Words just fail me on this one. I never realized there could be a band so collectively ugly that even doctored, Glamour-shots style photos couldn't save any of them. These guys look less like a rock band and more like that depressing band your cheap uncle hired for his wedding that only knew how to play bad covers of old 70s rock ballads, right down to the depressing Tony Orlando look-alike.

Stop looking at them and listen to their great music! They have talent - they're not marrying your sister, you hear?!!
Reading the bio of the band the guitarist was formally in Steppenwolf. He also recorded and toured with Neil Young, Steve Winwood,Peter Frampton and others. Point being back than people got by on their talents and today we have people with looks but not as much talent..personally i take the talent.
These guys went on to form Alabama's COUCHOIS.
Agree with the top guy, musically these guys were very good, their 1980 album 'Nasty Hardware' is a bonafide radio rock/AOR classic.
Clearly the author never listened to their music nor did he know that the guitar player went on to play with pretty much every major artist in country and country rock music. He must be young and not remember people wore shags and had some ugly haircuts and clothes in the early 70's. Musically, this band rocks and are doing a gig back in their home town le Alabama Huntsvilon 8/27 at the Elks Lodge.
Maybe he needs to focus more on the music rather than looks as I bet there are some bad pictures of him too.
I think you guys missed the point that this blog is about chintzy (tacky, ugly, sophomoric, miserably failing....etc.) album covers and not about music.
