Worst Dressed Men In Rock
Esquire, the arbiter of cool in grandpa's youth, released its "Best-Dressed Men In The World" list. And, by no surprise, some rock stars made the Top Ten.
1. Pharrell WilliamsWhat Stereogum wants to know is: Who are the WORST-DRESSED MEN in rock 'n' roll? Rock chicks are too easy to pick on (especially w/ Fergie now sporting Depends), so stick with the dudes. Does Jacko get automatic top billing?
2. Jake Gyllenhaal
3. Kanye West
4. Jude Law
5. Andre 3000
6. George Clooney
7. Matt Lauer
8. Josh Lucas
9. Alex Kapranos
10. Jay-Z

Gotta go with ANYONE from Sum 41, My Chemical Romance, etc.
Neil Young's gotta be in there somewhere. :)
Score = 0
scott stapp (isn't he the guy from creed?) always wore wifebeaters tucked into leather pants. does he still count even if he's such a douche?
Score = 0
Elton John. Stryper.
Score = 0
DEfinitely, the worst dressed is:
Axl Rose XXI century model.
Simply disgusting and decadent.
Score = 0
a.r.e. weapons have their band's name on their motorcycle jackets and it's surprising that scissor sisters haven't hung themselves in thier suspenders
Score = 0
Peter Griffin from Family Guy wears the same godamn white shirt and green pants everyday. It makes me fucking sick.
Score = 2
Michael freakin' Jackson.
Snoop "feelin' way pimpish" Dogg.
Tommy Lee.
Score = 0
I don't think Jacko qualifies on two accounts:
1) This list is limited to those in Rock and Roll
2) This list is limited to men
Score = 0
I nominate J. Mascis for stealing the look from that hugging guy in that old Dave Matthews video.
Score = 0
someone got to Tommy Lee before I did, so I'll go with Dave Navarro
Score = 0
Marilyn Manson? Or is he just special?
Score = 0
Last time I saw him, Keith Richards' apparel looked like hot sick ass.
Score = 0
I second Topher's disqualifications of Jacko.
The first to come to mind was Jason Hill of Louis XIV and, although I feel for her, Courtney Love.
Oh, she's not a man.
Score = 0
Easy one. Carlos D from Interpol with that fucking gun holster. Unless I'm just an old man and the gay vapire hitman thing is cool nowadays.
Score = 0
Isn't dave navarro least dressed man in rock?
Score = 0
Vampire, that is
Score = 0
Does that chick w/ the moustache in Le Tigre count ?
Score = 0
yes!
i nominate that douchebag scott stapp. mr wifebeaters and trackpants.
Score = 0
Again, I must disqualify Scott Sapp under the first clause of Jacko's disqualification. Not only did he not ever play Rock and Roll; I think driving two hours to meet a girl in a Denny's in Tallahasee definitely indicates that regardless of whether he ever was in Rock and Roll, he is clearly not "in" Rock and Roll any longer.
Score = 0
how are yall forgetting k-fed? come on now!
Score = 0
STEVEN TYLER.
Score = 0
kid rock obviously does bad rap rock count as rock?

Weird Al
That dude from Twisted Sister

Score = 0
Why you all be hatin on my wifebeater and no shoe laces? And ain't this for Rock and Roll. Man I just tell Brit how much I <3 her and she gives me a check. My wedding outfit was da bomb. Who else own a track suit with the words pimp. Don't be hatin on my sties.
Score = 0
Don't forget the socks and flipflops combo....
Score = 0
On an off beat note, has anyopne seen corky's band? You know, the guy from "life goes on". Are they pretty good?
Score = 0
Lenny Kravitz. And K-Fed shouldn't count as being part of rock.
Score = 0
Hey! Don't be talkin' 'bout Peter Griffin that way!
Score = 0
Brian Setzer? I know he's a pretty far cry from being a "rocker", but he still dresses like an asshole.
Score = 0
Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes.
Score = 0
dee snider in twisted sister..
Score = 0
Mike Gordon.
Score = 0
Kanye West for bringing back the Polo shirt with "popped" collar, and introducing the "wear multiple Polo shirts at once" look. Although there's nothing funnier than seeing some 120 pound 14 year old with braces trying on two different polo shirts at once at the Polo Outlet so he can see how the colors "work together."
Score = 0
K-Fed, Scott Stereogum and/or Beck...I heard Gummer gets his pimp on at the same place they shop so watch out....
Score = 0
I like Kanye Sherbert West. I think about him literally when I dig into my Orange Tangerine Sherbert.
Also, I think Fergie should be counted. You're telling me that's not a man? I don't care if trannies don't consider themselves men after the Sex Op!
But fine...I'll say...Tommy Lee. Just because I hate Motley Crue and his new single.
Score = 0
I don't know about clothes, but someone should tell Mick Jagger that the mullet was old hat sometime around 1980. He is making it acceptable for grandpas everyone to sport the mullet.
Score = 0
Most definately My Chemical Romance. Ugh. And The Bravery. I think they buy there clothes at the Holloween Superstore in the Rock Star aisle with pirate action thrown in.
Score = 0
What about Fred Durst? It would probably be the same as Eminiem...
Score = 0
Worst dressed man: Courtney Love
Score = 0
A little surprised no one's nominated Bono. The Live Aid mullet? That hideous black-red jacket? All those hats? Ugh.
Love his music, though.
Score = 0
Its gotta be Russell Crowe, AKA Russ Le Rock. He's still wearing that jacket he was arrested in during Phonegate....
Score = 0
does corky from 'life goes on' seriously have a band?
i sat next to him on a plane once. he told my friends and i that if we shut up, we could have our pictures made with him. obviously, we did not shut up.
Score = 0
Y'all are mad rockist. If Kanye could be on the original list, the only reason he shouldn't be on this one is becuase of the possibility that folks might consider him well-dressed.
I'm sartorially open-minded. I think Stryper were friggin hilarious. But they get my vote just for the bumblebee-bible thing. Like fundamentalist devo plays Quiet Riot or something.
I also wanna throw in Journey circa the "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)" video. That shit was hilarious.
Score = 0
Definitely Paris Latis

