The worst of the Eighties' music scene: The haircuts.

[Blazer]

Well with myself having had my childhood in the eighties I was a regular viewer of chartshows (MTV didn't exist in Europe until later and even when it came around, not everybody had sattelite back then) and only now when I re-watch those musicvideo's does it occur to me what downright silly hairdo's those bands I used to listen to as a kid had.

So I figure it to be fun to put the most memorable cuts forwards.

Desireless - "Voyage Voyage"

The singer has a do that reminds me of one of these...


Kajagoogoo - "Too Shy"

Okay, the eighties were the time of the Mullet and this singer wears a two-tone mullet, but the real kicker is what's on the Bassplayer's head: platinum blonde afro with little braids hanging below, his do looks like a nuclear explosion.

Sigue Sigue Sputnik - "Love Missile" F1-11(live)

Don't ask just watch

Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Show me your soul"

Multiple ponytails for Anthony Kiedis in this one but also pay attention to Flea's platinum mohawk...

Human League - "Open your Heart"

Just look at leadsinger Phil Oakley, you can't possibly miss it, by far the wierdest haircut of all time...

[Dave W]

The first one looks like Beaker of the Muppets.

I'm glad everyone has normal hair styles today, like the Leningrad Cowboys.

The clips are technically late-70s, but these early new-wavers were always sportin some gnarly dews:

Tonight I was cruisin' down Holywood Blvd. & saw 2 old guys who were diehard longhairs from the 80s with studded leather jackets & tight black jeans...but now they're bald on top. Man, they looked goofy.
So I shouted:

HAIR BANDS FOREVER!

...& the chicks walkin' behind 'em busted up laughing. Ha haahaaaa
