Look as good as you sound...huh?

Lyle Lovett

When a brilliant singer-songwriter becomes known more for who he was married to than for his potent, gutsy tunes, then you know something has to be wrong. Mr Lovett prefers the shaded side of his house, sitting in a rocking chair of his own making, while the Hollywood sun beats down on the other Beautiful People.
Still, I'm sure they have hair salons, or at the very least barbers, out there in Whereveritis, Texas.

igue Sigue Sputnik

Subsequent decades have been very unkind to the 80s, and here is one of the very good reasons why. Sigue Sigue Sputnik, named after a Russian gang (how about that for Cold War Punk attitude?) took it way, WAY over the top. If you could get by their ridiculous appearance, you might admit to being infected by their electronic pop and driving rhythms.

Queen's Brian May

Brian May and his Red Special: When a fireplace met a motorbike.

It's likely that being within nuclear-fallout range of something like Freddie Mercury just makes you say 'why bother' in the dressing room, but May could have just tried. Being the best guitarist on the planet may have been enough, but after a few decades of the same wig, somebody (perhaps his hair stylist?) may have demanded a change.

Marilyn Manson

Sorry for stating the obvious, but isn't this the definition of TRYHARD? Unfortunately this shock rocker has way too much talent - but
way too much makeup for anyone who doesn't need to upset their parents to have ANY of his records.
Ok, we get it, outrage sells (yawn).

Exactly. Huh? What is THAT all about? Look As Good As You Sound is about GRAPHIC design, not wardrobe, but some people could use help in every area.

Here is a round up of some of the people we think could do with a little makeover. Some of them went too far, some not far enough. Ok, so they may have made their millions, but just imagine if they had LOOKED good too?*

Twisted Sister

"And Satan whispered in my ear, 'I'll make you a star if you listen to me', and just at that moment my good friends Reason and Dignity ran for the door, slamming it behind them. That was the last I saw of those little guys..."

Anyone else?
