Best Bouffant Hair Style In Music

Edit: Gottverdammter! Did I really just post the exact same thing about the B-52's that I did two and a half years ago?! I really need to start reading these things more carefully before posting.

Two pages and no mention of Ronnie Spector. For shame.rs13_copy1.jpg

And no musician hair discussion is complete without discussing Neal Schon's late 70's afro:

That's not even the biggest it got.

Yeah, I was trying to find a better photo, but I seemed to have trouble getting access to the "right click" menu on other photos. The better pictures seem to be on commerce sites, and I think at least one of them is set up you can't right click (I guess so you can't just save the picture as it appears on the site).

If we're counting white-boy afros, I've always been partial to Steppenwolf's Goldy McJohn.

Sib Hashian of Boston is the ultimate here:

Me too, I nearly reposted the Shades of Deep Purple cover, before thinking "oh, someone's beaten me to it", and then realised it was my post anyway.

Roger Glover recalls somewhere that, when they first saw Blackmore, Paice and Lord in person, he and Ian Gillan had trouble trying not to laugh at their wild bouffants.

I forgot about Sib. A little more prog-appropriate: I believe Richard Pinhas had some pretty amazing hair during the 70's too:

Not music-related, but it reminds me of the story of Mollie Sugden having her own hair dyed and styled for the pilot episode of Are You Being Served?...only to learn that the episode went out in black-and-white. She used wigs for the balance of the series. (Also, in an “Aluminum Christmas Trees” moment, I learned that it was the actual fashion for women in England of the 40s and 50s to dye their hair garish colors not found in nature, thanks to this guy.)

Music related, I think I remember Mariska Veres (Shocking Blue) wore a wig, which was troublesome when people wanted to clip some of her hair.

Nick Cave.
When he was good.
Before he turned into Neil Diamond

Phil Spector

Looks like he was auditioning for Dr. Who.

I think I used to pull a lot of him out of my lawn in the summer. Back when I had a lawn.

I dunno, I think I'd still give it to Richard Pinhas. I can only imagine what kind of maintenance it takes to keep a head of hair like that looking good.

They even wrote a song about it:



Also: I can’t imagine any human being actually having their hair like Cindy Wilson did in the “Song for a Future Generation” video. Can hair even do that?
