Is Steve Albini short?
I've stood next to him an dI didn't notice.
In fact I'm sure he's six foot plus.

Kurt Ralske. My god, is he tiny.

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 08:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I go for Prince. If you stand next to him, you think "jesus christ, this mofuckah is short."

― gage o (gage o), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 13:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Beck isn't much taller than Prince.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 13:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Everyone.

"Waddup bitchez, Prince is a tall fucker, U R ALL STOOPID!"

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 13:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I remember one of those Monorchid fellers being on the remarkably wee side, but I could be misremembering.

Isn't Stephen Merritt a bit diminutive?

― Lee G (Lee G), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 13:40 (twenty-two years ago)

the dwarves

blag is taller than me (>6'2")

eddie vedder is like 5'5".

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 13:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Steve Merritt's 5' even, apparently. Is Paul Williams the 'Phantom of the Paradise', 'The Rose' guy? He may be lucky enough to make it to actual dwarf/little person status (ie. prob same height as Prince)

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 13:48 (twenty-two years ago)

lil kim = 4'11"

― Nellie (nellskies), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 13:49 (twenty-two years ago)

I heard that was Prince's height. I am dubious.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 13:50 (twenty-two years ago)

brian molko!

― joan vich (joan vich), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 14:03 (twenty-two years ago)

and, er, eric idle of course.

― joan vich (joan vich), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 14:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Sloan's Jay Ferguson and Elevator's Tara are both about 3 apples high and cute as buttons on bass.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 14:10 (twenty-two years ago)

That grrly what sings for The Corrs is like barely 5 feet, idn't she?

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 14:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Gloria Estefan.

― My name is Kenny (My name is Kenny), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 15:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Any other midgets of note besides Bushwick Bill in the history of popular music?

― JoB (JoB), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 15:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Michael Gerald was like 5'3" by my recollection ...

― zaxxon25 (zaxxon25), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 16:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Princess Superstar is only like 5'3" WITH stiletto heels on.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 17:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Ani DiFranco. Joan Jett is pretty short, too.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 17:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Isabel from Drugstore.

The flautist from the Polyphonic Spree is titchy. As is Emma Pollock.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 18:50 (twenty-two years ago)

All of the guys in Fugazi are shorter than me (I'm 5'7").

― j.lu (j.lu), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 20:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Most of the guys from Blue Oyster Cult too.

― My name is Kenny (My name is Kenny), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 21:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Warren Cuccurullo! He's a tiny little thing for me to actually be able to look down at him. Ergo, the rest of the original Missing Persons lineup must've been rather vertically challenged as well.

Warren had huge, big, mega rippling muscles when I met him, though. He's sorta like the pint-sized Arnold Schwarzenegger or Lou Ferrigno of rock & roll.

― Innocent Dreamer (Dee the Lurker), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 21:44 (twenty-two years ago)

the drummer outta Toad The Wet Sprocket?

― mac, Wednesday, 2 July 2003 22:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I heard that was Prince's height. I am dubious.

I heard 5'3".

― Christine 'Green Leafy Dragon' Indigo (cindigo), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 22:33 (twenty-two years ago)

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 22:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Tracey Primitive is teeny tiny. You only really realise this if you've seen the Primitives live. They had to scale down all venues to suit her.

― DV (dirtyvicar), Thursday, 3 July 2003 20:11 (twenty-two years ago)

five years pass...

Har Mar Superstar is 5'5"

(Not anymore though)

― Geir Hongro, Monday, 25 May 2009 22:30 (sixteen years ago)

This thread has been around since 2003 and no one has yet mentioned Angry Anderson or Udo Dirkschneider?!

― Nate Carson, Monday, 25 May 2009 22:39 (sixteen years ago)

I once saw Neil Hannon and Beck side by side - how i chortled from my lofty perch; think Hannon was slightly the taller though.

― sonofstan, Monday, 25 May 2009 22:56 (sixteen years ago)

yeah it's quite hard to believe than no one mentioned.... Angry Anderson?

― jed_, Monday, 25 May 2009 22:59 (sixteen years ago)

i couldn't help but notice paul simon didn't look much taller than woody allen in "annie hall"

― messiahwannabe, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 04:03 (sixteen years ago)

Garfunkel is really tall though, so this picture may not be representative of much.

― snoball, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 08:54 (sixteen years ago)

Awesome Nietzschian moustache there Art!

― Enemy Insects (NickB), Tuesday, 26 May 2009 09:07 (sixteen years ago)

Chan Marshall? She's about five-eight, isn't she? I, er, unfortunately tend to notice these things when I meet people. (It's a pain in the neck.) She's hardly short, unless the world has gone mad.

― Michael Jones, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 09:09 (sixteen years ago)

So above average height - which I don't believe is the usual criterion for being described as short

― Dante ... Bruno . Vico .. Passantino (Tom D.), Tuesday, 26 May 2009 09:19 (sixteen years ago)

No mention of Leo Sayer yet it seems. Around 1.50 or so.

― Geir Hongro, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 09:21 (sixteen years ago)

this guy scored a couple of hits here recently:

― Ludo, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 09:24 (sixteen years ago)

according to Wikipedia he's 1.50 metres, but he looks smaller to me.

― Ludo, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 09:25 (sixteen years ago)

Angry Anderson is the midget from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (Master of Master Blaster). He got the role due to his big success as singer of the band Rose Tattoo.

Not really THAT obscure...

― Nate Carson, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 10:05 (sixteen years ago)

yeah it's quite hard to believe than no one mentioned.... Angry Anderson?

Jeez, I've been meaning to check out Rose Tattoo for years, and I'm pretty sure no one ever mentioned to me that the frontman was a midget. The hard rock world is a weird place for political correctness.

― bendy, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 12:00 (sixteen years ago)

Angry Anderson is 5'1".

― King Boy Little Pattie (sic), Tuesday, 26 May 2009 12:58 (sixteen years ago)

How is Ronnie James Dio not mentioned on here?

― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 15:14 (sixteen years ago)

He always gets over-looked.

― Enemy Insects (NickB), Tuesday, 26 May 2009 15:27 (sixteen years ago)

Michel Petrucciani

― Dante ... Bruno . Vico .. Passantino (Tom D.), Tuesday, 26 May 2009 15:29 (sixteen years ago)

Surely Iggy Pop's song 5 foot 1 is about his actual size?

― Duke, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 17:12 (sixteen years ago)

The green lighting in that vid makes the Igg look a bit like the Incredible Hulk

― Duke, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 17:14 (sixteen years ago)

Angry Anderson = bloke who did the song that Scott and Charlene got married to in Neighbours. Was a bit surprised to find out at a much later date that he had a whole actual career that wasn't that.

― ailsa, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 17:56 (sixteen years ago)

The guys from AC/DC are all pretty short.
