not so much his looks as much as the obvious self-obsession by them. It's pretty obvious that his music and other attention-seeking devices are based on it - and he's a terrible muse for himself. At least have the musical talent to back it up if you're gonna go that route..

I disagree. Sure, his looks may have benefitted by some weight loss but they're still more appealing than many frontmen - punk and otherwise.

To me some of the old-time actual sex symbols are the worst - like Mick Jagger and Steven Tyler
