Batesmotel Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Great bands and singers had talent. Fans cared less about looks. Besides we first met bands on the radio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Indeed. Look at the album covers of the big groups of the Sixties. Mostly plain to horse-ugly folk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zonny Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) Because styles change. What was considered attractive in the 70s no longer is. That and the advent of cosmetic surgery, to include, lypo, implants, Botox and the fact that everyone in the public eye now has what I refer to as “newscaster teeth” all contribute to what you call “better looking”. More food for thought:The whole beauty industry has grown expeditiously. My mom never in her life had a manicure/pedicure/ lash extension/ facial/message/brow wax etc. She was lucky to have a salon haircut every six months and even then, she always went to the local beauty school.

Dric902 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 MTV changed everything in ‘81 fashion statements, makeup, plastic surgery, Glam Rock the weird, long haired and nosed, skinny armed.....and incredibly talented rockers from the seventies and eighties. fell to the Autotuned, hawt, Enhanced, slick production over content, generic sounding music that can’t be distinguished from each other Ann Wilson, Stevie Nicks were absolutely beautiful and you could tell their voices in the first verse In a song you never heard before. Three Dog Night, Janice Joplin were ugly as sin, and you still recognized them. its not about the music anymore, it’s about the video. . 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love music, but with marginal hearing I can't separate the vocals from the band. The band overpowering the singer seems to be the norm now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always preferred them for Summer around town. Light jacket is just a little more camo over the pistol. I used to peruse the gun manufacturers for apparel on clearance, and I still have one from Smith & Wesson left that I got for $20. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maser Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Getting back to 1970s ugliness, I'm not so sure it was the long hair because look at someone like Jim Morrison. I'm not gay, but if I was to be turned, it would be from someone like him. He was a very attractive man. Granted he did look awful with a beard. Great, now I gotta go listen to Roadhouse Blues! RIP Jim Morrison. One of my favorite Liberals of all time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
