Nik Kershaw Limahl

Perhaps the natural home of the mullet is in the music industry. David Bowie was a pioneer in the '70s as the pictures below testify. Their heyday was in the 1980s although Rick Witter is determined to uphold a fine tradition of bad hair. However, I need more musical mullet pictures so if you've got any, contact me!

'80s New Romantic fops whose fat singer managed to marry a supermodel. The highlight of their career was undoubtedly having their song Rio used on an advert for the Rover Metro.

Duran Duran

Bono

In between churning out the odd catchy tune, Bono spent the '80s preaching to the masses about all kinds of boring crap. But what a mullet!

David Bowie

The master of androgyny and inspiration to Marilyn Manson, Suede, Brian Molko et al sported a terrific red number during his Ziggy Stardust phase.

Billy
Ray
Cyrus

The king of Country + Western mullets needs no introduction.

Nick
Cave

Please mum! Make the scary man go away! Mr Cave, however, is not a true Mullethead; for a start he makes great music and his fanbase does not consist of greasy grunge-wannabe teenagers.

Michael Bolton

The housewife's favourite has polluted our airwaves with a string of piss-poor syrupy ballads.

Lionel  Ritchie

Once, twice, three times a mullet.

Rod  Stewart

Another '70s mullet pioneer, Rod inspired a number of copycat haircuts amongst his adoring fans, including (most embarrassingly) my father.

Limahl was the singer in the appalling Kajagoogoo. They enjoyed hits with songs such as "Too Shy". Thankfully, he is now out of the public eye.

Nik
Kershaw

Another '80s icon of shite. Nik's songs included "The Riddle" and "Wouldn't It Be Good".

A Thompson Twin

I am informed that this group were once popular in the '80s but I have never heard of them. Apparently, there were more than two members of the band, making the band's name a hilarious joke.
