My #1 vote is to old rubberlips himself ..Mick Jagger
close 2nd between Iggy Pop and Michael Hutchence

The ladies section has a clear winner... Patti Smith

I don't think Patti Smith is ugly at all. But my vote for ugliest male singer would definitely go to Steven Tyler. He makes me cringe whenever I see him. Monstrously repulsive.

An interesting subset is the ugly but musically talented guys who (at least for a while) got women who were at the time widely considered among the handful of most beautiful in the world:

Billy Joel (Christy Brinkley)

Patti is lovely.

And, I'm sorry, I must fervently disagree on the Iggy Pop vote. He's a pure primal street walkin' cheetah exuding a deadly raw sexuality.

Oh and btw, I'm not exactly endorsing this. I just think it's far more appropriate in its own

Pere Ubu's Dave Thomas is a great lump of fright as well.

That pic of Pete Burns is truly frightening. Never cared for him anyway. Ugly male has to be Shane from the Pogues. Female, take your pic from any of the bleach-blonde, siliconed, brainless bimbos littering the music scene today. I'll take the raw, in

The lead singer from Romeo Void(forgot her name). Before i saw her, I thought from her voice she'd look like the singer from Concrete Blonde. Boy was i wrong.

For an ugly female pop star (new waver even) - how about Alison Moyet? She got where she

and male...umm...this one's tough...maybe Arturo Vega from Suicide but i'm gonna say Danny Elfman
