Inspired by a Rush 30 DVD thread (a DVD which I didn’t know existed and has already been ordered by yours truly), I must ask: is there a band more hideously disfigured than Rush? I’m sorry to be that way, but, well, it’s weirdly a compliment. I mean, can you imagine a collection of similarly cursed individuals being as famous nowadays? I can’t.
For the record, I give Twisted Sister the silver medal. Even without the makeup, a truly hideous bunch. And talentless to boot.
I take it you haven’t seen pictures of Steve Tyler, Mick Jagger or Three Dog Night lately?
Oh, I have. But, to butcher a wonderful proverb:
Some were born ugly, others achieve ugliness, and some have ugliness thrust upon them.
Rush? They were born ugly.
Keith Richards is uglier than Rush.
All the guys in Kiss seem to have been hit with the ugly stick early on, even before they discovered makeup.
The lead singer of The Sleepy Jackson is Ark-of-the-Covenant, Oh-God-I-can’t even-look-at-him ugly…
Hmm… Nickelback is all ugly, but brought further down because of that lead guy. I can’t look at him without wincing. Ouch.
Meatloaf.
Bryan Adams.
Lyle Lovett.
Okay, not bands, but pretty ugly.
NOFX. Most punk bands, though, really. Not the shiny, pretty-boy pop punk bands, no, I mean *punk * bands. Not usually a pretty bunch.
The Bloodhound Gang. 
Though I have a super secret crush on Jimmy Pop. He’s homely as sin.
Oh, and that Simply Red guy. Yahoo, that’s ugly.
Ah, one more reason to be secretly in love with you. Dude, you rock!
Here is a fairly recent photo of Alex Lifeson. Now he’s put on a few pounds since This pic, but he ain’t no Keith Richards, at any age!
Tom Petty is pretty heinous. If he could act, he’d have made a great Scarecrow in the Batman movie - no mask needed.
Back to the Stones: the only ones who didn’t make you want to jam white hot knitting needles in your eyes were Bill Wyman, Brian Jones, and Mick Taylor.
Is Rush the ugliest band? Ah, no. That would be Motorhead.
Geddy Lee single-handedly brings the average down, it has to be said. The other two are perfectly presentable.
Anyway, what about radio-friendly unit shifters Keane? Admittedly, one of the people in that photo isn’t actually in Keane, but still…
Best link presentation of the day. Surely. And I forgot about Motorhead, which I sincerely regret.
Rush the ugliest band? Not by a country mile. In fact, I’d have to say that they are one of the better looking bands.
Okay, so maybe Geddy is no John Travolta, but by rock star standards, he’s doing fine.
My vote has to go to Franz Ferdinand

Guess who isn’t getting into REM tonight?
That’d be me.
Wow…I ever confused myself. The above comment bears no ill will towards REM, the band, but rather the rapid-eye-movement sleep I will not be getting, as I will constantly awakened by the grotesque visages of Franz Ferdinand
Surely in order to be awakened by terrifying visions of Franz Ferdinand, you would already have to have achieved REM sleep, that being the stage of sleep during which dreams occur?
