i been sitting here waiting for this, i can't belive it took so long. hey is that a picture of chris squire in a wedding?
I respect a lot of jazz players: bass players and non-bass players, so you won't get any names out of me. But I must say that not all of them are too princely. 
Lemmy. Hands down.
Flea is a fine runner up, but not really even in the race.
Lemmy seems to be, soup-to-nuts, just plain butt-ugly.
And his public persona is that of an unpleasent thug... where flea is just an art-kook... Of course, if we're judging character, Duff McKagin needs to be mentioned...
oh yeah, just looks. Yep. Lemmy. No doubt.
Now - How about the game I used to play with baseball players - Team all ugly!, or in this case "Band All Ugly" - Who would be the drummer, guitar, keys, vocals...?

There was a band from San Fran called the Residents.(I think they were from that city).Anyway,noone has ever seen their faces,they would always wear a mask or something.Maybe the previously mentioned artists could,well,you know try that.Man,this can be really mean.Doh!!!
the residents are not was, the residents still are, still put out odd but great music, about 6 months ago they put out an CD called wormword and its great, there is a real audio movie on the internet of one of their whole concerts and it looks cool, i forget where i saw it but Bad Link Removed would be a start, and yes no one knows what they look like, they still hang out in their huge eyeballs and top hats
I'm glad they are still together and the mystery of their looks is still intact.I must say there is something attractive about mystery,sometimes it's better to not know certain things.
