They also like to throw in a Z instead of a S as to make the name more "fancy" It still exist to this day but is mostly popular in small cities out in the sticks. Here is a contemporary one called Lasse Stefanz (note the Z at the end) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leemond2008 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) first time I've ventured into this thread, out of the people/bands featured, I have listened to the following today: The Who The Clash Paul weller/The Jam Rolling stones/The Faces Slade Oasis The Fall All of whom feature in this thread, and there is no doubt that once a few more stellas and scrumpy jacks have gone down Queen will almost definitely be played. Either I'm attracted to ugly musicians or ugly musicians make music I can relate to (most likely stemming from being ugly) Edited April 17, 2020 by leemond2008 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once a year I listen to one of them. It's beyond crap and should be destroyed for the sake of humanity. But the tradition is strong with this one...

dAVe80 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The odd band aside, most bands don't have a full line ups of lookers. As much as I love them, I always considered Pixies as being an odd looking bunch. Edit: Although I did/do have a bit of a crush on Kim Deal.

Chindie Posted November 9, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 9, 2020 I don't know whether it's fair to nominate the Verve, but it's definitely fair to say that Richard Ashcroft in his prime was an especially ugly bloke. Fell off the top of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted November 9, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 9, 2020 I’ve seen a clip of Springsteen saying that one of the many things he loved about The Animals was that there wasn’t a single good looking member in the band which in turn made him feel he could look the part. They’re not a contender for the ugliest band, but there’s an argument for them being among the most average looking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t tell which of these was closest to an average height (although I kinda guessed probably not the far left fella), so googled Dury’s height for a reference point. Didn’t know he was 5’3”. I wanted to suggest Bad Manners mainly because of Buster, but having looked at the individual members they’re not as post worthy as I’d thought.

Bass player was 4’ and the drummer is on crutches and couldn’t use the pedals, lead singer had polio. What’s not to like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
