Greatest 80s Hairstyle

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Though speaking of Hairstyles. Is it just me or does anyone think that by comparing the photo of me in my avatar to my one in the members gallery I look like a totally different person? Do they also find it hard to believe that there both photos of me? :|
I'd say considerably moodier in the profile pic.

It's obviously got to be Mike Score. The problem is that the picture in the original post doesn't do him justice. Try this instead:

*runs for cover*
Boy George's haircut was just too damn good to be in the list. wicked plaits/ribbons combination.
When I said 'greatest 80s haircut' I meant greatest in a 'what on earth were they thinking?' kinda way.

None of Duran Duran's hairstyles were particularly outrageous.

Hmm, now that's a tougher omission to argue against. to be honest I'm not a fan of them, and they didn't occur to me when I was making the poll.
it's too late to add em now.

Please don't reply by whinging about how some obscure vocalist from your favourite mickey mouse goth band isn't in the list.
:lol:

Don't know what he looks like. and he wasn't exactly an 80s legend, unlike Howard, Nik etc.

Don't know any of Toyah's songs, so I can't really call her an 80s legend. why do her songs never appear on 80s compilations? it's a mystery...

Phew! I think I've successfully answered all of my critics.
it's hard work being a genius.

As I had nearly all these hairstyles at some point I'll have to go for the FoS guy, as that's the one that was too daft even for me.

These days, people are so dull and self conscious.

Just watched the Porno section of Trilogy and Mr. Gallup not only plays a mean bass and looks the 'rawk' part but, also has fairly BIG hair.

Rather disturbingly, while I was trawling the net for 80spics, I stumbled across a Kajagoogoo forum, similar in it's setup to our beloved 'myheartland'...

http://kajagoogoo.proboards.com/

Even more disturbingly, it seems to be rather popular.
I think that we ashould all register.
