Tonsorial triumphs - great haircuts we have loved
Posted by mojoworking on 1 February 2012 - 8:05am.
Examining the sleeve of the 1986 Charlie Sexton LP Mixed Impressions earlier, I was mightily - ahem - impressed by the sheer size and scale of the gravity-defying haircut he affected back then. Naturally, this got me thinking about other inspirational, outrageous, bonkers and just plain cool barnets.
Best haircuts in rock?

I refer you to my learned colleague Mr Crowther
Its not strictly what you're asking for but it might help get the ball rolling - I have laughed immoderately at many threads on here but for some reason this one made me helpless -

I genuinely think...
... that Firestarter era Keith from The Prodigy is a great rock haircut. Looks daft, but not.
Ian McCulloch
and his barnet were a great rock 'n' roll marriage:
Flock of Seagulls
The defence rests, m'lud.
I'm prepared to bet
that the fleeting mention Flock Of Seagulls got in Pulp Fiction was worth a million dollars to the band and their career.
Charlie's head
is being dry-humped by my dog.
I see your Flock Of Seagulls, and I raise you..
*Sits back, cracks knuckles, awaits victory parade*
I bet none of them ever get
I bet none of them ever get that picture out when the other people in the pub start with the "Bollocks were you in a band!" line.
The Thompson Twins
From The 80s (when else could it be?)
Phil Oakey
Kajagoogoo
And today...
As Phil demonstrates, less is often more.
That guy on the right
has really stupid hair.
That guy on the left
looks like Barney Rubble.
If Barney had a fantastic hair style.
Moz's riah never looked lovelier.
That was his best EP ever. Perhaps anyone's.
Let's see that tracklist again:
Everyday Is Like Sunday
Will Never Marry
Sister I'm A Poet
Disappointed
....bona. (Or do I mean boner?)
Depends how much
you liked it :-)
Mmmm, I can practically smell the Brylcreem...
Gorge.
It's gotta be
Sensible for work, but showing you are still a wild and crazy rock and roll type... it's gotta be the mullet

Looks PARTICULARLY good with camoflage Army surplus gear
I think I'm the winner here.....
Ladies & Gentlemen, I give you Hamish Stuart from the excellent "Average White Band"
I see your AWB
And raise you a Peter Hope-Evans of Medicine Head
I see your Peter Hope-Evans
and raise you a Simon Cowe
Is that Catweazle?

Actually it's William Blake's Nebuchadnezzar. Even the tortured expression on his face is the same.

That's not Peter Hope-Evans
It's that American woman what's in Downton Abbey.
Oooh, it's good.
But I still think Hamish wins as his is wider !!
Ahhh, the eighties...
Martin Gore of Depeche Mode
He's always had shall we say...his own style.
Nick Cave..Rowland S.Howard
They both always had great hair...
The 90s stopped the silly haircuts of the 80s
Meanwhile, over in New Zealand
this was happening:
All that gel
Wouldn't expect too many "Split Ends"? Eh readers (chortle)
