I'll start us off.....

And Pete Burns, though I don't know if he/she/it can even be classed as human...more plastic.
Borrell
Hawkins
Courtney Love
The dude from Editors
Paul Heaton

http://www.bbc.co.uk/totp2/features/wallpaper/images/1024/proclaimers.jpg
ahahahaha
i've nearly wet myself.
and that's them in their prime!
awww
the proclaimers aren't as bad as: http://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/1765000/images/_1766809_darius150.jpg
*skin crawls*
cheeeeeese!
nah
courtney's raddled, but she's not ugly.
Paul Heaton?!
BUT I LOVE HIS FACE!
What's there to love?!
the dude from editors is actually
rather nice looking.
twat
I bet you're an ugly bastard yourself
You've obviously not clicked on Anschul's profile.
wanker
i just have. Looks like a cunt to me.
so do
you by the way
The lead singer
of the Arcade Fire looks like Rik Mayall. Just thought I'd mention that.
ive always thought he looks like
jaws from james bond
Rik Mayall?!
BUT I LOVE HIS FACE!
Win Butler
is 1 part Christopher Walken & 2 parts Rik Mayall.
the guy from the pogues
whose name eludes me right now
Shane McGowan
yeah, I forgot him
jonny rotton
hard fi singer..
..eugh..
his eyes
are quite nice though.
he looks like jake from hollyoaks.
i don't watch
hollyoaks. but i'm guessing that's bad. i still like his eyes though- they're intense and pretty!! even if the rest isn;t.
hardi-fi man:

jake from hollyoaks:

eurgh!!
they don't really look anything alike in my opinion!! i guess cos i focus on eyes before anything else. that jake is really dull looking. it's not that the hard fi guy is reall great looking, but i don't think he;s ugly-look at his eyes, people!
ok
I looked properly and Hard Fi mans eyes are very nice.
no way
jake > hard-fi man
hard fi singer
I always think theres a touch of the Downs about him.
Ouch
i dunno why..
i think it's his mouth, looks like he's constantly snarling.
Will Oldham,
Bonnie 'Prince' Billy.
He's a bit of a merrick.
The Fall Out Boy singer
looks like Noddy Holder
the pasadenas
Does anyone here remember The Pasadenas - they were a 5 piece black vocal group late 80s. Anyway they had a few hits. But one of the singers looked like a black George Formby! I guess he didnt get as many groupies as the rest. Unless they played Clitheroe.
love the sketch where
Peter Kay talks about his nan's George Fornby Grill
I'm sorry
but the Boy Kill Boy singer. he is certifiably minger, he looks like he's wearing a ginger wig. he has hair which looks like mutton chops.
hahaha
totally
Do they wear wigs?
I only ask because I was watching Carling Live 24 earlier and Dave Berry interviewed a band who I believe were Boy Kill Boy minus the dodgy hairdos. Although this might be completely wrong...
I dunno
all I know is the lead singer is like the guy who does the racing, just younger. whats his goddamned name, he was on celebrity big brother and hes a LEGEND!
John McCririck!
YES
god how could I forget his name.

That one from Fall Out Boy
I see where your coming from
...sort of...
and the one from the cazals.he's a bit butt. Good band though
No they're not. They're shit.
The lead singer of The Rasmus makes my pancreas curdle. Seriously. WTF etc.
I now have the image
of The Rasmus' lead singer in my head :oS He is truly "facially challenged"
I have to obscure his face from my line of sight
when I am unlucky enough to glimpse them upon the television. I hate having to do that. I also have to do that when Margaret Beckett is on Question Time. It's annoying.
MMmm
I agree about Margaret Beckett too, I find her quite unsettling! I wish she'd go and take her damn caravans with her.
thingy from HIM
all the girls love him...well not ALL but the Bam/CKY-bumming/HIM crowd, and he looks like a failed porn star
Thom Yorke
I can't believe no ones said that yet. I love Radiohead but the man is terrifying.
^^^lol, i agree
his face does actually scare me. I hate it when his face is always in their videos. Argh, can't remember what the song is but that one where his head is in a bowl thing that gets filled up with water = horrible. Radiohead = proper ACE though.
No surprises.
And it's people like YOU with your judgmentalism and perverted views on aesthetics that made Thom what he is today. So... erm... keep it up?
yeah, I do kinda feel bad for that
but y'know, just my opinion and all that. But he's a fanatastic musician, he doesn't really need anything else right?
Legend has it
That when Thom went to my alma mater. Or rather, my university, he got so depressed because of all the pashmina-clad Mercedes wielding sloanes that he sunk into the depths of despair at the Lemon Grove one night and wrote Creep.
I once sunk into the depths of despair at the Lemon Grove and wrote poobumwilly on the wall. I'm just crazy, me.
lol, I'm not even sure what you're on about there
but it made me laugh.
Apologies. I went to Exeter University.
And so did Thom Yorke.
It depressed him because it's full of wanky third rate human beings with one tooth, and one eye (god) whose first words were "DADDY DADDY CAN I HAVE ANOTHER POLO PONY".
jeez
thom's not that bad!! man, u guys are harsh! all of the darkness though. that's plain ugly. and mick jagger. i mean how could all those supermodels fall for him?? oh yeah. the money and the fame.
no way, mick jagger was HOT.
http://www.poster.net/jagger-mick/jagger-mick-photo-xl-mick-jagger-6210590.jpg
those lips!
urgh
pete doherty....i really really dont see what people see in that guy!!?
haha
no!
http://www.haxby.net/pages/musician_pages/mickjagger2.html
http://archives.cnn.com/2000/SHOWBIZ/News/01/26/showbuzz/mick.jagger.jpg
haha
he hasn't aged very well.
but in the 60s he was beautiful. mmm...
so, so wrong!
he went from young and slimy to decrepit.
He's got that funny eye though.
And i dont think this has ever come up before has it?! Radiohead and its main writer Thom Yorke's success can possible be (partially) based on him feeling uncomfortable/inferior at the posh kids at his Uni. And the FACT THAT HE'S GOT A DODGY EYE. WORSE THAN BOWIE.
Isn't that what I just said?
Hello? Is this thing on?
You're breaking up
But i think i was emphasinig his dodgy eye.
He has every right to be in an ug list.
so it's wrong that i'm drawn to him then?
remember when he was on channel 4 news? he looked Not Bad.
Exhibit A
http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/arts/2004/07/28/sillitoe_borrell1.jpg
Not only slack-jawed fugly but an utter cunt to boot.
I served The Borrell once in a shop.
It was horrible. His face was all... there. And stuff.
I never said Thom was a bad man
Just horrendously ugly. He's clearly beautiful on the inside to write songs like Fake Plastic Trees. Apparently, his funny eye is because he was starved off oxygen at birth or something.
that
guy from motorhead is so ugly.
oh yeah, and
Morrissey.
Nooooooooooo *covers eyes*
Do not say such things!
joey ramone
that hobbit that won international pop idol too!
sorry
i just find him really creepy.
morrissey's lovely
despite his massive head, (skull not ego, like).
take that back.
Tubby keane singer
seems to have a reet pointy nose and is too large. So ugly=YES
y'all
forgot Mr potatoe head himself, Mick Hucknall?
i think
u hit the jackpot there, angysamoan.
the tubby keane singer
is tom chaplin
*wails*
my friend said I looked like him and I will NEVER, EVER, EVER forigive her.
I'm sorry
but i had to check your profile. Unfortunately, there's no photo posted yet. More ufortunate is the fact that you're a 15 year old female who looks like the Keane singer!? Please tell me not to believe your friend, otherwise you WILL be him from Keane from now on and for ever more...
Fear not...
I'm a world class detective...

I think that comparison was maybe a tad harsh.
I'm afraid
I'm a bit scared now! But hopefully anyone who sees those pictures of me does NOT think I am in any way, similar to Tom Chaplin...please!!
As mentioned above
the guy from Hard Fi is a beast. Beast.
Date rapist*
Yes?
That one from Hard-Fi's
eyes scare me!
that one from Aerosmith, ick.
the guy from
hard fi is actually the ugliest person i've ever seen in my life. The eyes just make him more creepy.
*shudders*
his eyes are terrifying
especially under his caterpillar brows.
i can't believe no one has mentioned meatloaf.
What about that guy...
...from Ultrasound? Tiny is it?
The Magic Numbers
All of them (i think), unless i havent been looked hard enough
Dominic Masters
erm
john barnes
you haven't
one of the girls is really pretty.
I think it's the one that does tambourines and shizzle.
the
yeah yeah yeahs are a bit brutal
well
haircut wise
Ol' Dirty Bastard
God rest his drug addled soul
