You Could Be Ugly in the 80's

So I was super sick last week and had some time to kill. I watched a bunch of 80's videos on VH1 Classic. After about an hour, I realized that for all the bad fashion and silly music, the 80's pop scene had one redeeming value that we have lost today. You could be UGLY and still have a hit!

Take Animotion for example. Behind all the big hair and makeup, this band is UGLY. But no one cared. Give them some hairspray and eyeliner and all is forgiven. Sometimes, you didn't even need big hair. Look at Phil Collins. Great 80's music from a balding guy that has always looked about 10 years older than he is. I think we should bring that idea back.


UGLY POP STARS UNITE!

Actually...you couldn't be ugly AND fat. Take the case of Christopher Cross. He had those two kinda popular songs "Arthur's Theme" (When you get caught between the moon and New York Cityyyy!) and "Sailing" (Saiiiiiiiiling take me awaaaaaaaaaaay). That guys was really popular UNTIL everyone saw what he looked like in the music videos and his career totally tanked.
