The next time you think “man, I want to be cool. Like, rock star cool”, we want you to think about this. Rockers are just like everyone else, and they make some incredibly stupid choices when it comes to their personal appearance, too.
If you’re fretting about that receding hairline, turning your hair into the “Fryar Tuck”, relax. There have been far worse coifs than yours, and they were by choice!
So, in tribute to bad hair days everywhere, we bring you the 10 Worst Hairdos in Rock and Pop History.
10. The Richard Marx
We’re not quite sure what this is. The Feather Duster? The Permed Mullet? It’s like a Trojan helmet made purely of hair.
9. The Nelson Brothers
If you were walking up on the Nelson Brothers from behind, you’d think to yourself “oooh, hot chicks.” Once they turned around, though, you’d say “Meh. Those chicks were just alright.”
8. The “Aguilera”
There are no fewer than 73 stupid decisions going on here. The ultra bleaching, the crimpin’. We’re not sure if Christina was going for the Dumbledore, or the Dee Snider. Perhaps a bit of both.
7. The “Spector”
Phil could have a list of his own, and his baldheaded Riff Raff real hair might not even make it on that list.
6. The Metallica Mullet
There are so many mullets to choose from. There’s the hockey mullet, the Achy Breaky mullet. Hetfield’s mullet inspired the most clones, though, so he makes the cut. (It’s fun watching all those dudes with mullets age, without changing their hairdo. It brings up another mullet: the Male-Pattern Baldness Mullet).
5. The Prodigy
Staring at this douche for more than a second causes a gut response to want to punch him in the eyeball. We’re gonna have to get IT over here now and have them fix this fist-sized crack in our monitor.
4. The Cher
What Phil Spector was for men, Cher was for women. No one, repeat, no one has had so many freaky lion mane variations for as long as Cher. You remember Cher in the movie Mask? Which one was she, again?
3. Axl with Cornrows
White people. You have to let black people have certain things that you can never, never have: Corn rows, dreadlocks, and Lisa Lampanelli.
2. The Flock of Seagulls
The measuring stick for bad hair, forever. It was like the Misfits meets Grandpa Munster.
1. The Boingo
It’s hard to believe, but there was a worse ‘do than the Flock of Seagulls, and it belonged to Johnny “Vatos” Hernandez, the drummer of Oingo Boingo. If you had the Flock of Seagull, and someone started making fun of you, you could always put your hair down. Johnny was stuck with it.
The worst part? Johnny hasn’t learned in 20+ years. Here’s Johnny now:
