Thom Yorke of Radiohead is quite homely but that dude from The Verve is downright scary!

the lead singer of "The Fall", Mark E Smith is pretty ugly, he looks like a weasel with a few teeth knocked out.

Bump.

Saw a thread on another website asking for people to vote for bands with the ugliest lead singer. Thought there might be something like that here too. Not going by the poll list, I'd like to nominate these three that immediately come to mind:

Nickelback, Fall Out Boy, Three Doors Down

I saw Aerosmith last in 2006... Bear in mind both Tyler and Perry are both pushing 60... and when Steven went out into the walkway with his shirt unbottoned and his chest exposed, gyrating his hips and what-not, there was an entire row of smokin' hot jailbait and recently legal girls behind me shrieking and screaming and soaking through their holiest of holies and nearly passing out from unadorned, purely distilled animal LUST.

We should all be so "ugly". These guys have FORGOTTEN more beautiful women then we will ever know.

What the heck does that have to do with them being ugly? Who cares. Women (and not all, thankfully) will sleep with any rock star.

It proves angry little men with fragile egos will stop at nothing to dethrone anyone who throws them into the pangs of avarice. "Ugly" is subjective. "Pathetically lame", on the other hand, is easy to spot.

I don't know how anyone could vote for anyone but Shane McGowen.

Christ, on his good days he looks like a skid row bum. At worst, he looks he stepped out of a fucking George Romero gut muncher.

(Do a google image search if you don't know what he looks like.)

Iggy Pop or Dee Snyder. Either is fine by me as ugliest.

I think he can look fairly normal when he isn't hamming it up for the cameras with those teeth/gums, but he definitely wins for most self-inflicted ugliness. I think Dee Snyder takes the cake for classic ugly.

Assuming they mean "currently", I'm going with Wacko Jacko.

How is Chad Kroger not on this list? Or Joey Ramone (granted he is dead, but still). However given the list, Dee Snider wins this one.
