In the Canterbury world:

Daevid Allen is looking more and more like a crazy space hobo.

Later Soft Machine was a crazy bunch (but Mike Ratledge

 is seriously cool):

 

And You Have to love Robert Wyatt (Robert Wyatt = Prog Hero):

   

old, wheelchair bound and still kicking gotta love the man!

Gary's not changed much, has he?


No he hasn't, except he now looks to be about 20 years old instead of 14.

I don't think these guys are what you could call progressive, but I don't think they come much worse looking than them.

Hey man you guys are judging these guys on their looks while they're older. A lot of these proggers were handsome guys back in the day.  And I just wanted to say that Gary looks exactly like a guy i know named Gary. Crazy huh? Hasn't changed much ether ('cept for the hair).

peace out!

Well, as a woman I have to admit some of these people really look ugly. However, many people are just not photogenic (I'm one of them, and so are many friends of mine) - and I think it's quite mean to make fun of people who don't look their best because they're no longer young. The only way not to get older is to die, and I don't think any of us really relishes the alternative.

That said, I've recently seen a pic of Carl Palmer, who at 54 looks much better than he did in his youth. Emerson doesn't look bad either for 60, while Lake was not that good-looking as a young man too. Anyway, the three of them have aged better than John Wetton or David Gilmour, who were dashingly handsome in their youth, and look at them now...

Ugly dragqueens.  Same kind of visions of "men" stare me from the booklet of "Images and words" album.

And in what case has the opposite applied?

Actually, this thread is starting to seriously depress me! I don't think about the performer's age (or my age) when going to a classical, jazz, world music or whatever concert, but I must admit that I do when it's rock music. Rock is associated with youth, and I - as a middle aged person myself - do feel slightly, shall we say uneasy, when seeing how old - and out of shape - some of the heroes of my youth are (the same applies to me!). What I would give to be 18 again!

As this is my debut posting here, I should qualify this contribution...

GQ won't be calling ME for any photo shoots any time soon. So here's Nektar circa 2004 in Germany...

What if Prince were a Prog Genius from 1973, prancing about in this knickers and fellating his guitar, while playing incredibly tricky time signatures?????

Would you still buy his music?

peace

I do care a little bit what musicians look like.ie I would find it difficult to take Keith Emerson seriously if he walked on stage just wearing suspenders and a bra! Image plays a small part in prog although I agree that talent and ablity are by far the most important things.
