Tonight is the night for love, but if you don’t have someone to hold and feel like lashing out at rock stars, this one’s for you. Blogcritics named their choices for “Ugliest Musicans Ever.” Feast your eyes:

12. Journey
11. Roger Waters (Pink Floyd)
10. Gwar
09. Haterush
08. Alex Van Halen (Van Halen)
07. Madonna
06. Jim Skafish (Skafish)
05. Thom Yorke (Radiohead)
04. Lemmy (Motörhead)
03. Gene Simmons (Kiss)
02. G.G. Allin
01. Shane MacGowan (The Pogues)

Feel free to argue #1. But you better have a strong case.

  2. How about that lead singer from “The Darkness”?

    Hello! Does anyone remember Marilyn Manson? That dude scares the crap out of me. Also, David Bowie before he got the porcelain veneers on his teeth. Permanent Howloween!

    GG!!!!!!!!!!!

  5. Canned Heat, no doubt ugiest of all time.

    OK. So he’s not a singing musician but a musician never-the-less…Andrew Lloyd Webber! He’s brilliant but one scary looking sum-bitch! Have you SEEN Marilyn Manson? Holy crap he gives me nightmares. And whoever thinks Fergie is ugly is either jealous or knows they’re not worthy of wiping her ass…PUH-LEEZ?!

    I never knew Gollum was a member of the Pogues!

  8. Elliott Smith? Although I guess it depends on when the picture was taken. And shut up, I think the girl from the Decemberists is cute.

    If you haven’t seen Claude-9 from The GREEN Brothers~~~~~You AIN’T SEEN UGLY!!!

  10. brent  |   Posted on Feb 20th, 2007

    Mick Jagger should be on this list for sure.

    There ARE NO Musician’s Left in Music. A Bunch of MuckA Facka Ulgies’,….But there is no one,…and I mean NO ONE,…Uglier Than Wacko Jacko! I doubt there is a Fruitier Nut as Well!

    All of the (so-called) Ugly Musician’s on this List so far, do Not even count,…none of them know how to play an Instrument and none of them can sing. Long Live Classic Rock!

  13. barb  |   Posted on Feb 21st, 2007

    How about anyone from the Rolling Stones or Aerosmith? Its about if they are sexy or if they are good musicians, just are they ugly like Marilyn Manson! YUK!

  14. angie  |   Posted on Feb 21st, 2007

    I agree with the person that asked why isnt Lyle lovett on this list ewwww is there anyone uglier besides Shane Mcgowan???

  15. Dave  |   Posted on Feb 21st, 2007

    OK, Aol shame on you for this. In a world where people are already selfconcious, u have top make people include a list of “ugly” people to your site? Who, in Gods name, is naming this list? 12 yr olds? Thats how immature and disrespectful this is. There are people on that list that I think are just fine looking, but the others have their own qualities as well. And you wonder why Miss Spears would shave her head. All I have to say is SHAME ON YOU AOL AND SHAME ON THE REST OF YOU WHO THINK YOU HAVE ANY RIGHT TO JUDGE ANYONE BESIDES YOURSELF!!!!

  17. jennie  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    well, you really shouldn’t consider eddie vn halen for ugliest musician for the simple fact he is having treament for cancer-lung or throat can’t remember. michael jackson would be one of my picks for the simple fact: he was a cute black kid that turned into a white woman!!!!! i’m not saying i’m the most beautiful person in the world or even one of the most beautiful people in the world but DAMN there is ugly and then there is FUGLY!!!!

  18. mike burke  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    So Rodger,why the long face? Well. Waters’ music tends to be introspective and sad.That might explain that mug.He puts on a great show!

  19. Bret  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    What about Ed from LIVE?? DISGUSTING!!!! he is sooooo nasty

  20. holly  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2007

    Oh yeah. Definately Madonna! Her smile. Yuck! She looks like she stinks too.

  21. Amberella  |   Posted on Feb 24th, 2007

    Gwar is not ugly. They are amazing .

  22. spinal tap

  23. Ummm, how could Madonna make the top 12 and no one has even mentioned Iggy Pop!! I don’t think Madonna is attractive but she definitely isn’t worthy of the top 12 ugliest musicians.

  24. holly  |   Posted on Feb 26th, 2007

    Iggy Pop is kind of sexy in a weird way.
    What about the lead singer of the New York Dolls?

  25. Iggy Pop is butt ugly.

    I remember when I was in Panama in 1985 and Madona’s playboy spread came out. Gross. She had armpit hair longer then the hair on my head.

    I also saw the NY Dolls in the early 70s when they warmed up for Slade. They sucked. And they were ugly in drag. I think the lead singer later recorded under the name Buster Poindexter.

    How about that skank Courtney Love.

    MARILYN MANSON IS UGLYYY????? HE IS B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L !!! HE IS P-E-R-F-E-C-T!!! hm .. ugliest persons MADONNA …….. MICHAEL JACKSON …….. BRITNEY SPEARS :) )) .. but fuck up …. not Marilyn Manson :) he fucking rulesss

  27. shane macgowan is ugly and perpetually drunk. but there’s no arguing he’s a fucking genius.

    How dare someone say Richard Ashcroft? Leave him out of this discussion– otherwise, the list reflects the truth, 100%.
    Now, what about a list for the shortest musicians? I’ll start: Green Day: all of them.

  29. rosie  |   Posted on Dec 18th, 2009

    noel gallagher is easily the ugliest musician ever.those eyebrows have a life of their own,has he never owned any tweezers? he was a typical scally lad from one of the roughest parts of manchester,but for some strange reason he got lucky,he looks like a retard from the early seventies.

    You are all so superficial, its pathetic. I can’t believe you are all debating vanity crap like this. Does it make you feel better for being mediocre yourselves? What a shallow focus for spend your lives on.

    No wonder the world is so fu*ked up.

    And no, Im not ugly, so you cant rationalise your behaviour by pulling that tired old line out.