Score = 0
That douchebag frontman from Death Cab.
Score = 0
http://www.taleoftwocities.org/images/death_for_decemberists.jpg
Score = 0
courtney taylor-taylor - a bad stylist's idea of a rough, rock and roll glam look! and those pierced ears...
Score = 0
the bravery
Score = 0
Pete Doherty.
Score = 0
Andre 3000.
Can anyone tell me WHY he is known for dressing well? His fashion is so tacky it's like what clashing colors and patterns can i throw on today to look different.
Score = 0
Sam Endicott of the Bravery is deeeeefinitely up there, and I'm surprised no one has mentioned Perry Ferrell yet...
Score = 0
I'll bet p.diddy had a good long cry when he saw he didn't make top 10.
And Devin, Andre 3k marches to the beat of his own fashion drum which you have to respect. Yeah he is pretty out there sometimes but at least he doesn't look like all the other little fashion clones running around. Alicia keys is the same way.
Now as for worst dressed, I know this is cheating since it's supposed to be men only but I've always found shania twain to be one of the worst dressers in the entire music industry. I mean my god at least pay someone else to buy your clothes if you are that rich and hopeless. The only thing that saves her is the fact she is a natural beauty... if it wasn't for that she would be really screwed. White trash walking fashion disaster. I guess it's true that you can take the girl out of Timmins but you can't take the Timmins out of the girl huh?
Score = 0
I think Alex Kapranos is a damn good dresser.
Score = 1
okay, what about that cowbell guy:
http://members.shaw.ca/msilicz/cowbell.jpg
odin's raven! check out those pants!
Score = 0
Carlos D from Interpol, for stealing his look (an apparently his face) from Count Chocula -
but that begs the question, who would be the rock Frankenberry? James Hetfield? Elton John? (and im not talking old elton John, I'm talking the Elton John that looks more like my gay aunt every day) What about poor ol' Boo berry?
Score = 0
Those fuckheads in Good Charlotte.
Score = 0
I don't know about rock n roll, but male Paris is by far the worst dressed celebrity.
Score = 0
Good Charlotte.
No doubt about it.
Score = 0
Lenny Kravitz. When he lost the dreads, he lost his fashion mojo. Now he's "designing" a hotel or some such crap.ugh.
Score = 0
Chris Martin definitely belongs on this list.
Score = 0
Okay...some people are picking amongst rockers' style and clothing from years ago (i.e. Stryper), so since Esquire's list is among CURRENT rockers/artists, I'll do the same.
Scott "Drug Destroyed Body" Weiland (formerly of Stone Temple Pilots and currently of Velvet Revolver). Poor guy looks horrid no matter what he puts on cuz of his emaciated body. So maybe that shouldn't count against him then??
My Chemical Romance and any band that dresses like them or similar to them.
Those 3 guys from Los Lonely Boys. They be screamin' for a makeover! Shark tooth necklaces and Dollar Store bandanas are never cool.
Jason Mraz (that "Remedy" "Mr. A to Z" guy)
Dude has some bare cheesy feet going on in the new vid too. That never helps your look.
Score = 0
Good Charlotte
Honestly they dress identically to all the other punk clone bands out there.
Marilyn Manson am I the only one? Although I take that back cos he's got his own goth-ish thing goin on so nevermind, but ew the dude from Gorillaz! I'm glad they're animated cos all of em are both fashionably challenged and pretty ugly!
i like feel good inc. tho
