2. Iggy Pop
I can't look at old pics of him without feeling queasy. Heroin is horrible stuff.

28. How does anyone spread their legs for this man?
Gene has had sex with more people than any 15 friends you know put together, even if they are sex workers.



He's not as ugly as say, Quentin Tarantino, but he can still make your eyes water.

Catch an old interview with him on Fresh Air with Terri Gross if you want a double barreled dose of Gene's "personality".

"We're not a rock band we're a rock brand"

Sheesh. At least they don't sell Buicks with "Detroit Rock City"

All that said, Klaus Meine should be on the list.

37. That is who my cat is named for.....
Ace is his first name and Mario (for Mario Lemieux) is his middle. Big ole black cat with huge green/yellow eyes. He is an old man now at the age of 12. He rules the house and he knows it.

Even with their tin whistles, accordians and banjos, The Pogues rocked harder than a lot of the pretty boys. And Shane is so ugly that he's beautiful.

That "guitar" shit only works if you're famous.

Otherwise you are just on your own. (which, I think, is as it should be.)

He looks absolutely hideous...so ugly he shouldn't be allowed around children; the sight of him might stunt their growth.

And even uglier on the inside.

It's hilarious that the song is called "How I wrote Elastic Man," but he sings it as "Plastic Man" to make fun of fans who fook oop his lyrics.

(Or do I have it the wrong way round?)

70. What's interesting to me about this thread is that there's a
differentiation between "outside" and "inside" ugly. And it's obvious that "inside" ugly has a lot to do with the perceived appearance. Some of thoses who got mentioned are really good people with a scary visage. But many otherwise decent-looking people are such assholes that they show up ugly.
