Sexy-Ugly Picspam

I watched Kissing Jessica Stein (squee! Scott Cohen!) the other night and like so many others, I was intrigued by the concept sexy-ugly. Then I got to thinking, hey, I'm a big fan of sexy-ugly, especially when it comes to musicians.

Here is my list of some of my favorite sexy-ugly guys out there in no particular order.

1. Blixa Bargeld



Who is he?
He's the vocalist for Einstürzende Neubauten and has played with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Also does commercials for German DIY store Hornbach. Able to make the sound of strangled cats or dying children, according to Nick Cave.

2. Nick Cave



Who is he?
He is an Australian musician who was vocalist for The Birthday Party and later Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Also records under the name Grinderman. Stupendously sexy even though he has a weird face.

Bonus: Nick and Blixa make fangirls melt.



3. Gary Numan



Who is he?
David Bowie fan and synth-pop pioneer. Now he makes old goff music. Some might question his sexiness, but come on, dude's got a pilot's license. (Imagine that!)

4. Josh Homme



Who is he?
Singer for Queens of the Stone Age and member of Eagles of Death Metal. Most sexy in the music video for "Little Sister". That video made me remark, "It's like he thinks he's hot and somehow he makes us think so too." Takes advantage of my weakness for red heads.

5. Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith



Who are they?
They are Tears for Fears, motherfucker. Maybe not sexy so much as adorable. Minus five points for Curt's rat tail all those years.

6. Jack White



Who is he?
One-half of The White Stripes. Pale, stringy hair, shadowy-eyed, really awesome. An obvious addition to my list.

7. Moby



Who is he?
Multi-instumentalist, sample wizard, vegan. If you doubt his sexy, just know he dated Natalie Portman for a short while. Yeah.

8. Jarvis Cocker



Who is he?
Vocalist for Pulp. Writer of "Do the Hippogriff" from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. He might just be ugly if it wasn't for his creepily long fingers which are sexy. Also, key character in this fanfic I read.

9. Mike Joyce



Who is he?
Drummer for the 80s indie band The Smiths. Now does the DJ circuit. He's on this list only because he's no longer the ugliest Smith now that Andy Rourke's aged terribly. Good on you, Mike.

10. Pickles the Drummer



Who is he?
Fictional character. Drummer for animated band Dethklok. Sexy even though he has some sort of dread skull-et. That's talent. His Wisconsin accent really does it for me.
